3 Months... and yucky Computers!

The most exciting part... Madelyn is 3 months old as of Tuesday!!! The reason the post is made today... Mommy's computer got a virus and Daddy's was confiscated by customs! We have decided we are not so lucky with laptops and will go back to a desktop just as soon as we move and have the space!

The stories behind the computer chaos? Shaye's was fixed in MN and sent back to us, but because it was declared at a higher value, customs decided they needed it and tried to tax it. They have had is since the 22 of January! After many calls and verifying that we are part of the visiting forces... we should have it by the end of the week. On my computer, after a week of consult and assistance from a friend we discovered we had to start the whole thing over. Back to factory settings for us. Luckily, we learned from last year and have been saving everything of importance on an external hard drive!! Seriously, we have 2 computers and on several occasions they BOTH have been out of commission - how does this happen??

We had an interesting week of SNOW! Out of the 5 days last week, 3 were late starts/ delays on base. My week was very slow going since the kids missed half a day, most of the teachers wouldn't relinquish them for services so they could get some classwork completed. It is CRAZY how a little snow sends everyone running! Granted, this is the first time since we've been here that there has been weather like this.

The snow that caused delays...

Back to the important one of the family...

I cannot believe Madelyn has been here for 3 whole months! She is definitely starting to let her personality shine through. Okay, okay, DAD- here is Madelyn's view on the week...

I am excited to say that I have conquered my New Year's resolution! I am a thumb sucker, especially when I'm sleepy. To no avail, Mommy continues to shove that silicone dummy in my mouth, but I graciously take and spit is right back out at her :) If it is not my thumb/ fist in my mouth, it is my blankie or whatever I can get a hold of!

My feet and hands continue to fascinate me. Who needs toys? Not that I'm bragging, but I am also becoming quite the champ at this head control deal. Mommy will even put me in my Bumbo for a while - she won't go far, she says she's still a little worried about whip lash, but one day soon!

I have one more picture of a great onsie you haven't seen, but Mommy keeps forgetting which ones she has pictured and which ones she hasn't so... She has stopped shoving that crazy camera in my face quite so much, maybe only every other day now :) It still fascinates me (as you'll see in my video).

We kinda think we need another one asking to borrow the teeth :)

Things are going really well at Maureen's (the babysitter). She told Mommy that I make the other baby cry. I guess she gets worried if I start to cry and then we both are hollerin a bit! I've also got her played as well as my Grandma was... I wake up when she puts me down so I get LOTS of cuddles :) Mommy is trying to convince her I sleep on my own at home, but I'm gonna see how long I can keep this going!

Until next week,

Madelyn et. al.

PS. Mommy is teaching me to stick out my tongue... this is the best I've gotten so far!

Boo... the video wouldn't upload. We'll try again, but really wanted to get something up for our fans!
