Mothering Sunday

My feet are in my hands every chance I get... especially during diaper changes!


Hello! This weekend, I helped Mommy celebrate Mothering Sunday. Mothering Sunday is celebrated the fourth Sunday of Lent every year in the UK and is the equivalent to the US holiday -Mother's Day. Ms. Maureen helped me do my first painting and "Mummy" was SOOOO excited and surprised when I gave it to her!





This week we worked on getting back on a schedule and I started napping again... most days ;-) We also worked on planning Uncle Chad, and Cousins Jake and Cara's visit. I think we are going to take them to Germany while they are here. This means I had to get my Visa in order (so they let me back in the UK) and it will be my first visit to another country! I also got my social security number this week (we finally got to finish our taxes because the IRS believes I'm legal :)... man, there is a lot of paperwork!


We also attended a barn dance on Friday night at Neil and Rachel's church (we've been there a few times and Mommy and Daddy went to the dance last year...) It was fun, but the music was kinda loud.


Daddy and Neil danced together too! :)

Let's see, what else happened this week...



OH - my new jumper arrived on Monday! Mommy ordered it Thursday night and it was already here by Monday - Go Amazon! It was recommended by a friend who is one month older than me. Her Mommy commented on how much fun Ms. Ava had in it so we took their advice. It is kinda big, but there is loads of entertainment and it will continue to grow with me until I'm toddlin about on my own. We also received my plane ticket for the states in the post! Because I am a baby, mine arrives by mail and not electronically like Mommy and Daddy's... it's official, I can't wait for June!

I talk to this frog EVERY day!


Watchin' Mommy and Daddy clean their cars.

Another "one-of-a-kind" onsie.

Did I mention that it has finally started acting like Spring? We have been watching the daffodils in bloom for the last 2 weeks (a true sign of Spring in our area) and even some flowers sprouting up in our garden. The weather has been averaging 60's and Mommy is letting me go for walks nearly every day with Daisy (plus Ms. Maureen is still taking me out every day, when the weather allows).


Happy Spring!





Love, Madelyn et. al.
