Happy Thanksgiving!


Playing with Sophia's pony during church.

Another eventful week around here... First we hope you all had a great Turkey Day with friends and family. We had a big meal over at the Johnson's who so graciously hosted this year. 13 adults + 3 kids = a great day! It included some Wii, entertainment from us kids, and just good 'ol fashion conversation. Oh, Wednesday night we went to a Thanksgiving ceremony at the Ely Cathedral (amazing church) where some of our friends sang (Ms. Alicia, Erica, and Jackie). It was nice and I was such a good girl!

Mommy and Daddy at Ely Cathedral (back of it)
When they first got here... Jan. 2007!

The rest of the week involved packing and sorting - yep, they are still at it!! Mommy and Daddy have successfully gotten rid of most of the things they wanted and are now just trying to get everything we don't want the movers to take into one room (so there are no mistakes). I'm not really quite sure what is going on. I really hope this means something good is going to happen. I still look for Daisy by the back door when I hear her name... Although I did get to see her on the web cam this weekend! She is now in SD with Nana and Papa and Hucky!!


I love Misty and Julian...
but really didn't want my picture taken!

We also had to (sadly) say goodbye to Ms. Misty and Mr. Julian. They were such good friends and Mommy is so glad she got to meet Misty through work. We were lucky enough to hang out several times this week. We are really going to miss these two, but they promised I could come and visit them in California... plus, Julian is from New Mexico so maybe we can even get them to pop over to Texas some day!!


Misty is so much fun!!!

Hope you all have a great December! This week's video is kinda long, but I am eating by myself - I am such a big girl! Other things I do myself... I LOVE throwing things away - even my own nappies! I am talking like crazy, especially in the morning. I try to repeat almost everything Mommy and Daddy say and when I stop for a second and concentrate on Mommy's mouth, I'm almost perfect at it. I do not like to do anything I don't want to do... this means I am getting good at throwing tantrums - arch back, yelling, crying - quite the show. I take off my shoes and socks at every possible interval (** Mommy note - plan and extra time to get out of the car once destination is reached), and I would much rather be NAKED than anything else!

xoxo,
Madelyn

Good job Madelyn!!! Totally ironic that Sienna has that exact same bowl and sippy cup! :) Hope you are all doing well and good luck with the move.

I sure miss you but I want you to know that Daisy has settled in just fine. Huck and her are having lots of fun together and she's getting plenty of exercise. Pretty soon you'll be saying 'do it self' :)
