Hoping for Spring...

It has been a little while since the last post mostly due to a case of denial and hibernation after having a mid-March snowfall. With daylight savings providing an extra hour of sunlight and Madison contributing with her bright smile, the pictures below are in hope of Spring's arrival.

With the snow came some scary as hell interesting situations. First, Jeff decided to jog into Maddie's daycare to protect Maddie from frigid weather. He was crossing a little walking bridge and almost inside when he found some ice, or it found him. His first thoughts were what to do with Maddie? He threw his arm out and she had a 10.0 landing on her carseat. He wasn't so fortunate, and there is a blue denim streak on the concrete to prove it. I called him and asked if he wanted me to bring him pants, and he declined as it was a good story to explain his limp...according to him.

Next, I had to wake up after only 3 hours of sleep to pick up Maddie from daycare and take her to the doctor for her 6 month visit. In my right mind, I wouldn't have attempted Midway Hill (a pretty steep grade), but I was in a hurry, so I took it easy. Going ten miles an hour, I started to break...and couldn't. Next came the emergency break. That didn't work either. With, images of my car in the Little Spokane River, I contemplated bailing the Highlander. Looking down the hill with three other cars in the ditch, only divine intervention slowed my car (is that my reward for keeping faithful with my "no chips for Lent" promise:) ?).

*Check out Cupcake Couture! They have the cutest tutus, burp rags, hooter hiders, and blankies! Here are a couple of pics of Maddie wearing her Cupcake Couture tutu...SHE LOVES IT!

Thanks to Greg and Kelly for Maddie's first pair of shades...she's an optimist:)

We had so much fun @ Steph's Wedding Shower today! We are so happy she found someone who makes her happy...she deserves the best!
