See you again soon

My mom came to see us last week. It was so nice to have her, she is such a huge help and makes everything go so much smoother. Maddie still asks me where she is so we can play together. Thank you for coming out, I am counting down the days for your next trip.
Love you and miss you.

Who knew putting in a mailbox would be so much work

Jim came out to visit a couple months ago and we put him right to work. We had to he put in a mailbox like the one across the street in the first picture.  I will spare you all the details - basically the guys had to dig a hole for our 600lb post and then "drop" it in the hole.... they did a great job and we are so glad its done.

Our neighbor Rick doing all the work. :)

All done

Davis farm land

We took a trip to Davis farm land in Ma with our new neighbors and their girls. We had a great time, feeding baby calf's, holding bunnies, lambs, and tiny baby chicks. There was even do it yourself face painting...

Maddie would have taken this little lamb home if she could - it followed us around all day.

Happy Birthday Daddy

Daddy,
Thank you for teaching me to fly, and always being right there to catch me. I love you.

Happy Birthday Brad

Sometimes I worry about you,

You don't relax enough,

You work so hard,

There is so much for you to do

Sometimes I worry that you don't realize

how much you are appreciated,or how much you give.

or what a wonderful husband you are to me

and a wonderful father you are to our little Madeline.

But mostly I want you to know,

you make me very happy and I love you very much,

Happy Birthday

Love,

Nadia

This is what happens when we are Inside to long...

Splash Pad

Madeline strutted her stuff in a new swim suit from her Auntie Rebecca. I think it was a little small, but that's what I love about it. So cute. She had a great time playing in the water. I'm so glad we found a fun new park to take her to. Cant wait to go back next weekend.

Magic Marker and a Bath

Madeline found her first permanent magic marker and put it to good use. Im sure she was thrilled when she found it, looked around and saw no one was there and then began rapidly coloring on any and all exposed skin, new clothes and innocent cup. Luckily she chose not to continue the fun on our carpet and furniture.

 

Thank you Rebecca

Rebecca has been giving Madeline boxes of clothes since she was tiny and Ive always wanted to document how much fun we have going through them. Just today Maddie went through 5 different outfits from Rebecca. She had such a great time trying them on and running around the house. I love the swimsuit at the end. So cute.
Thank you again Reb.
