First Trip to the Lake

Madeline went to the lake for the first time over Memorial Day weekend. We spent the whole week before trying to get ready for it, driving around town trying to find a life jacket. We finally found one, and she HATED it...at least in the boat. She was okay with wearing it in the water, but I ended up having to put her in the front carrier because she was so miserable in the boat.

Mother's Day

This was my first Mother's Day so it was extra special for me. I'm so happy I finally get to celebrate this day!

Duke's graduation celebrations

In May, Duke graduated from high school so of course, there were some family celebrations.

May- 5 months

Madeline turned 5 months old in May! We can't believe how fast she's growing. She's now

about 14 and a half pounds!

April 2008

So, I got busy with school and enjoying Madeline which is why I've been so terrible about updating the blog. In April, we got to spend time with friends and family, I had my first birthday as a mom, and Madeline started eating rice cereal.
