We are both healthy and well. Things went quite smooth and quick. I'll post more pictures once we get home from the hospital.

What did we do today?

What exactly did Madi and I do this morning? Take a guess...

We just made Carson the coolest birthday cake ever!

That's right, today Carson turned 30. What else does a man need on his 30th birthday than a unicorn cake. (not to mention it's made out of the redest red velvet cake I've ever seen)

Baby Shower

Lori, Tristen's mom, threw me a baby shower a week ago. It was great. I forgot my camera, but got some pretty sweet goods. I mostly got clothes, but that's what I need. Also, Lori made me a super cute wreath out of diapers and other little goodies. I made sure to get a picture of it before I took it apart. Thanks again, Lori!

Over the shoulder boulder holder. . .

Madi came out of my bedrrom the other day looking like this. Yes, I had people over & yes, her father helped her do up the back.

This is the pose she gave me when I told her to smile for the picture. What a silly girl I have.

This is what Madi decided to wear to the store the other day.

We got some great looks from passers.

Let the games begin!

It would be awesome to have Madi potty trained before the baby came! However, I've been hesitant about it, because she doesn't seem to have an interest in using the potty. She's cool to sit on it for a while, but then asks for her diaper. So today I decided we are going to be proactive about it & be consistent. I went and bought her bed time panties (pull-ups) & sesame street panties. I planned on starting her training next week, but she had to put on her "elmo panties". So I guess tonight is our trial run. Pray for me...

Thanks Lori!

So as most of you know I watch a little boy, Tristen, about 4 days a week. I used to work with his mom at the optometrist office. Well they just got back from vacation and brought us gifts. Not necessary, but greatly appreciated. Not only was it great to get unexpected presents, but they are super awesome presents to boot! (not an "all I got was this shirt")

For me . . .

At first I thought it would be a shirt or prego-dress. Lori, Tristen's mom, knows me better than I thought. She bought me a wicked sweet apron.

For Cal . . .

Also sweet! The horse is a soft, machine washable rattle. Also a burb cloth.

For Madi . . .

I won't lie, her's is my favorite. Also machine washable plush horse, made out of also wicked sweet fabric!

Lori's the best! Thanks a million!
