10.10.09 - Apples

Maddie gets pretty excited about having apples for the first time.

10.09.09 - Snuggly

Normally, Maddie snuggles with a bunny as she's going to bed. But tonight she held on tight to one of her shoes as she drank her bedtime bottle.

10.08.09 - Test playin'

Maddie does some test playin' on the newly installed carpet in the basement. Nerf green was replaced with a neutral "lily." As soon as we can get organized the playroom will be officially moved downstairs so we can enjoy the cooler temps in the summer and the fireplace in the winter.

10.07.09 - On the move

One of Maddie's new favorite hangouts is underneath the dining room table. Interestingly, it used to be one of Harley's, too, until we replaced the carpet with laminate flooring.

10.06.09 - What's better than shoes?

The box they came in!

10.05.09 - No pictures!

Whatever!

10.04.09 - Tuckered out

We're all worn out from a long, but good, weekend.

10.03.09 - Oh. Brother.

We had a great time hanging out with Heather and Dennis and their kids Braden and Taylor tonight. Taylor is about six weeks older than Maddie and while we used to see them all the time before the girls were born we haven't seen much of each other in the months since. After our reconnection tonight, I'm hopeful that will change! Maddie might not be so sure if Braden keeps picking on her, though. Better get used to it girlie ... you're gettin' a brother!

10.02.09 - Dad's shoes

Harley bought me this pair of shoes for Christmas last year. Maddie likes to play with them.

10.01.09 - Bedtime bottle

Usually Maddie's bedtime bottle is followed by a few books and some snuggling but tonight she conked out before she could drink even three ounces. Must have been a good day playin' with Grandma Shepherd!
