I'm All Smiles!

After one of the most challenging weeks I've had in a LONG time, maybe even ever, we're coming to the end. The A/C should be fixed today and hopefully life can start getting back to normal. I'm so lucky to be blessed with such wonderful family and friends, Bryce who is amazing, and the best baby in the whole world - whose smiles and laughs melt my heart and can't help but cheer me up! All of you have helped me get through all of the sadness and difficult days... Thank you!
Here's a gallery of my cute smiling face and even a few videos too to help keep all of you happy too! ENJOY! I love you! XOXO
Every once in a while I have to stick my tongue out to get my Mommy to stop taking pictures! It works... sometimes!

In Memory of Maddy... my very first little girl

After 8 wonderful years, my little Maddy went to heaven yesterday to be with her other friends. It's ironic that the very night before, Brynn got a chance to pet her. Maddy loved Brynn and it was almost like that made her life complete and she could now rest happy! It was also meant to be that I took a video on my camera, completely by accident. God works in mysterious ways! Everyone tells me I take a million pictures - and this is why... I have all of these pictures to remind me of the wonderful times we had with Maddy. I know that Maddy would love to have her own page on the blog, so this page is all for her! We love you!
Maddy and her new little sister - she was so proud!
Maddy's favorite pastime... "pet me, pet me!"
Maddy and her favorite brother, Jack
Maddy & Mia last Halloween... they loved watching the trick-or-treaters!
She LOVED getting dressed up and being the center of attention!
Maddy's 8th Birthday Party! Complete with lots of love, pets and Frosty Paws!!

Dear Miss Maddy, (“Mad Mad”) When I first held you, I never realized how special of a girl you would be. You made my life for the past 8 years, so much better!! You gave me so much love. I always knew you’d be waiting at the door with your toy after a bad day – and good days too. You are irreplaceable and I will never, ever, EVER forget you. Thank you for being so great, so loyal and so loving. I love you more than anything! I have a feeling you waited until you knew that Mommy was safe with Bryce and happy with Brynn. I will be ok and I’ll take great care of your baby sister and tell her all about you! I’m happy that she got to pet you before you left us and show you how much she loves you too. You are SO special Maddy, we miss you more than anything already. I wish I could have kept you here forever, but I know that’s selfish on my part. You have such a big heart and you gave it all away to everyone else. I know you were getting tired and so now you can rest – we love you Maddy! I will always remember your funny little attitude… your somewhat muffled growl/bark when you wanted something (those who knew her know what I mean), your big moan when you sat down, telling us it’s time to eat starting at 4pm (when it’s really 5pm! … we were on to you!!) “doing the Maddy” (lifting your leg to have your belly rubbed), the way your ears perked up when we asked if you wanted a treat, staring us down all day long to be pet until your hair fell out, and putting your head down on my shoulder to be hugged tight. Like I said, you were and always will be such a special girl. You will live on forever in our hearts, and in everyone else you ever met. I promise you that! I will miss all of your tail wags, kisses & your smiling white face and I’m so glad we were all able to celebrate your Birthday together. I love you girl!

I'm Growing SO Fast!

I'm 6 weeks old today (9/19/10) and getting so big! I weigh over 10 pounds and have grown 2 inches since I was born. I smile all the time, coo and laugh... especially at my Mom & Dad! (Mom's trying to get a video of me so I'll be able to show you my tricks very soon!) I also reach for my toys on my froggy chair. Everything is great!
Mommy is so crazy - she makes me laugh!
CHEESE!
Hmmm... who's that beautiful girl in the mirror?!
It's ME!

How do I look in my new hat?
I like it so much I kept my hand on it during my stroller ride... I don't want to lose my new bonnet!
One more photo shoot with the girls. My Auntie Colleen is leaving today and I miss her already... I can't wait to see her again at Christmas! I LOVE YOU! Thanks for coming out to help my Mommy & Daddy... XOXO

Where are my drivers?
That was great...

My Auntie Col Comes to Visit!

We know how much she loves her brownies, so Mom & I made a batch before she arrived!She held me as soon as she got here and I fell right to sleep...
Me & my Auntie Col - I love her!!
She is one crazy Aunt - All I can do is laugh!
She brought with her all sorts of clothes for me! I even got my first pair of Tommy Hilfiger jeans! She is the best...
She also bought me my new Froggie vibrating chair - It's so fun! YAY! I'm already one month! I'm starting to smile all the time now. I even laugh from time to time watching all of these people trying to figure out what to do with me!
To celebrate my one month Birthday, I went to Target with the girls. My first big adventure out...
Mom & Auntie Col were nervous, but I loved it! Shopping is great!
