Hello?
Sorry blogreaders, all 3 of you! I haven't done a very good job of documenting my kids' lives. It's just that everything they do is so cute that I couldn't possibly write it all down. Anyway...I'll try to do a better job and what better way to jump back in than with a post about my little girl's first day of kindergarten. Where has the time gone?
Seems like just yesterday we were bringing home our first baby, sweet Madeline Rose.
It took both of us about 30 minutes to change her clothes the first time! We were so scared we were going to break her!
We've come a long way, baby! You are so smart and will do so well in school! You have quite the vocabulary, thanks to Fancy Nancy, and are curious about EVERYTHING!
We're about to close out our, I mean your, first week of kindergarten, and you already seem like an old pro. I've already gotten a nice note from your teacher saying what a joy you are to have in class, and you've already gotten to be "line leader," a most prestigious honor for a kindergartener!
I just wish you would slow this whole growing up thing down a little bit! I mean, sending your baby off to kindergarten is one thing (and yes, I did cry when she turned to go to her wee little table) but did I also mention the first loose tooth that occurred this week? Slow it down a little, ok?
We love you!

Flashback Friday
Maddy was about 2 1/2 when we took this video. Now, if she were only that serious about her broccoli! Be sure to turn your sound up, especially for the last video.
A little bit more...
Have a great weekend!

RIP Henry the Fish
Henry had jumped ship, walked the plank, gone to the big fishbowl in the sky. The way I jumped you would have thought a rattlesnake had been lurking under that tray. Poor, poor Henry. Henry had been a present for Maddy's 5th birthday in March. She handled it pretty well. She went to Meme's house (my mom) yesterday for a sleepover. My mom called me yesterday afternoon and said that Maddy wanted to talk to me. Here is how it went:
Maddy: Mommy, we're going to the pet store, and can I get a new fish?
Me: Hmmm....don't you think we should talk to Daddy first?
Maddy: I miss Henwy sooo much. I need a new fish.
Me: Well, okay. (yes, I am a pushover)
Since Meme was the one who took her to the pet store, I think SHE should have custody of our new fish friend. What do yall think?
