Happy Mother's Day!!!

I can hardly believe I just celebrated my first Mother's Day! I've waited so many years to be able to share this special day and I spent several moments overcome with emotion and joy that tears streamed down my face. I had such a wonderful day and I will treasure this one forever. I have so much love for my beautiful baby girl that I can't even begin to explain how touched my heart and soul is that God brought her into our lives. She has been worth the very long wait.

Happy Mother's Day to all you Mom's out there and for all those Mom's still waiting for their precious baby.

as promised...

here are some more pictures of Madi playing in her (partially finished) playroom tonight, enjoy!

How cute am I?

I love my music table

WOW, playing sure does tire me out - I'm ready for bed now 'night!

Yup, you are reading correctly....we've updated!

Ok everyone, take a breath....a deap calming breath.....we've FINALLY made an update to our blog!!!

Now that the shock has worn off, I'm very surprised with myself that my fingers still remember how to type! lol!

Things have been very busy in our household and at the other times I've just been too lazy to update our blog to keep you posted on how our beautiful Madi is doing.....SORRY!

Where do I start, here are 5 things since the last update:

1: Madi started walking by herself on April 19th by taking a few steps. She is still trying to do some more walking, she's up to about 5 steps now but she's got awesome balance. She doesn't want to be held much anymore, she just wants down so she can go....go....go....just like a normal 15 month old.

2. She has a mouthful of teeth, she has 10 right now and is cutting 2 more molars as we speak, hopefully they'll break through this week!

3. She has taken another growth spurt and is now growing out of yet more pj's....she's going into 12-18 month old pj's with feet.....without feet 12 month (and 6-12 month from the gap) still fit.

4. We had Madi dedicated at our church Sunday and it was the most beautiful ceremony!

5. Madi is anxiously waiting for her 'bff' Ella to come home. Her Mommy and Daddy are leaving on Thursday for China to bring her home. Check out Bryan and Angela's blog on my links.

Chris and I are doing great - Chris is feeling better from his accident - with help from Physiotherapy and Chiropractic treatments. Things are finally setttling down around our house with regards to the renovations. Our basement is done! well, except the doors aren't installed and the wall hangings aren't up.....but that is very manageable! It looks great, we love it!

Here are the pics that you really wanted to see, enjoy!

Benny, Mommy and Madi

Like my pig tails? This is the first time Mommy put them in my hair, they lasted but a few minutes and I pulled them out :0)

For some reason I can't find the more updated pictures so I'll post some more soon, and try to upload a video, check back!

Take care and enjoy the sunshine!
