School Days

Madelyn started mother's day out at a new church this year. It's right down the street from the house so it's super convenient, which will be even better when baby brother gets here and some of her neighborhood friends go there too. She has two sweet teachers this year and lots of sweet little classmates. She seems to really like it.

It's a ......

It's a boy!!

We are so excited to have a sweet baby boy on the way. I'm still a little shocked that it's a boy but could not be happier. We had a ultrasound yesterday at 16 weeks and were thrilled to be able to find out what we're having. We had a little gender reveal party last night at Mymy and Pop's house and decided to go ahead and tell Madelyn she was getting a sibling. We hadn't told her before last night just because she asks so many questions and that would make for a long nine months. Now I only have five more months of questions. She is so excited to have a baby brother on the way, she hasn't stopped talking about it. When we asked her if she wanted a baby brother or sister she said sister but that quickly changed once she found out she was getting a brother. She had lots of questions, like where he was, how he got in my belly, how she could get him out, she even yelled at my belly "come out baby brother".  She also told me to open my mouth so she could get him out. Ha!
Big sister
so excited!!

 Madelyn had so much fun at our little party and already loves baby brother so much. She cried last night and then again today after she woke up from her nap because she just wants her baby brother to come now!! Trying to explain to an upset three year old why we have to wait a few more months for baby brother is not an easy task but I think for now she understands- hopefully.

The 4th

For the 4th of July we went to The Club for a great firework show, good food, fun and music. Madelyn had a blast. They had all kinds of kids stuff set up. Madelyn got a rattoo (aka tattoo) played in a jump jump, took a train ride, played golf and danced the night away.

Feeding the ducks at Star lake
 Madelyn and Banner loved feeding all the ducks and turtles. There was a man and his son there fishing and they would catch fish and then let Madelyn and Banner throw their fish back for them. They were so proud to be throwing the fish back.

Lately

 We have been having so much fun this summer. We had our last kindermusik class in May and Madelyn has really missed Miss Jill and all her friends.

We went to visit Grandpa at work one day and got to play in some of his big trucks.
