Hello one and all! This is my attempt to once again start a family blog. My previous attempt on Shutterfly worked out for a while, but I felt limited to what I could do on there. The whole purpose for doing a blog initially was so that family back home could keep up with our everyday lives. When I started to think about it more and more though, I thought this would be a great way to chronicle Madden's life. I am having a hard time keeping up with his baby book so this will be a great reference guide for me.

So in recent news I just celebrated my 27th birthday. I now agree with what everybody says in that the older you get the more and more you start to dread your birthdays. I know I am only 27 but it just seems like such a big number. I don't feel like i have been on this earth 27 years but I suppose the math does add up. Besides that though, I am very fortunate to have such wonderful friends and family that really make me feel special on my big day. Thomas and Madden made sure to make my Birthday weekend as wonderful as possible. Thomas even changed all the poopy diapers, what a guy! I always feel very lucky to have such a wonderful husband, and loving little boy.

In Madden news...well he is living up to the title of boy. We have not had anymore "Poop episodes" thank God! After having to clean poop off of his head and hands two times I was done. Hopefully he will get potty trained soon, or we will have to get him onesie pajamas's forever. He is still trying to figure out how to say things, and it seems like he can pick up on singing a song much easier than actually saying words. Maybe we have a Pavarotti on our hands! It' so funny how no matter what the song may be he figures out a way to incorporate the words mama and dada into them. He just knows how to melt our heart!

I am going to post a few recent pictures. Be sure to come back and visit as I am going to try and stay on board here!
