Sorry about my poor posting! I have to admit that for the last few weeks my main concern has been a dentist appointment that is now finally over with! HOORAY! I knew going into my appointment today that they were going to have to pull 2 teeth and so I have been sick with worry about it the last few weeks. Of course everything went fine, and I now have a much healthier mouth. I do have to go back in a couple weeks to get a cavity filled, and then after that I can hopefully start the invisalign process. I am still kind of on the fence about the whole thing, because it is a costly procedure. I have always had crooked teeth and so for me to have a smile that I am proud of I almost think you can't put a price tag on that. We'll see what happens, I will keep everyone posted.

In other news, we have a water baby on our hands. It all started when we got an inflatable pool for Madden to enjoy this summer. We were hoping that he would get some enjoyment out of it. Little did we know that we would have a child who never wanted to leave the pool. Anytime we would take him out of the water he would throw a fit and cry uncontrollably. Then Phyllis gave us a pass to her neighborhood pool, and it has truly been a blessing for us. Not only does it have a kiddie pool that Madden loves to just run around in, but it also has a big pool for the parents. It's great because now Mommy and Daddy can swim and play too. Thomas and I decided that in the next house we own we are going to make sure that there is a neighborhood pool that we can join. With the summer's being as hot as they are, it really is nice to have a place to go cool off and have fun.

I am still trying to get Madden to say more words, but it just seems like he has no interest in saying anything new. He is very smart, so I am not worried that he is not understanding what I am saying, but it would be nice to get some responses every once in a while. Although when he looks at me with that cute face he doesn't really have to say anything. We got a lot of compliments on how cute Madden is in the last week, and although you always think your child is cute others may not. There were three separate incidents in the last week where people went out of there way to tell us how cute Madden is. Who knew Thomas and I could make such a cutie patootie!

I have got some more things to do, so I will leave you all with a few new pics, and my BEAUTIFUL Star Gazers that just bloomed!
