A Well Needed Break

Morning -

The past few weeks have been nothing but busy for us. I realized about a week and a half ago that I was writing down things I needed to talk to Pat about so I wouldn't forget! We all know that I am a fan of to-do lists, but to make one in order to discuss everything we need to??? Give me a break! Right then and there we both decided we needed to make some changes to try and free up a little time for us. I will be working some different hours at the Y which will make a big difference for us. We are also trying to set aside some time on the weekends to not be booked up!! All of this cagot figured out at a perfect time . . .a planned trip to Appleton to kick back at a hotel for a weekend. It was nice to not be on a schedule and relax in comfy clothing all weekend long!

Maddie and I doing what she loves best - reading her book as we wait for dad to get home from work!

Our little fish - look how long she is getting!

Hanging out poolside sucking on some water toys - rough life!

Kisses from Uncle Ryan! She loves to just sit and stare at him!

After Maddie got out of the water Pat spiked her hair and it stayed that way!

It was nice to get away and relax for the weekend. We were looking forward to a lazy and WARM Sunday at home. We spent some great quality time together. I think the highlight of my Sunday was laying in our bed rolling around with Maddie. . . .all you could hear were giggles coming from her! We did make our way downstairs to play for awhile and she rode her new friend Mr Lion for the longest time. . . .

All in all it was a great time! And I am happy to report that Miss Maddie is crawling everywhere, has been for a little while now but I forgot to include that on my last post. Also, she has 2 teeth finally! One is on the bottom in the middle and the other is off to the side on the top - Pat calls it her fang! She is growing up so darn quick. . . .
