Time Flies

It feels like it was just the other day we put up a new post.... Well several weeks have gone by and here we are. Crazy to think that time is flying this fast. There have been a lot of ups and downs over the last several weeks.

We had to say goodbye to Grandpa T a couple weeks ago. It was a bitter sweet situation. We know he is no longer in pain or uncomfortable. But we weren't ready to see him go. He was always one to strike up conversation with anyone, even if he didn't know your name! He was a great family man and a pinnacle of the church. He will be missed. Its helpful to know that he is finally at Home with Grandma T. You will be missed!

Maddie is getting so big and so talkative... of course she has been talkative since she was born but now she is using so many different words, phrases, and expressions that its hard to keep up with them all. The other day I picked her up from the YMCA and she asked where I parked. I told her way up over here.... She turns and looks at me and says "Are you kidding me, Daddy!" "You got to be kidding me... way over there!".... I didn't know what to say or do so I said "No, I am not kidding you we are way over here"..... "Silly Daddy you are kidding me".

She is enjoying her days attending the preschool classes twice a week at the YMCA. She is also in KinderGym and Tumbling class. She is so excited about all of them.
On top of Maddie's schedule Jamie and I have been having a lot of different activities with work. I typically am traveling all over the place and this month was somewhat of an enigma. I had customers in town every week so I didn't leave to go anywhere. Jamie is continuing to kick butt and take names at the YMCA and it is very apparent that many people are taking notice. She is a true asset to the organization.

Of course through all of this we found the time to build a house. There has been a growing appreciation for living a house over the last several weeks as we have been caged in a small apartment with Maddie's toys taking up the majority of the room :).

Below are a few different pictures of the last several weeks....
