I got a new camera as a late Christmas gift.... let me just say that I love it and it makes a huge difference when photographing Madison and the boys. JR and I look forward to taking classes together to learn about our new camera. Here are some pictures that I have recently taken.

Madison is in a new phase that she tries to get away with anything she can to not go to bed. She will stand at her door and make googly faces at us, come out and cover me with a blanket, kiss my leg, anything and everything. It is maddening and sweet at the same time.

Another Graduation

A nice time relaxing together

Madison was on time out, but got quiet and this is what I found!!!

Apparently Aspen was cold and needed some toys (Madison took this picture)

Madison loves her puppies as much as she loves babies (just like her mommy)

Madison graduated from Little Gym again and is moving up to the Little Beast class with the 2 1/2 to 3 yr olds. I can't believe she has been going there since she was 6 months old. I can see her gaining her confidence and coming out of her shell no only at Little Gym, but also our gym daycare.

Well, Madison has finally found out what happens when you lick the bottom of your shoes among other things. She got sick yesterday afternoon and all last night. When she decide to get sick she sure gets sick. I think she threw up about 7 times last night and twice this morning, but she acts fine between everyone. Me on the other hand, I actually did the best that I ever have, but JR was also here to help. My poor baby, I hope she grows out of this soon.

Madison and I spent the last week up here in Coeurd'Alene, Idaho. We threw a baby shower for our friend Jenny and her baby Gavin. We had a wonderful time up here, Madison was able to snowshoe in the backyard a little bit, but it had warmed up and started to rain so we weren't able to take her sledding. Madison did great with the baby. Every time he'd start making a face Madison would tell us that Gavin wanted Grandma or me, I don't think she understood that Gavin has a different Mommy and Grandma!!!

We went to visit my Grandma a couple of times and Madison came with us. On one trip she saw a picture of herself and said she was in her wedding dress. When I asked her who she had married she said she had married me and Aunt Mic :) Madison also had fun playing "Chess-ter" with Papa (that's chess) and also hide and seek.
