A long time coming...

Ok, so basically I'm just going to be honest and say that I really haven't been motivated to write. It has been a tough transition back into the daily grind and it has been hard to find time to update.

So a quick update, we spent some time with my family in Mission Viejo and played games on New Years and just really enjoyed some time with my family. Maddie really liked hanging out with my family and they seemed to feel the same way. We then drove back up to Tulare so that we could fly out in Fresno. On the day before we were to leave Courtney and her family decided that she should stay for a week to attend to some family matters (and they wanted to see Maddie for longer). So I came home and got ready for the new semester! A week later I picked Courtney up... and how Maddie had grown!!

Here is what is up with Maddie right now... she rolls over with no problem to her left. She holds her head up when on her stomach and can even look at the TV when on her stomach. She has been started on rice cereal stuff that she didn't really like. She loves to suck on cups and put everything in her mouth. She has tremendous dexterity in her hands and can grasp most things. Our pastor's wife fed her some ice cream which she LOVED and cried when she couldn't get more. She is also in the middle of teething and her first tooth should be coming in shortly...

NOW... ON TO THE PICTURES!!!
