Busy Week in Houston!

This past week Madelyn and I went to Houston to scope out where we will be living. Yes, we are going to be moving back to Houston. The shortened version is that Adam will be heading up a new account in Houston and he will start in June. Our house is on the market and we hope it sells soon! Last week since Adam was out of town and my parents were in Houston I met up with them. Mom helped out with Maddie while I checked out some neighborhoods. We also got to meet with with some friends while we were there.

We had dinner at Jan and Bob's house, but I do not have pictures to show. They were excited to have a baby girl there (many boys in their family).

We met up with my Uncle Kevin (Maddie's Great Uncle) for dinner at Pappasito's, yum!

We also met up with Valerie and Matt. Matt is Italian and he made his special spaghetti sauce for us, it was VERY good! We had a great time.

Then, we met up with Jennifer at her house! We had a nice time catching up.

Thursday was my mom's birthday! Happy Birthday mom! Maddie had a cute outfit on, but it was a little too hot for her in Houston that day.

Papa Jack and Maddie were watching basketball together in the hotel.

Dinner with Kalli and Alyssa

As promised below are the pictures of Madelyn and Alyssa eating Mexican food!

7 Week Picture

We were in a hotel for Maddie's 7 week Picture! She was not very excited about the chair that she was sitting in. Also, this week she started to get what looks like Eczema with some Baby Acne mixed in. Both are looking a lot better now.

Happy First Birthday Cousin S!

Madelyn's cousin S turned 1 on April 21st! Time sure does fly. It seems like yesterday that she was born now she is busy walking around!

The cake that Papa Al made

6 Weeks

Madelyn is a lot more alert lately and people and objects will hold her attention. She is still sleeping well at night. There are still a few nights here and there where she will only sleep 4 hours in a row instead of 6. She is getting better at holding her head up. The picture below shows her almost holding her head up herself. She has become quite a bit more vocal, especially in the evenings.

Also. she has been enjoying tummy time. She has taken a couple of really good naps on her tummy mat while I have been working on my sewing projects.

Easter Photo Shoot

Last week we met up with Kalli and her daughter Alyssa. The pictures from dinner are on my mom's camera and I don't have them, but I will post them when I get them. Below is my friend Dana, aka "Aunt Fifi," with Maddie. We did not get a picture with "Uncle" Trent.

Madelyn's Visit to the Office

Last week while I was in DFW visting my parents I stopped by my office to show Madelyn off. Rachel, one of my co-workers, brought her daughter Claire too! Claire is a week older than Madelyn.Rachel, Claire. Madelyn and Me.
My boss, Theresa, with Maddie.

Brandon carried both of the girls down to the parking lot for us. Looks like he could handle twins...
