Yes it has been six months since we have posted something. My excuse is that Madelyn has been doing so well we have just been caught up great weather and having a Spring/Summer full of fun activites and holidays. Madelyn likes to go "bye, bye" and so we have been doing that alot.
We explored many far away lands. Well at least three hours away. Madelyn didn't remember our vacation last year at Clear Lake so everything was new again this year. Carl's family has vacationed there since the 80's and so has mine so it's a bit of a tradition that we go and I love making new memories in a place that has so many old ones for me.
We enjoyed many walks on the beach and watching the sun sink into the lake. We had great weather and the water was nice. Madelyn really enjoys the beach. I couldn't resist sharing this picture with you as it captures so much of what Madelyn is. Beautiful, energetic, living in the moment, and enjoying it to the fullest.
It has been a great summer watching Madelyn take it all in. I can only imagine what Fall and Winter have in store for us. She is growing and changing so much lately. Shoes are getting too small, pants are too short. She can reach things that were out of reach before. She can say things that just surprise me all the time. My favorite right now was when we were having a popsicle outside and a fly wanted in on the yummy goodness. She swatted her hand and shouted "shoo fly"! Gotta love when the personallity shines through.
The two year check up is coming in a few weeks. I promise a more timely post.
