Happy Birthday Andrew!

Monday was Andrew's 27th birthday. I didn't get a chance to blog because we were traveling back from Roanoke. But, I wanted to let everyone know how much he means to me and Madeline. Andrew has been an amazing husband for the past 3 1/2 years. He is more than I could ever have dreamed of. He is sweet, caring, sensitive, fun, exciting and I love spending every minute with him that I can. It has been even more amazing to watch him be a wonderful father to Madeline. I knew that he would be a great father. But, once again, he is even better than I had imagined. He loves spending time with his little girl. He changes diapers (and the diaper pail) without a complaint. He is so excited to come home from work to spend time with his little girl. He sings to her. He rocks her. He reads to her. He shows her his fish tank. They are going to be great buddies. :) So, thanks for being so wonderful, Andrew. I love you with all my heart and I hope you had a wonderful birthday!

Madeline's New Toy

Madeline got a new toy from her cousin Will. She has really started to grab things lately So, she loves this new exersaucer. We have to put a blanket behind her because she is still a little small for it. But, she loves the toys. And I already know all of the songs on it very well. :) Thank you Will for letting us use your exersaucer!

Fun Times in Roanoke

As you can see, Madeline did not have a lack of attention in Roanoke this past weekend. Madeline fit very nicely on mom's ottoman so we could all watch her play. All of her great grandparents came over for a visit on sunday afternoon.

These are my dad's parents.


These are my mom's parents.


And a good family friend came over to visit as well with her daughter and grandaughter.

Even though my brother, Nathaniel, couldn't come into town. We gave him a call on Skype.


And of course, Madeline loved her time with her Pawpaw...


and Granny B.

Krisha' s Baby Shower

This past weekend, I had the chance to celebrate with friends at another baby shower. Little Baby Chase Whited is due to arrive in the middle of April. Krisha is such a beautiful pregnant lady. She had the cutest little belly I have ever seen. Her sister, Renu, threw the shower for her at her house in Roanoke.

I love all these baby showers because it means that I get a mini reunion with all my friends from college.


As you can see, we always have lots of fun together :)


And it is really fun that Madeline gets to join in all the fun now too. She loves her Aunt Jenny. :)

Madeline's Aquarium

Madeline's Nana (Andrew's mom) got her this aquarium before she was born. We recently got it out and put it next to her changing table and she loves it! Thanks Nana!

Happy Election Day!

Madeline participated in her first election day yesterday. The results didn't turn out as we had hoped. But, we weren't really surprised. At least Madeline got to wear her new cherry hat that her Granny B made her! :) By the way, can you figure out which sticker is Andrew's? :)
