Museum of Flight

Madelynn's first trip to the Museum of Flight (Michelle's first time, too!)!

4 weeks old!

Happy Birthday, sweet Madelynn!! We can't believe you're already 4 weeks old!!

Just a few cute pictures from the past couple weeks ...

10 days old

Madelynn has had a busy 10 days! Between stopping at the Kentridge picket line, a doctor's appointment, first excursion to Target, a trip to Papa and Tutu's, going to church and the church picnic, a trip to Grandpa and Grandma's, a walk down to Molly's house on the lake, and many wonderful visitors, she's learning all about life!!

First Sunday at church

A few pictures of Madelynn's youngest visitors

Smiling at Mommy .... :)

Madelynn Dianne

So much to tell, but for now just a few pictures!

Madelynn Dianne was born on Monday, August 24 at 7:19 in the morning. She was 6 pounds, 12 ounces and 18 1/2 inches long. We think she's perfect!! :)

We are home ... pretty tired, but all doing well!! :)

38 weeks

Baby Michard could come any time!! :) What do YOU think -- boy or girl?!? We can't wait to find out!!

Alder Lake

Last weekend we camped at Alder Lake with friends from church. Rich took a couple days off work and we made a long weekend of it. What a great time to relax!!! And, it was baby Michard's first camping trip! :) It's pretty crazy to think that next year we'll be keeping up with an almost one-year old!!!

Thanks, Annette, for the pictures!! I didn't take a single one ........

Are you ready??

The countdown is on (baby Michard is due in less than 6 weeks) and the question of the hour (aside from "Are you having a boy or a girl?") is "Well, are you ready?" My response ... Sure, why not!?! :)

Here is an updated picture of the nursery. Many special people are represented by the items in the room!

Since we don't know if we're having a boy or a girl (the answer to the other question!), we've decorated with primary colors and numbers and letters.

The little things ... Hard to imagine such a little one to fit into these little clothes. I think it's time to get all those tags cut off and the clothes washed! Thanks, Elise, for ALL the hangers!!

This one is for Megan!!
