It's a New Year!

I can't believe how fast the time has flown.....it seems like it was just summertime! Well, I'm REALLY behind (my last post was from July 4th!). So, in an attempt to catch up on what's been happening around here for the last 6 months, I'm just going to highlight some favorite moments.

July

Swimming Lessons

Madison and mommy took swimming lessons for the first time! I wanted Madison to get used to the water before our beach vacation this year. She loves her baths, so I figured that once she got used to it, she'd love the pool too! Well, the first day, she was very timid.....barely wanted to get her toes in. But, by day 2, she was going all the way in. If I wasn't watching very closely, she would've walked right in until the water was over her head! She loved jumping in from the side and picking up water rings. We had so much fun!

Cow Appreciation Day at Chick-Fil-A

I can't remember when I've had so much fun dressing up and acting like a little kid! I love my playgroup - all of the mommies have become such dear friends to me - and all of the kids have become such dear friends to Madison. We look forward to our time together each week. But, this particular week was particularly fun! We decided to get together, make our costumes, and then head to Chick-Fil-A to receive our free meals (stay-at-home moms will do anything for something free :-) Our group was a hit - all the management at the store were taking our pictures and telling us how we were the best group that had come in! What a fun memory!
