Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day!

For my first Mother's Day, Madelyn decided to give me (us!) 9 hours of sleep last night, 7.5 of which we were able to do the same. What could be better? Thank you Maddie!

We went for a great evening walk last night, saw a few spring flowers popping up despite the late snows. Last night was Jackson High's Prom - we had a great time people watching as we passed all of the restaurant windows! Looking forward to more evening walks in town this summer, there's always something happening...

The update on Maddie: She is smiling up a storm! She has so much to say, and has discovered her VOLUME. Madelyn is trying like mad to suck her thumb or fingers, but can't quite figure out how to open her fist, so instead, the challenge becomes "how to fit an entire fist in her mouth." A good party trick if you can manage, we keep telling her. Madelyn is newly in love with polka-dots... she has spent much of her waking hours in the last few days chatting away to a piece of scrap paper with black dots on it. A true reminder of the simple pleasures in life!
