Madison is writing!

I know. Crazy that I'm doing two posts in two days but
I just had to share this.
Madison wrote on Sunday afternoon, and I just thought it was the cutest 
thing ever!
Translation:
You are so beautiful so I love you
because I love you and you are 
You love me too because we are a 
family. That is why I love you.
For my mom and dad.

I love it! It's so neat when they start reading and writing!

And here are some pictures from yesterday.

Happy Birthday Nadiya! 
My baby is 1 today! Time has flown by so fast since this day last year. 
 
 
And look how big she is now! :( 
I am having a combined party for her and Ethan this afternoon. 
Ethan is pretty super excited. But I think that's mostly because he thinks he's going to be getting
more presents. (Heehee, little does he know!)
 
 Ignore the cake. It was free, I was lazy.
I don't think Ethan minded, so I don't care.


A few weeks ago, we had to take Ethan into the emergency. He was running, and tripped a fell and
hit his mouth on a corner of a drawer on Madison's bed. 
He ended up getting 5 stitches on the outside of his lip and one on the inside. 
The doctor also noticed at the hospital that one of his top teeth got pushed back, so I 
had to take him to the dentist. Right now they aren't going to do anything about his tooth, 
I'm just hoping it won't cause any problems later on. 
 
He had to drink out of a straw for a few days, but everything is almost back to normal now, 
except for his tooth, which he complains about once in a while. The dentist said it would probably hurt for awhile though. I'm just amazed at how fast it heals though.
 
This picture was taken less than 2 weeks after it happened. So much better!

So I actually have managed to make something in the past couple of months. 
A fall wreath! I don't have a picture of it actually on our front door, so this will have to do. 
Sadly, I think that's about the only thing I've been able to get done. One day I will get back into it. :(
