Where has the time gone?


I really wish I was better at blogging! It is so hard for me to remember to do it and my pictures aren't loaded onto my laptop, so that makes it harder!

Caroline turned 1 in December and is a riot! She is so different from Madelyn and we love her personality. She is quite the climber and loves adventure, which is nothing like Madelyn. Caroline is into everything and I really can't turn my head from her. She's already climbed the stairs alone, turned over Madelyn's nightstand (thank goodness she wasn't hurt), and many more things. She says several words, but the one that steals my heart is "Mama". She loves to play with Madelyn and pull her hair, which we are working on that :). She is a great sleeper and even better napper than her big sis.

Madelyn turns 4 in a couple of weeks and we'll celebrate by having a bowling party! We also registered her for the 4 year old/transition class for next year and she'll go 5 days. She is a smart gal and is starting to show interest in reading skills. She is very curious about beginning/ending sounds, which as a teacher I love :)!! She can make rhyming words and is starting to sound out simple 3 letter words. She writes her name, although she'd rather not, but she can do it! She loves to play her favorite Wii game, Mario Kart. The girl beats me!

She loves playing with Caroline and is anxious to go in her room in the mornings. They both love when Danny gets home at night from work.

We stay busy during the week by going to playdates, lunch with friends, especially Claire, and Madelyn going to preschool. Madelyn is still in dance (ballet/tap) and will be in her first recital in June! I hear she is wearing a monkey leotard...hmmm???

Madelyn loves the Wii!

Sweet Caroline

A little bit about the life of us...
