Waiting...

Antaun, Madison and I went to St. Louis last week for Antaun's second interview with Young Life. It went really well, the people were so sweet and welcoming. The committee is trying to decide between Antaun and another guy so we should hear something this week on the decision. We are excited because we really don't have anything to lose and if the Lord wants us to go through this door it will open and if not then it won't. I am praying through some desires I have to NOT raise our family in the city. Antaun would be working with an inner city school in South St. Louis and they want this person to live in the community. I am just asking the Lord for peace about where we live, I feel excited for Antaun about the position, I am just uneasy about living the city life with kids! So we will see what happens and I will keep you all posted!!

Our Litte Book Worm

Madison LOVES books! It cracks us up, she will sit and act like she is reading to us. Her newest thing is sleeping with her books. No, Maddie doesn't want her blanket or teddybear, she cuddles up to her book and I don't dare try and get it from her. The other night she sat straight up in bed, in the dark and started turing the pages!!!!! It was hilarious! I love it!

Fun with Lainey...

Maddie and I got to babysit Lainey Grace tonight while her mommy and daddy went to a Royals game. We had a great time, Lainey was so sweet. It was so neat to watch Maddie try her hardest to be as gentle as she could be. Hmmm, kinda made me want another one....

Babies in PJ's, nothin' cuter!!

Summer Days...

I love chips (especially cheetos)

Giving PaPa some love...

Mommy's Girl,

(Madison reminds me of Antaun in this picture...)

Brown Eyed Girl- Look at those lashes...

Oh, how fun, I'm playing in the water...

Oh, no not in the face...

I don't think I like this anymore...!!

Fun with Family!

We have been spending a lot time doing fun with things with the girls before Chad and Jennifer move the end of this month. It's been a lot of fun. We took them swimming the other day and to Chuck E. Cheese today. Maddie just loves Julianna (nana) Ava (aya) and Lainey (lanaa). They have a lot of fun together and we are really going to miss the Morton family when they leave. It's too sad to think about!!
Uncle Seth and Maddie all smiles.

Seth is just so handsome!!!

Antaun impressing us at Chuck E. Cheese's with his incredible strength!!What a wonderful husband I have. I am so thankful the Lord allows him to be home during the day so he can spend a lot of time with Maddie and I!

Beautiful Madison

What a beautiful smile. Maddie is now 17 months, I can't believe it. She is so much fun, has TONS of energy and we just love her so much!! Her newest thing is putting her hand up and saying hi, she has a Texas twang, it's really cute. She also says YAAAYY for everything she gets excited about. She loves pips (chips) although we try to save those for special occasions, ((or when mommy wants to be able to do something and have her occupied!)) She loves to nod her head yes and no and loves to say uh-huh.

She is very talkative and will try to say about any word you ask her to. I love to watch her learn. She is also a big Barney and Backyardigans fan, Uniqua a favorite!!!

She has such a sweet spirit and gives the best hugs, especially when she is in trouble!! Although you will see her onery side in this next picture....

What a blessing!!!

Ready for Summer

We are ready for some summer fun!

I am so looking forward to summer with her at this age.

Madison loves the water, the sun, swinging, anything outside!

SOOO much fun.

We are so blessed!

Fun at the Park

TWO YEARS & GOING STRONG!!!

WEEEEE!!

I LOVE MY DADDY!

15 months

Madison is now officially singing at 15 months!!!!!! I'll say Maddie can you sing? And she goes ahh,ahh,awawhaaahhh, in all different keys! It is the cutest. She is quite the dancer and loves to praise the Lord, We'll say Maa-Maa can you praise the Lord, and she raises her hands in the air. What a blessing!
