February, 2023

We found a few things to do this month! Madison celebrated her first Valentine's Day, her first Ash Wednesday and was also baptized in a beautiful ceremony! We kept her overnight one night, she's trying new food - some she likes and some she doesn't - we visited her house, she visited ours and we have both thoroughly enjoyed being grandparents!! So thankful they're close enough that she'll know us. Natalee is on her high school's newly formed, first ever bowling team and we were able to make one of her meets. It was a great month!
Trying on the outfit Margaret Ann made for her!
Didn't care for the applesauce!
Daddy made it all better.
She does not like to be cleaned up!!
Love the full moon over Caddo Lake!
Go Natalee!! Their team is pretty good for a first time league!
Not a fan of him getting up on the roof anymore but things have to be fixed.
I pray the Lord will watch over and protect this baby all the days of her life.
Madison just loves her puppy Olive!!

Hello, 2023! January happenings...

 Starting off the year right, posting January in June but it looks like that's just the way I blog so no more mentions of being late posting...I'm right on time for me!! And I'm also always posting pics a bit mixed up, but again, that's just my style so no more mentions about that, either...😁

Since all of our Christmas things got canceled, we had our celebration mid-January when everyone was well. And our Sunday-after-church-visits resumed with Madison and her mom and dad, too! Her baptism date was set, gifts bought and Grace fixed up the family heirloom dress for Madison and was it ever gorgeous!! 


She's just beautiful in this beautiful dress!




LOVE this baby!!

We think she looks a little bit like her dad...

I had been having trouble with my right arm/shoulder. Pain in the upper arm causing numbness in my thumb and forefinger so I decided to try acupuncture. It was awesome! After the first treatment, the pain was completely gone - I would never have believed it if I hadn't done it. There was still a little numbness in my thumb so I did go back for one more treatment and that was it. She had needles stuck in me from head to toe!

Starting to play with toys!






After my first acupuncture treatment, we went to Marilyn's Place and used one of our gift cards. Cool place, good atmosphere and the food was really tasty!


Her little baby hands...😍



We babysat while Daniel and Sophia went to dinner for their first anniversary!

Holding Grandpa's baby rattle! Kenneth used it as a baby and so did Daniel and Katie.
