Madi plays! Happy St. Valentine's day!

I know I am her grandmother. I know I am so prejudice. I know.
But Geesh, this girl is cute!


Happy Monday to all of you. May your week be full of wonderful surprises and blessings.
May all of your hearts be filled with Valentine's like this.
Happy Birthday, Howard. I love you very much.

My sweet little Madi is One

I have been away, Happy Daylight Saving Time and Monday!

 I have been cooking and helping with Madi's 1 st birthday party.

There were 15 toddlers, 25 parents, cousins, grandmas, grandpa, aunts and uncles.

The noise was high, the chasing continuous, the eating non-stop, balloons and helium fun (that was the parents), laughter (lots of that), cake (a special cake for the Birthday girl, made by her Great Aunt J), poopy diapers, spilled food, pizza, bottles, pictures, toys, clothes, and Oh the dishes!

It has been a crazy year. This little girl came in to our lives in March, she was and is all that is good in life.

She taught us how to be happy again.

She helped us remember our girls being young.

She brought us all together as a family again.

She is sunshine on cloudy days.

She likes to have fun!

She has a sense of freshness that she shares with all of us.

She is a little girl with big dreams and we love her.

Happy Birthday Madi, we love you so much!

Happy Anniversary Darling

Happy Anniversary Howard!

Damn that is a long time.

It has been very interesting and I am never bored.

Thank you for sharing your life with me even when I am a bitch.

I am sorry if I have ever hurt your heart.

You are a dear dear friend as well as a wonderful husband, father, and grandfather.

I don't think that I could ever be as mad as I get at you, if I did not love you as much as I do.

Here is to 31 more.

I love you!

Many faces of Madi...

This is what has been keeping me busy lately!

Too cool for school

Can you tell this child is seriously concerned for her mother?
