Fun with Ninnie & Buddy

Sorry for the lack of blogging, my parents were in town for a week and a half and we just had to much fun with each other and so much to do. Maddie had a blast hanging out with them everyday and was spoiled with multiple walks to the park everyday.


My dad was especially thrilled and how quickly she warmed up to him. She still has an issue with most men, including my brother (sorry Paul) but she was almost instantly okay with hanging out with her Buddy. This was a favorite pastime of theirs during the visit.


Ninnie and Buddy also brought a toddler bed with them for Maddie's "big girl room." We aren't moving her yet but I have started putting the room together and the bed is going to be perfect for when she's ready.


This previous Saturday my parents actually left Chicago with Maddie in tow! She will be gone until Sunday and it feels so strange to not have her here with us. We have gotten a ton of stuff done around the house though that would have taken us so much longer if she was here.

We got to skype with her tonight and her face when she first saw us on the screen almost made me cry! Tomorrow I am heading out of town on a girls trip to the beach (woot, woot!) and then will meet my parents in Atlanta on Sunday to pick Maddie up for the flight home. I can't wait to see her again but am also so excited about my trip. Not sure what Alex will do by himself for the next few days but I will make sure the fridge is stocked with frozen pizza for him! Until we see her on Sunday I just keep staring at all her pictures like this one which is a new favorite of mine.
