A much better morning!

Before school this morning
20.5 weeks pregnant
Hmm, this looks like fun...
Oh, here we go!

Grammy and Madison

Happy to be home again, but we miss Portland.

Madison had a much better morning and was much happier to go to school today. :)

She has done really well the past two days and has received good reports from her teachers. She was a little clingy at first when I dropped her off, but quickly ran off to play. She cried yesterday before we left the house, but has never (yet!) cried in the classroom. The teacher said her favorite enjoyment is playing outside on the playground. However, we need to watch her "bark eating" hobby. haha. She colored a beautiful picture today of a butterfly with new triangular shaped crayons. The teachers even laminated it for us! But she did enjoy eating an orange crayon, too. So, we know she likes to put things in her mouth... We really like her teachers. I just really wish Madison could go to my Mom's school in Portland, OR. It is amazing and really hard not to compare other schools to it.

Some new things she's done lately...
1. A few new words of hers include "duck" and "dog".

2. She is currently getting in FIVE new teeth! I am not kidding. They are coming in at different stages, of course. She has a total of four on the bottom, and almost six or seven on the top.

3. She tries to "run".

4. We can put her hair in pig tails

5. She tries to "read" books aloud

6. She cries when you bring her inside after playing outside. She would be perfectly happy outdoors, always.

Sarah and Madison are having a great time together. It's really special Sarah can be here. She hasn't seen Madison since the first of February, so they're making up for it!

Mark has been quite busy and his office quite hectic as everyone is preparing for yet another hurricane. We possibly will need to evacuate tomorrow. Two hurricanes in two weeks. Again, Mark gets relocated to Dallas for work, to continue the business. So, Madison, Tyson (cat), and I will go, too. We'll make a decision about Sarah's flight tomorrow...she's originally scheduled to leave on Saturday, so we may need to change that.
