Finally a blog update.  You're welcome Tee!  I have a few life update posts to come, but for now, I'll give y'all a summary of our fall break trip.  Both kids had last week off for a short break from school.  We decided awhile back to use this time to visit Tim's sisters in Washington D.C. and Baltimore, Maryland.

It took us about 9 hrs to get there.  The kids did pretty well in the car.  Thanks to the DVD player, leap pad, coloring, car games and snacks.

Ready to roll!

 Cracker Barrel for lunch

Madelyn: 5 1/2 Years Old

Madelyn girl,

Today you are 5 1/2 years old!  You woke up this morning so excited knowing you're a little bit older.  Then reminded us you are close to being 6.  Oh girly, stop growing kid.

Tonight we had cookie cake for your half birthday party.  You loved it!

You weigh 40 lbs and are 42.5 in tall

Wearing size 5t tops, pants and dresses.  Size 10/11 in shoes.  Your favorite clothes are still dresses, skirts and cute shoes.

Your favorite foods are pizza, mac and cheese, fruit, noodles and cheese, carrots and desserts of any kind.

Going down at night around 7 and wake up in the morning at 7 to get ready for Kindergarten.  You sometimes lay down for a rest on Wednesdays after school, before Team Kid and also on Saturdays and Sundays.

Started kindergarten about a month ago and enjoy it so so much!  Your favorite parts are recess and lunch time.  Your teacher says you soak things in like a sponge and want to continually learn everything she throws at you.  We're so proud of you baby girl.

Some of your favorite activities are dancing, swimming, bike riding, soccer, jumping on the trampoline, eating, playing with your brother, coloring and watching shows.

Still taking ballet and tap and are such a little performer.  You also started soccer a few weeks ago.  You and Theo get to play on the same team which you both are loving.

We are so in love with you sweet pea.  Happy half birthday!
