Finally, I have a picture to post of Madison's new dog, Milo. She named him. He is a Westie (West Highland White Terrier). He needs brushed but I thought I should just take a picture so I could post it. He is getting better......hardly barks now. But, that wasn't the case at first. But, he is fun. Madison loves to throw tennis balls because he will fetch them and bring them back to her. He will fetch whatever you throw for him. Anyway, he is a cute and fun dog. Madison's Aunt Jarrett found him for her.
Our little witch... This is the best photo up close that I got of Maddie. It is hard not to get blurry pictures because the girls are moving so fast. Plus, the two way mirrors affect the outcome of the photos. Anyway, she picked out her Halloween costume but today she didn't want to wear her black wig or her witch hat.
Today at dance class the girls were able to wear their Halloween costumes and they performed their Halloween dance for the parents. Too cute!!
Today Madison went on her first field trip ever. She had to take an old pillowcase to preschool today and arrive early to get on the bus. She was so very excited. She was up this morning before anyone..and all the lights in the house were on. Talk about excited. Anyway, they went to Cuff's and she was able to pick out a pumpkin to bring home along with 2 tiny gourds, a tiny pumpkin, and 2 ears of corn. She had a blast and the teacher had to comment on how excited she was...we were not sure if she was more excited about the field trip or just riding the school bus. :o)
Today Madison had her 4 year checkup.
Here are her stats: 39 inches & 31 lbs. She is petite!
She knew she would be getting the flu shot but both mommy and Maddie were surprised when she had to have a prevnar too. They informed mommy that Maddie was behind on the prevnar (should have had 4 by now and only had 3). So, at the end of the appointment she had a shot in both legs. Oh, and did she cry. I was surprised (that she cried so much). Mommy felt so badly. However, mommy was given the flu shot too..right before Maddie had her shots. Maddie picked mommy to go first. It was a good thing too because mommy had to carry Maddie to the car. The stickers that she received were long forgotten once she had the shots.
All in all, the appointment was good. Her doctor and the nurses were amazed by her vocabulary. She also passed all the tests that they gave her. And she had everyone laughing.....well..until the end. Well, at least she is good for another year.
I had my second prenatal appointment today. I figured that the appointment would be pretty uneventful. I am not quite 11 weeks...My doctor told me that it would be hit or miss with the heartbeat. First we heard my heartbeat.......and my heartbeat.......and my heartbeat still. However, my doctor did find the baby's heartbeat. My doctor said I was lucky and that I should go buy a lottery ticket. It is hard to detect so early unless you have an ultrasound done. He said that since I am pretty slender (thanks doc!) that we might get lucky. No...I did not go buy a lottery ticket. :o) I was pretty happy...but Madison was not since she wasn't able to go....no fair is what she told me. ;o) I told her she could go soon enough. My next appointment is November 19th (a Monday and the only day that week my doctor is in the office). At that time blood work will be done. And...my doctor said that he will give me an ultrasound at 18 weeks. :o) I can hardly wait!
A cute family photo...
We all picked out a pumpkin...and Madison had to get her puppy a pumpkin too........it is the one she is holding. :o)
We went to the Little Farmer on Saturday. Madison loves The Little Farmer. We took lots of photos....We asked our neighbors to go with us. Our neighbors little girl is 6 months old. (Her grandmother is Madison's sitter). It was a great day! The weather was so nice..people were wearing shorts.
Friday was the official first girls night out for the women of Glen Valley subdivision.
Seven of us met at 6:10pm or later at Jonathon's Italian Bistro (Jen, Kim, Abbi, Debbie, Dione, Lisa, and Melanie). We were there until around 10:00pm or so. We all had a great time. Needless to say, we were definitely not fans of the service. Very poor! One of our meals was brought out with marinara sauce when linguini sauce was specified and even after the waitress doubled checked the order. She took it back to the kitchen and brought it back with linguini sauce. However, the marinara sauce had been scraped off and the other sauce added in its place. We could not believe that this had happened. The worst part being.....the person that this happened to was already having a bad day as she had just heard the news that someone she grew up next to was found dead in Greenville. So, this just topped it all off.
It was a very nice evening and everyone did enjoy the night out and some were able to forget things for at least a few hours.
We plan to get together once a month...dinner, movie, attend a play, or maybe pottery........it doesn't matter...just to get together and have a good time.
