Life here is good. May was a busy month for us and I just realized I didn't take the time to post anything! Time for an update :)
We were happy to have my parents close by last month, they were able to spend sometime in the area with their new 5th wheel. My sister Rachel also came out for a long weekend, then Ryan and I celebrated our anniversary by blowing $20 on penny slots at the CDA casino... LOL. We had a good time!
We've been working on finishing odds and ends around the house as we are preparing to put it on the market. We think that selling the house after all the updates we've made would be a smart financial decision, hoping that after all is said and done, we will be able to pay off student loans. Even as I type, Ryan is installing new light fixtures in the upstairs bedrooms. He works so hard to provide for Madilyn and I... We're two lucky girls!
I'm still at home taking care of my sweet babe. I spend my days taking care of her and the household chores and everything else that comes with being a stay at home mom. Obviously the most consuming job of my life, but I love it so it doesn't feel like work! And its definitely getting easier the older she gets :) Like today, she decided for the first time ever that she was going to fall asleep on her playmat - didn't get fussy when she was tired, didn't need to be rocked or held - just fell asleep right there on the floor, TWICE. Its a MIRACLE:
Maddie is growing so much and changing every day.
Anytime she learns something new, Ryan likes to say she is "advanced" or
a "child prodigy"... ha! He's a proud daddy. Shes started eating a few types of baby food, is babbling all the time, really playing with her toys, SPITTING ON PURPOSE, loves bathtime, chewing/licking everything in sight and can almost get her pacifier back in her mouth by herself! She getting stronger and very stable so I wouldn't be surprised if she is sitting within the next month or so. She also has become so against naps, shes taken to punching herself in the head/face in order to stay awake.
She's full on Crazy.
As for upcoming events... we don't have much planned for Summer, but I saw this article recently: http://www.theluxuryspot.com/five-facts-about-flathead-lake-montana/
And now I'm hoping we can make it over to Montana for a weekend trip!
I suppose thats all that is new with us for now... So here's the latest...
