*Cousins

Recently I have reconnected with my father's brother, Chris. I haven't had much interaction with this uncle since my father was killed in 1984. It has been really great getting to know my uncle, and my dad (through my uncles eyes/memories). Anyway, Drea and her little boy Jake were up from CA for the month. Uncle Chris texted me one evening and asked if we could go to lunch today. It was really fun to see everyone. Drea's little boy just turned one and Chris' daughter-in-law has a one year old as well. It was fun to see them all together, and Uncle Chris is so cute with all of them! I would really like to get to know this side of the family! Hopefully at Christmas we will all be able to get together again! Anyway..just thought I would add this picture.

*Ten Months and counting....

Where has the time gone? My sweet little Madison is getting so big! It is so fun to watch her grow. I love her sweet little personality. She has such a fun little laugh and smile. I love being her mom. She is still very much a mommy's girl, but she loves her daddy to! She get so excited when Brice gets home. If he doesn't immediately hold, kiss and acknowledge her she gets upset. She is so curious about everything! She is going to start walking any minute now. She has a two more teeth that are coming in for a total of six. She loves to be awake and can hardly slow down for a nap. She gets her stubborness from both her father and I so we are really in for a wild ride! She is very determined already! She has out grown my little home make-shift photo studio so now I have to find new places for her pictures. I have so much fun being her mom! Here are just a few of my favorite pictures from our photoshoot! It was fun and she is such an easy model to photograph!
