The best plan I never made...

Dave and I on our 1st anniversary.
5 years ago!

Five years ago tomorrow Dave and I were married. It was an absolutely perfect day and it's so hard to believe that it's been that long already. When we got married, we had a "plan." It started as a five year plan which included both of us working and focusing on our careers so we could save up some money before we had kids. Well, our plan got off track pretty early on when we found out we were expecting Madisyn in early January of 2006. Our 5 year plan had quickly turned in to a 5 month plan. We couldn't have been happier that our "plan" didn't quite go as expected. Now here we are, at the 5 year mark and our lives look nothing like our "plan," it's even better than we could've ever imagined. We are very much in love, we have the two most amazing daughters and a beautiful home; we simply couldn't have planned it better. Happy Anniversary to my wonderful husband, I love you!

6 Month Stats

Madisyn at 6 monthsGrace at 6 months
Today we took Grace in for her 6 month check up. She now weighs 18 lbs. 4oz (Madi was 22 lbs. 13 oz.) and is 27 3/4 inches long (Madi was 27). I can't believe how fast my baby is growing. She had 3 shots today along with one oral immunization and she was a champ. She is tired today and won't take a bottle but she, along with big sis and I, is fighting a yucky summer cold:(

Thankful

Today (just as every other day) we are very thankful for these two very special people, Grandpa & Grandma Reed. Today we are especially thankful that Grandpa is feeling better & got a clean bill of health after a long any scary night last night. We are also extremely thankful that Grandma got some good news regarding her health; if you don't believe in miracles come & let me introduce you to her, she is a walking one. Also, happy 6 month birthday to our sweet little Grace; she doesn't go to the Dr. until the 28th so I will post her stats then!

Busy Little Baby

This is what I found when I went to get Grace out of her crib this morning. Yes, that is a cute little naked baby butt sticking out. She had somehow managed to wiggle that cute little butt right out of her diaper. As side note she refuses to keep her eyes open for any pictures so this was the best of the bunch:) Have a great weekend!

Nap time antics...

Like I said before, we really do feed the girl!
This is how I found Grace after her nap today.

My little ladies, watching cartoons together:)

What have we been up to...

A little rolling, okay, ALOT of rolling...all over the house. Went in the kitchen the other day and came back into the living room to find Grace chewing on the leg of the coffee table-we really do feed the child.

A little napping-Dave will kill me for this one but it's too cute:)
A little treat eating

Another Breakfast on the Farm (I just realized it looks like Madi peed her pants here, I promise she didn't)

and...Some fireworks on the 4th (actually the 3rd) with Doug and Sarah

Has it really been almost a month since I last updated this? I guess there is not alot of excitement lately, just two totally adorable little girls but that's nothing new. I am enjoying my new job very much, I LOVE having more time at home and am feeling much less stress. Grace is growing about as fast as our grass has been lately with all the humidity and rain we've been getting-seems as though the weather has the same effect on her:) Madi is as busy as busy can be and is trying to decide on what type of birthday she'd like to have; so far she's come up with Barbie, Teddy Bear, Ocean and today "Beach," she wants to take everyone to the beach! We went to Toy Story 3 the other day, super cute movie and we'd like to go to the Milwaukee Zoo and a Brewer's game before the summer gets away from us, so much to do and so little time!
