FriDAy FUn!!!

Over the last few months, Madelyn and I have been going to a Friday morning play-group.  My friend Lindsey invited some young mothers over with their little ones and it has been great fun talking with other new moms about the different excitements and challenges we are all facing. 

 It has been a huge blessing for me to be able to turn to Godly women who are learning what it truly means to die to yourself everyday and surrender to the Lord, having a little one brings you a little closer to understanding the love that our Father has for us!
   
The little kiddos range from 3-months to 3-years old.  With the weather getting nicer here in Seattle, we walked to a nearby park this past Friday morning.

I love the Cherry Blossoms all over Seattle in the spring! 
(that's one good thing about all the rain, right?!!)
Moms ~ Melissa, Justyn, Steph, Me (missing-Lindsey, Ashley, Gretchen)

Who's missing out on all this fun??

And...she's awake!
What a cool swing!!
I don't know if I've ever seen a little one so disgusted with sand!  Don't all kids love to eat it??? Hah...not our little girl :)









pigtails!!

Madelyn's hair is getting longer and more crazy every day.  I recently tried pigtails in her hair and couldn't resist posting a few shots ~ what a big girl she looks like!

"Yaaay for me!" 
"Ummm, who put me in this stuff...gross!"


"I love pulling everything out of my drawers... and then not putting anything back :) "
