Madison has had a very busy schedule. On top of growing, learning new things, eating new foods, napping, laughing, and jabbering she has found time to enjoy the National Zoo.

She has also learned how to clap. This is something she likes to do a lot, and takes this skill very seriously.

She is a frequent park visitor, and has a special spot in her heart for the swing, and for those wood chips she is constantly putting in her mouth.

What is it about kids in winter clothes? Even though it's like 80 degrees outside I couldn't pass it up!

 She also went to her friends birthday party.  I love how they all gathered around while she got ready to eat her very own cake!

 She has also been having a love for stuffed animals.  She likes to go up to them and tackle them. Its super cute.

Say Cheese!!!

Shenandoah Valley

This weekend we very last minute decided to go to Shenandoah.  It's something we have been told is a must see around here, but just haven't gone. It was really beautiful and fun to get away.  There is the skyline drive which was amazing, but our camera died.

 

 On our family friendly hike

Our friends Mike and Mira were able to come as well. It was fun to have them come along.

Sweet little Madi is growing up on us way too fast!

 

Well, Bryan has started on the ICU for the next 2 months, and my schooling has started so things have gotten a little crazy around here again.  We will be happy to get through this little patch!
