The year is flying by! Madeline has been such a joy! She really teaches us to slow down and enjoy life...I am still learning not to get too stressed out!! Maddie had her 2nd birthday in October and enjoyed the Halloween themed party with her cousins. Throughout the year we have been pretty active: Greenfield Village, The Henry Ford Museum, the Detroit Zoo, Domino Farms, Missouri for Aunt Amy's wedding, NYC, moving Aunt Emily into her college dorm, Detroit Science Center, Chelsea Teddy Bear Factory with Biempa, etc, etc.
We also are proud of my brother, Jeremy. He recently enlisted in the Navy. Maddie adores her Uncle Jeremy (he has watched her for 2 days during the week since she was one and half months old!) and will be sad to not spend as much time with him but we are planning many visits!!!
Thanksgiving and Christmas are quickly approaching and we are starting to get the house ready (if it were just up to me, the tree would already be up!). Madeline will be visiting Santa at The Henry Ford Museum for the tree lighting ceremony with me and Mia (my mom). Maddie LOVES "Ho Ho."
