we're still here!

It would be fair to say that the lack of blogging is directly related to the arrival of Madeline. However, we are all doing very well and we are thankful for that! Believe it or not, Madeline is already 6 weeks old and changing every day. I can remember how long I was counting down the days until she arrived and now she is here and growing so fast! When she first came home she had to wear "premie" clothes and now she is comfortably in the 3 month size. The newborn diapers were too big but are now small and snug. How wonderful to watch her thrive! We will be traveling to Indiana the end of the month to show off Madeline to my family members who could not make it to Texas. The drive may be a real experience but we are happy to introduce Maddie to her great-grandparents and friends from church who have known me since I was Maddie's size. We are truly counting our blessings.

  1. I think the trip will be fine. Just plan to add more stops than you'd take if it were just you and Gil. I drove what normally would be a 9-hour trip w/ w/ Lydia when she was 3 weeks old and it took nearly 12 hours. :p

  3. Gil wants to go in one day-- I begged to stop and stay overnight half way through since without stopping it is already 16 hours.

  4. Maddie is getting so big!
    Hope the trip goes well. That will be fun to visit all of your family and friends. Maybe Gil will change his mind about driving straight through once you've had to stop a few times to feed and change diapers. :)
