Pretty for Daycare!

I played dress up today with Madison before daycare. She looked so cute....even down to her black shoes with a bow.

All compliments of Grandma Susan.

Mark looks so tired...............another long night of getting up to find the desperatly needed paci!!! I think that pink paci is about in every picture we have!!!!

Pictures after daycare.........

When I picked Madison up today from daycare, Ruth said Madison had a little blow out!! She has been doing that all week! I guess it's because she is eating more, I don't know. But the best part is how Ruth set her home. We always put exrta outfits in her diaper bag. I guess today we packed jammies. She put her top back on over her jammies along with her socks! I don't understand it, but hey at least she was clean!! I had to take a picture!

I came across some pictures of Mark and I when we were babies.

I definatly see both of us in her! My eyes.............

My smile...................

Mark's forehead and nose...............

I thought this was a good picture that showed both of us in her.

She looks like a deer in headlights!!!

Daddy loving on her! Still looking like a deer in head lights!!

Madison feels the love......

Today Madison got a clean bill of health from Dr. Young! See ya later Kawasaki Syndrome!!!! Her ear is doing better too! I know Dr. Young thinks we are nuts, we have seen her three times in 8 days!!! We didn't feel so bad when she said she had been thinking of her as well.

She really is a caring doctor!

Madison had many visitors this weekend to help her get better!!

Grandpa Steve and Madison taking a nap......
Grandma Vickie was making us a delicious meal.......Thank you Grandma!

Visiting with Uncle Patrick and Aunt Sarah......


Taking another nap with Grandma Susan......

Gas to Edwardsville $20.00...
Driving 115 miles.... 1 hour and 45 minutes
A nap with Madison......Priceless!

Lindsey and Jason Hermann also came over to see Madison and I sadly forgot to take a picture with them. Lindsey is starting to show and I wish I had a picture of her with Madsion and her belly.......if only she would post a picture on her blog so everyone can see!!!!!! Mark and I think we know what they are having......we listened very closely to "she's" and " he's"!!!!!
Thank you to everyone who

thought about and prayed for Madison...........
It must have worked, she is back to her old self!!!!

Sickness Update and Birthday Wishes!!

Madison's fever did break this morning and is doing much better. I took her back to the doctor and it ends up she has an ear infection and we still can not rule out Kawasaki Syndrome!!! It is very slim she has it but the doctor just wants us to keep an eye on her. Mark said only 19 in 100,000 babies get it. What a week the poor girl has had!!!! Her fever is back tonight and her rash still persist on her face. We are hoping the antibiotics and tylenol start to kick in!!!

On a happier note.......

Happy 24th Birthday Uncle Josh!!!

This picture is of Josh and Madison when she was just born...................I don't have any updated pictures, I thought I did!! We need to get some new pictures taken Josh!!!

Being Sick Stinks.....

Today Madison turned 3 months old!! I can't believe how time has flown. Unfortunately she also sick. The poor thing has had a temperature since Wednesday morning. On Wednesday the high was 102 degrees, today 101.3 and tonight 101.8. She has a rash on her face and belly, but it is looking a little better. Her rash looks as if she laid in the tanning bed with goggles on! The Doctor thinks it is a viral infection. If her temperature is not down by tomorrow I am taking her back to the Dr. She looks so sad in the picture with her cold wash cloth on her head.

I think this sickness has been just as hard on Mark. He is the biggest worrier I know. He does enough worrying for the both of us!!!! I know Madison is going to be a Daddy's Girl!!!!

What history we all witnessed today!!! Obama Baby!!

Happy Inauguration Day!!!! I was sadly at work and missed the inauguration, but got to hear bits and pieces on XM. I truly believe that Obama will make a difference in our country!! He has inspired me and made me excited for the future of our country!!! I ordered an Obama onesie for Madison, but of course it did not make it on time. I can't wait to post pictures of her in it!!

Today is Grandma Vickie's birthday!!!!!

Happy Birthday Grandma Vickie!!!

I got to stay at home last Wednesday with Madison and took this picture. I love it.
I put it on my desk at work. The girls at my office love it too. I think she's just precious....I might be a little bias!!!!

Lazy Sundays are the Best

Today Mark and I took Madison to church........I know, I can't believe it myself. We joined St. Boniface here in Edwardsville. Madison is getting baptised on Feb. the 7th, and we thought we should start making some appearances!!!!!!!!

Fun after church.............she had lots of energy after that long nap!!!!!!!!!!!

Isn't her dress cute!! Thanks Micah and Nick!!!!!!!!!!!

Madison watched football with Mark all day and we had to dress accordingly!!

My first post.....still learning!!!

This is my first post, obviously!!! I am still learning how to do all the neat backgrounds and pictures. I was inspired to start blogging when I came across Kelly Richardson's blog. I want to blog Madison's life so she can look at it later down the road. Sorry I missed the first three months!!!
