Ha-key.

Wenatchee Wild. (hard to believe Wenatchee has a semi pro hockey team) The bank handed out free tickets and of course we were more than happy to venture out. Madelyn stared at the ceiling then fell asleep.. It amazes me how little ones can do that.

Trees, leaves, and bottles?!

Yesterday, for Madelyn's 1/2 birthday:), we took her hiking. She really LOVES being outside. And we really enjoyed the time as a family as well.

Madelyn's 6 Months old!

At Mad's six month appointment she weighed 15.3 pounds, and was 27 inches long! (30percentile weight/ 90percentile length).. She might be tall like her papa?! Her doctor, Darcy Jeffrey, said she's doing great and very energetic for six months.. uh oh ;)

Our little "baby peach"

in training.. to run over that papa.. or should i say 'waluigi'?!!

Papa has been teaching Madelyn to sit up. She's been doing really well, and only crashes when she lurches sideways to grab something of interest:) I can definitely see a desire in her to be more mobile.. sometimes she stares so intently at things that I swear she's trying to teleport herself over to them. We can hardly believe she'll be six months on Saturday!

grey skies and hoodies.

What is it about the skies turning grey that makes us pause.. reminds us to slow down?

Maybe it's because we want to soak up the last of a season or maybe we're ready for a new season to begin... or possibly, we've just been waiting for an excuse to call in sick, drink coffee and contemplate life. For me the grey skies allow time to catch up on chores that seem all to quickly to accumulate these days.. And of course, my favorite part, cozying up with ryan and madelyn in my favorite hoodie. (it's a pretty good excuse to play mariokart too:)

Shades of pink.

Mad's laundry.
