Brent and the older 3 kids picked her up at the airport and Maddie and I met them at Macaroni grill for dinner. It was an hour and half wait for a table for 6 so we cozied up at a table for 4! We enjoyed our dinner and then headed home for bed.
Sunday was a great day worshipping with our family at Living Hope. It is always such a blessing to be there. Sunday night we started a new study in our small group called Balanced (by Andy Stanley). I'm looking forward to seeing what he has to share about balancing your finances based on God's word.
Today, the girls had school so I asked Miles what we should do with Nellie. He suggested we take her to Target because she might want a new toy and a cherry icey! Hmmm, wonder who wants a new toy and cherry icey! So, we got dressed, met Brent for lunch at White Castle (Janelle's choice) and then headed to Target where Miles got his icey and a few little things.
Maddie has been really fussy these past few days, so I took her to the dr this afternoon to make sure her ear infections had cleared up. She weighed 12 pounds 11 ounces. What a big girl! She had a great doctor's visit and he could not find anything wrong. Which is a great blessing! So, basically, my sweet baby girl is spoiled! I'm going to work on that! :) Tonight Maddie tried cereal for the first time. I don't think she cared for it much. She cried and kept spitting it out. I guess we will try again tomorrow. Here are a few pics of Maddie trying to eat her cereal!
I decided that I was going to work on getting her to go to sleep on her own in her own bed. I got her ready for bed, put her pacifier in, and put her in her bed. She cried for a few minutes, a few different times, but I kept putting her pacifier in her mouth. She went to sleep on her own!!!! Yay, Maddie! Hopefully, she will get some good sleep.
Today was beautiful day outside and we are predicted to have another one tomorrow. We are going to the zoo and chick-fil-a for lunch.
Here are a few more pictures from the past few days...
