Our little Miss Maddy is 6 months old today...I just can't believe it! We have been having so much fun this past half year with her in our lives that time has just flown by. She has changed so much in such a short period of time, its amazing. She really has been an awesome baby and has brought so much love and joy to our family.
This week has been crazy for us trying to get ready for the holidays. Grandma Simone left on Thursday, which was really hard on us seeing her go. We had so much fun having her around and she was such a big help. Maddy may not remember this time with Grandma but we surely will and we will continuously share stories with her about how special it was having Grandma here. My mom will be missed by us, the friends she made at Curves, and the local businesses for her constant consumer support. :)
Yesterday we left to start our journey home for the holidays. We went under Lake Michigan through Chicago to stay in Fond du Lac with my sister and family for the night so that we could get Maddy's six month pictures taken at Tricia's studio in DePere. We woke up early today so that we could fit everything that we wanted to in. First, we went up to Kimberly to spend a few hours with the VanCamps. Cory made us a great breakfast while Casey and I visited and the girls played. Ava is really doing great; Casey and Cory are too now that she is off the monitor. She is getting big for a premie...
although when you put Maddy next to her she looks tiny.
The girls really seemed to not only acknowledge each other, but actually seemed to interact and make friends.
After our visit with them, we headed up to DePere for Maddy's six month pictures. My friend Tricia Dewar, works at Turba Photography and is an amazing photographer. We have been lucky to have her photograph Maddy. Pictures went pretty good although Maddy was a bit stubborn at times. Tricia's son, Jack, was there too (he was born 3 weeks after Maddy) so the two of them got some pictures together. I will post the pictures when I get them. We then went back to the Dewar house since we haven't been there yet and waited for Pete to get home from work. Then we all drove up north together. It was a great way to spend Maddy's half year birthday. When we got home we took a few quick pictures for her month-by-month album, but only one turned out.
So I've included another one of our favorites from the day.

This is so great Jaclynn. I love reading through it. And I love the pictures! It is so great you do this. What a wonderful diary for her. Can you then put this on a CD to keep for her?
As long as we still have the internet she should be able to access it. I will probably print out hard copies of each page at some point just in case.
