Random

So, here are some bits and pieces from the last few weeks. 

Jeremy's flowers are doing awesome this year.  I took this picture because I thought it was cool that in the middle of all the white blooms some pink ones showed up.  Neat. 

I am finally having some time to do some pleasure reading (when naps go according to plan).  I finished a book called The Knitting Circle by Ann Hood.  I had read a different knitting book - Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs - and enjoyed it, but I think this one was better.  I am not a knitter, so I think it strange that I enjoy these books.  It actually makes me want to knit.  (I am sure, Emmy, that you are shaking your head after so many attempts during MVS!)  We'll see if I ever actually attempt it.

Here is a random picture from the other day of Madison.  I think I was trying to get a picture of her teeth - it did not work, but it is a cute picture.

Madison has started eating solids.  We had attempted it and then quit because she was having none of it.  I have learned that she does not like plain cereal, but loves pears and sweet potatoes mixed with cereal.  She also enjoys sucking the life out of a piece of watermelon!  So here she is after breakfast of pears and oatmeal this morning with her banana toothbrush.  Now that she has TWO teeth peeking through her gums, we need to brush those teeth!

Finally, we were able to go home to celebrate Father's Day with both of our dads which was nice.  Jeremy got a card from Madison.  She "signed" it by chewing all over it - she loves eating paper!  We went to a gathering at Jeremy's grandpa's house.  It was good to see cousins and aunts and uncles again.  It has been since Easter since we've seen them.  Time flies!  Jeremy went golfing with his dad after the meal; I think it was an enjoyable time for both of them.  I went to my parents' house while he golfed.  Madison had very few naps of anything more than 45 minutes.  She came home and slept all night long and had a great morning nap.
