Over a week

It has been a long time, and yet, I hardly know what happened.

• My parents came Monday night to spend their Tuesday with Madison - who was completely spoiled by all the attention!
• On Wednesday, we went to get professional pictures of our little 9 month old at Target. Despite working on her second top tooth and fighting a cold, we got a few good pictures. We got a few pretty funny ones too. We only bought a family picture and a sheet of wallets of another. That's really all we need. She is usually well photographed - although we have been slacking off lately, which is why there are no pics on this blog ... again!
• Thursday night I had parent teacher conferences, so Jeremy did it all after school. His job would have been easier had I remembered to leave the car seat at the sitters, but I didn't. Soooo, he had to backtrack a bit to the high school before heading to the sitters. I was frustrated with myself, but it happens.
• Saturday, we took Madison to her first party. A little girl from our small group, Lilah, turned one and had a party. We forgot our camera, so I'll have to get someone to email me pics so I can post some. The kids at the party were all pretty cute. Madison played with the balloons with with the birthday girl. And took a little boy's sports rattle from him ... he's younger by a few months, so he couldn't do anything about it. Hopefully, this is not an indication of anything to come :) We went to Saturday services at our church last night. It was a smaller crowd, which could be a nice way to connect with a few more people if we keep going.
• Now, it is Sunday morning, and Madison is sleeping; I am catching up online; and Jeremy is reading.
