Madison, Grammy, and I went to the Strawberry Festival in Poteet, TX today. (A little trivia-Poteet is the birthplace of George Strait.) It was your typical Texas county fair/rodeo but on a little bigger scale. It was nice to get out, walk around, and enjoy the sunny day. Daddy went to Houston today for the last hockey game of the season.   |   |
Daddy put together the exersaucer yesterday before he left for the final long road trip of this hockey season (yeah!!!). There were a couple more pieces in the box than he expected.
Maddie can just reach the bottom with her tippy-toes. She is still a little young for it but she will pull herself up from a reclining position to a standing position just by holding on to your fingers. We thought we would put it together and give it a try. A couple minutes is all she can take right now...but it won't be long til it is pure entertainment. (thanks again to all the "golden girls"- grammy's friends- in the Sault for this wonderful toy)
Yesterday was "Opening Day" and Maddie spent time with Daddy. From what I hear they played, ate, and watched the Tigers. Daddy took the pictures during their day together.
I really wanted Madison's picture with the bluebonnets (the Texas state flower for those of you who don't know). We went out today to try to get a picture since they are really blooming now. It was too sunny for Madison and she really wasn't into it. The top picture is the best we got today. Maybe we will try again another day.
We get home and Madison is all about posing and talking. Kids...they never perform when you want them to:)
Tonight was Madison's 2nd game sitting in the stands at the hockey game (we usually sit in the family room). Maddie stayed awake the whole game just watching everything. The Rampage won 6-3. Just one more road trip and in a couple of weeks hockey will be over. Then Daddy and Maddie start watching lots of baseball together.
