Sweet ladybug baby!

Here is Madeline on her first Halloween!




What's new with Madeline:
She is so close to walking! She cruises around the coffee table and can walk holding on to one of our fingers. She is starting to eat more and more table food which is pretty fun On the down side, she had her third ear infection last week and got sent home twice from daycare with a fever. Depending on how her winter goes, she might be going to the ENT in the Spring. Let's hope not.

Happy Halloween!

Madeline's trip to the pumpkin patch

This weekend Chris's aunt Judy came in town from Cape Cod. We are so happy to see her!

Here are a few pics from Hubers; Madeline took her first wagon ride and picked her first pumpkin.

Surprise getaway!

This weekend I planned a surprise trip away for Chris and I. The last two months have just been crazy for him so I wanted to get him away from the madness for a few days. I worked with his manager to get his calendar cleared and on Friday we left for Abingdon, Virginia. We stayed at this awesome hotel called the Martha Washington Inn. The Inn was originally the home of a general and then a college for women.

Enjoy a few pics from the weekend!


The hotel has these great photos of its history. Outside of our room was a picture of women who used to attend the college. So neat!

The entry to our room.

We took a 17 miles bike ride on the Creeper trail. Here we are at the beginning of the trek.
It was beautiful!!
A little break along the trail.

Walking along the streets in Abingdon.


The Barter Theater- such a fun place to see a play.

This was our first time leaving Madeline; she stayed with her grandparents and loved it! Thanks to mine and Chris's parents for keeping sweet Maddie girl while we had some adults-only time!
