We’ve be Busy…
9:23 pm, June 3rd, 2006Hello everyone!
We apologize for such a long delay from the last update to our blog. Our family has been extremely busy in the past month. Two weekends ago we went to Beulah camp where our summer cottage is. While we were there two exciting things happened. First of all our little gal decided it was time to start sleeping through the night! I was so suprised it happened so early. Since then, there have only been three nights that she did not sleep through until morning. Secondly, it rained the whole time we were at the cottage and on Saturday we awoke to rain in our sunroom! we discovered that our roof has some major leaks and is in need of repair.
It boggles my mind that Maddie is already two months old! I am REALLY ENJOYING motherhood! It has definitely changed my life in many ways, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything in this world! Maddie has brought me so much joy! She just started discovering her thumb this past week and has been smiling and cooing for almost two weeks now. Last week we visited the hospital and discovered that she is now 11 lbs and 5 oz. This week Maddie will receive her two month old shot. My guess is that Maddie will cope with the needle a lot better than her mommy will.
Yesterday my niece Mya, Maddie, and I went to The Magnetic Hill Zoo. There we met up with my kindergarten class. We all had so much fun. The animals were very active which made the visit very enjoyable! Mya, who is about two months shy of her second birthday impressed everyone with her counting skills and extensive vocabulary. Our favorite animals were the goats and lepoards. When we reached the lepoard cage one of them kept passing directly in front of where we were standing. Every time the lepoard turned away from us Mya would extend her arms, laugh, and say “More, more! Again!”. When we arrived at the goats we discovered several baby goats had been recently born. I fed the goats while Maddie napped and Mya pet them. What a beautiful day we had to visit the zoo!
Troy, Maddie and I visited Nana and Papa Wilson this weekend. We caught a cute picture of Maddie and Higgins, the family feline pet catching a nap in Papa’s chair. How adorable! This coming weekend we hope to make a visit to see Nana and Papa Bradstreet.
This Thursday is our kindergarten graduation and the substituting teacher has been very gracious and has allowed me to be a part of the program. I am looking forward to watching my students walk! I am making memory albums for my students and a slide show presentation of our year’s highlights for graduation.
Check out the new photos below and hopefully we’ll do a better at keeping the blog more up to date.

I’m a little slower than Kristi…. I thought Troy was enjoying motherhood! Glad to see some beatiful pictures! Lisa needs to learn to use the camera (or Troy needs to relax and let her use it!) — We need more pictures of Troy!
It’s such a good thing that Maddie looks like Lisa.

Yay! You finally posted and updated with pictures! I knew it was you writing, Lisa, by the 2nd sentence!!
Maddie is growing and developing new looks all the time - it’s fun to watch!
It made my heart soar to hear (read) you talk about Miss Mya - she’s my treasure! Little girls are precious to have!! I’m so glad you all had fun together at the zoo. She hasn’t stopped talking about the baby goats, so it looks like we will be taking lots of trips to the zoo this summer! We’ll have to plan a zoo date!
