the BIG adventures of a little girl...

WELCOME to the world of Madeleine Mary, a charming little princess with a neverending smile, bright blue eyes, and an insatiable curiosity that keeps her parents constantly on their toes.

My New Nickname

Mom & Daddy said I could make the big announcement: we're going to have a new baby in the family. People like to call me big sister now. I'm not quite sure what that means, but everyone sure smiles a lot when they say it too me. Mom says I'll understand it all a lot better toward the end of April, but that didn't help me much...I don't even know when April is! I do love babies though.

Here's our first picture of our new baby, known for now as our little Snickerdoodle (Snick for short). When it came up on the monitor (yep, I got to go to the doctor's office with Mom & Daddy), I said, "Baby!" right away. In December we should be able to find out if I'll have a little sister or brother. And Aunt Dan will find out if he's going to be an uncle this time.


One of the greatest gifts
That life can give to anyone
Is the very special love that families share...
Few gifts in life
Will last as long
Or touch the heart as deeply
As the very special gift
Of family.

Tina, who was correct about Maddie all along, says it's a boy too. Grandma Mary was a good predictor last time with her multiple dreams of a girl...I wonder if she's having any dreams about this one yet?! Jeff & Karen both had twin dreams, but we know for sure those are wrong. At least we'll (hopefully) be finding out the sex early this time!
