Updates

It's been a long time since we've posted anything on here. I (Christin) just got done with youth group praise team practice and Derek is in a board meeting. The girls and I are in the nursery. I actually like these times because it means that I am able to get on the internet, which is usually a rare occasion. Madelyn is watching her Veggie Tales movie and Adriauna is playing.

Madelyn turned 2 this past Saturday. It's hard to believe that she's 2. We asked her all day "Is today your birthday?" "Are you 2?" She always answered "Noooo!" I don't think she understand what we were talking about. We aren't having her birthday party til the end of the month. She's talking more and saying new phrases. Sometimes it's hard not to laugh at her when we really shouldn't. A couple weeks ago she wasn't listening to Derek. I can't remember what it was specifically now. But he was asking her to come to him and she wouldn't. She laid on the floor and said "No! I'm sleeping!" and then pretended to snore. We couldn't help but laugh! She loves being a big sister and calls her lil sister "'drinana".

Adriauna has been sitting up and holding her bottle on her own for some time now. She's still not quite happy with laying on her stomach, so little bits at a time to get her to try to crawl. We'll be driving in the van and Madelyn will start laughing for no reason we can see. We'll look back and she'll be looking at Adriauna. We can't see what she's doing, but it's funny to Madelyn. She'll sleep through the night every so often, so Derek and I are still playing the "every other night" game.

Since the last post, Derek and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary. We left the kids at my parents house and headed to Indy for a couple days. We found this amazing cupcake shop down by Keystone. Gigi's Cupcakes... worth every penny. (You'll need 300 pennies for 1 cupcake.) I love being at home with our girls.

Sorry for the lack of pictures lately. Hopefully we'll get some posted after Madelyn's birthday party. Hope everyone is having a great start to fall! Keep us posted on what's going on with you in your lives. God bless!
