So, I've been terrible about updating our blog lately. Life is just so busy and seems to pass by so fast! I'll do my best to update now...
The past few months have been packed full of fun. We celebrated Christmas here in Texas and a few days later Grandpa and Grandma Barker came to spend a week with us. The girls loved the attention and being spoiled! They were here for Madi's 3rd birthday party at Jumpin' Joey's. What a blast that was!! A few weeks later, Grandpa and Grandma Breudigam came to spend some time with us too. What fun we had. The weather was much nicer than cold and snowy Ohio. Madi enjoyed the park, Old MacDonald's farm, and just playing non-stop!
The girls are just amazing and growing so fast. Not a day goes by that I don't thank God for blessing me with these two angels.
Madi is growing into such a little lady. She loves to dance, play dress up, play 'mommy' to her babies, and all the other things that little girls love to do! In January she started a ballet/tap class on Monday nights. She looks forward to going to dance each week. We've also started speech therapy once a week for her stuttering. For those of you who don't know, she started having trouble with her speech back around the time Ella was born. Her doctor suggested we wait about 6 months to see if she grew out of it. Unfortunately, she didn't, so we have started working with a therapist. Some days are better than others but she is working hard to have "smooth" talking. Madi also loves to have her nightly computer time. She spends about 20 minutes each night practicing her letters, colors, etc on the internet. It's amazing how smart she is!
Ella is changing right before our eyes. Our sweet little baby has 4 teeth (with more on the way), she's sitting up, crawling backwards (working hard to crawl forward!), eating baby food. It's just amazing to watch her discover new things everyday. She's a little over 20 pounds already and growing fast! She's a big snuggler, more than Madi ever was. She loves to curl up next to us and fall asleep. It's the sweetest thing.
I will try to update more often!!!
