Relaxing week!

Our week was pretty uneventful. We worked, played with Maddie, did a little laundry and relaxed. This was the first weekend where we didn't have anything planned or visitors so it was nice to just lay low. We went to watch the dragon boat races Saturday morning because our friend Julie was racing. It is a huge even in Superior that raises money for breast cancer.

Julies is very special to Maddie. She has watched her for us ever since she was born and Maddie was really excited to see and cheer for her! We got there just in time to watch her race and it was a great day to be outside!




We took a little bike ride down by the river and stopped to play and take a few pictures. I'm afraid that summer is coming to a quick end and we wont have many more nice days to play outside.




Maddie had fun picking up rocks and throwing them in the river. We had to hold on to her because she kept getting closer and closer to the edge. No fear for this little one!!





Miss Madelyn LOVES to go on bike rides! She is such a good girl and is something fun that we can do as a family.






Maddie played with the neighbor kids for a while as they were filling and throwing water balloons. She seemed to just drop and break them on her self but had a fun time with the kids. She loves to blow bubbles too so we tried to play outside as much as we could.
I can't believe how fast time goes and how big our girl is getting! She communicates so well and I love the conversations we have. Her personality is feisty but fun. She can be so sweet and cuddly but knows what she wants and will let you know! Some cute things she says is "last morning", that means yesterday. She will call Bob and I "sweetie" or "honey" when she tries to get our attention. "Twinkle, Twinkle" is her favorite song and loves everything princess! Princess movies, princess pj's, she is all girl and I love it!
Yes, she still has a nuk but we are working very hard to break that habit. She doesn't have on at daycare but wants one when she is at home or goes to bed. The last two nights she hasn't had one at all but was looking under bed for it this morning. I think the "Nuk Fairy" will be coming soon to take all of her nuks to other babies that need them. She leaves a present for during the exchange so we will see how that goes?
She was doing pretty well on the potty chair before we went to ND but hasn't shown much interest lately. She wants to wear her big girl panties (pull-ups) all of the time but has been refusing to go on the potty. We bought her some princess panties to see if that helps, but I guess she will do it when she is ready.
So, what will this week bring? Another week of working, playing with Maddie and cleaning house. Nothing too exciting but I guess that is okay for right now.
