Thanksgiving 2013
Even kidney stones and all, Thanksgiving 2013 was wonderful.
When we arrived at one of my favorite traditions... The Cawley Family Turkey Day Brunch we were surprised with some pretty fantastic gifts for Reed... Including the prized stroller I have been eyeing for months... For months, just ask Ray. Maddy even got birthday gifts for her "job" and Barbies galore!
I was blown away by all the love.
We were then off to Nana and Papa's for more food than a small army could ever eat!
A wonderful relaxing dinner with family.
And finally our annual vacation to Mill Falls which was filled with shopping, lunches, and pretty Christmas lights.
We definitely have many things to be thankful for.
Maddy LOVES Mail
Every day when getting the mail from the mailbox Maddy asks... "Is that my mail?!"
Usually I hand her a credit card offer and tell her yes... Here is your mail. BUT, today after arriving home from our mini-Turkey Day vacation we found MAIL for MADDY!
Maddy"s uncle Tim sent stickers. Ray and I have had to officially read her the card 5 times... So far. She now would like a picture of Tim's boo-boo and would like to visit him ASAP in California. :)
Stress Shopping
Early Saturday morning while away up North I woke up and felt like baby Reed may be making his appearance soon. I had been having pretty bad back pain all week and at 3am Saturday it became torture. Finally at 6am we packed in the car and headed down a White Mtn highway to the local ER. Maddy wanted nothing to do with this adventure and even tried to drop me off and have Ray drive away at the entrance! Once we got upstairs though I enjoyed immense relief when I delivered.... Dum da dum.... A kidney stone. Once that passed and I got settled in I told Ray to take Maddy for breakfast, they still needed to monitor the baby and I'd be in for another hour or so.
I will never let Ray and Maddy out of my sight in a stressful situation again... Because after breakfast they made a pit stop to Wal-Mart and as Ray says.... "I was really stressed, and didn't realize what I was doing."
In the trunk, upon picking me up at the ER were $212 in movies.
Can you guess what we did after the ER? Wal-Mart return desk!

Novembers with Maddy
Novembers with Maddy are filled with dancing in shoes that are too small.... And meant for teddy bears.
Lazy movie days...
Thanksgiving decorations...
And my favorite turnovers!

Big Words
My girl of little words has started to surprise me, and I am in awe.
Maddy loves to watch anything baby-related, and her favorite part? The birth! I joke with Ray that when she comes to meet her new brother she is going to be mad that she missed all the ACTION!
So back to my point, we were watching A Baby Story last night and Maddy looks over at me and says.... "Mom, this is so emotional." Such a big word for Maddy. :)
