It was such a beautiful fall day, that my Mom had the idea to take a drive the Monadnock region of New Hampshire... just gorgeous.
So we piled into the car (including my 2 nieces), and hit the road. We ended up going to a working dairy farm, which was fun. They didn't have a lot of activities but the kids got to see the animals, and get pretty close to the cows....
Of course, what is a road trip w/out stopping for ice cream?
Ok, get ready for lots of pictures.... Lately, baby girl immediately stops smiling when the camera comes out...
I'm loving fall, and dressing her in cozy clothes for fall.
This was the other night we went outside for a little while after dinner... It occurred to me yesterday that her hair is beginning to look like the Beatles during the British invasion... I'm not sure what to do about that?
This is a toy Ga-Ga, and Grandpa bought her shortly after she came home... you hit the red plunger, and this music starts playing, balls start popping up through the hole... sometimes they go back down the shoot to be shot out again, and sometimes they go flying off in some other direction. When she was younger she was marginally impressed with it. Now that she's a little older she can do the plunger herself, and can chase the balls... it's now a favorite....
I KNOW their coming....
What happens if I hold the ball down??
WHERE'D they go???
They're all gone??
Getting ready to go to the pumpkin patch, and apple picking...
Marshall Farm.... they had a green tractor pulling these little kids, in cow cars... so cute!!
The Pumpkin Patch....
Madalynn discovering the pumpkins...
Sitting IN the apple tree with Grandpa...
Well Madalynn ran her fever on and off from last Wednesday until Sunday morning.
Sunday morning while I was on the phone with my Mom, so happy that she finally didn't have a fever, when I noticed all these blotches on her face, and neck... sooo back to the Dr we went, and the covering Dr said she had roseoala. A virus that starts as a fever for a few days, which then breaks, and then a rash breaks out.
As of today the rash has pretty much faded too, and she's starting to come around. We had a pretty low key weekend as I was fighting a migraine too. Unfortunately we had to miss my niece's 4th birthday party...
I felt so bad for her all weekend, she was so lethargic. We watched a lot of Winnie the Pooh, Heffalump, and LOTS of Cinderella (her new favorite.
She is getting back to her busy self tonight, which makes me happy. Although I must say as much as I hated to see her sick, I did enjoy how snuggly she was.
We're planning on going apple picking this weekend so I hope to get lots of FUN fall pics.
Autumn has arrived here in Boston, and I LOVE it!!! The trees are beginning to peak, and it is always breathtaking...
Second, it's my parents 41st anniversary!! Happy anniversary Mom & Dad!!
My poor baby girl has a fever of 102.5!! I feel so bad for her. I called the doctor this evening as her breathing sounded funny, and they said to bring her right in (my dr is easily 30 minutes away without traffic, and this was rush hour).
Soooo...I drove fast to get there, and couldn't understand why other drivers got in my way... didn't they know I had a sick baby in the car?? She fell asleep in the car, and she was OUT, which freaked me out. The dr thinks shes fine, just a virus that needs to run its course... I'm sure Mommy will have a long night though.
Why did God choose to bless me with this amazing baby girl???
I just adore her!!!
Taking time to stop & smell the flowers (actually about 2 seconds after I snapped this picture she opened her mouth to eat them)
First she climbed into the basket, and then up on to the chest, and took a seat...
Rocks are fun aren't they?? (and tasty... yes she tried to put them in her mouth).
I borrowed this from another blog I check regularly (I hope you don't mind Darcy :-)!!
I think in life we're all going to face challenges, and struggles, and I think a big part of dealing with those challenges, and struggles is our own perspective. So in that line of thinking I decided to post what I'm thankful for to help my perspective...
1) I'm thankful I have a job that enables me to provide for myself, and my daughter.
2) I'm thankful for what I refer to as our 'cozy' house. Each night when we pull in our garage (another thing I'm thankful for) I say to Madalynn are we at our cozy house? To which she responds with a big grin, and claps her little hands.
3)I'm thankful for the family God gave me, and am humbled he blessed with them.
4)I'm thankful to have been born in America.
6)I'm thankful for fall my favorite time of year!! Pumpkins, cozy sweaters, apple picking, baking, Patriots season starting, cooking comfort food, wearing sweats to bed under cozy covers.
5) I'm thankful for the baby girl sleeping down the hall.
