Prayers for Chuck

Please keep Kevin's cousin, Chuck in your prayers and pray for healing. A few weeks ago Chuck went to the hospital to have surgery. He had a large mass removed from his colon and part of his colon removed. The mass came back as stage 3 cancer and it was also found in a few lymph nodes. They are meeting with doctors to decide what treatment they will use. He's only 33 years old. As you can imagine, it has hit the family hard. Thanks for your prayers.

Happy Wednesday

I took these pictures of the girls on Saturday, but this has been the first chance I have had to post them.  Alexis will be 5 months old on Saturday...I can't believe it...time is flying by much faster with her than it did with Madalyn. I guess because I'm twice as busy keeping up with two instead of one. :0)

The photo session wouldn't be complete without Alexis tasting some hay. Another fun fact: she rolled over one time while I was taking her picture. She was up on an incline, so when she started to roll she kept rolling until she was off the blanket. So needless to say after we finished with pictures, we came home and I put her in the bath tub.

And Madalyn wondered off to feed the horses some hay.

Bloopers:

They were making the same face...thought it was funny:

 I love this look she's giving me!

You gotta love the drool coming down her chin.

Our Future Track Star

Madalyn has been going to the garden with her Daddy to check on it in the evenings. Then she races him back...Kevin's driving the golf cart and Madalyn's running beside...or out in front. :0) She loves to run and have races. 

Randomness

Here's some random pictures of what else has been going on around our house the past week.

Our Lil' Ladybug

Zoo Trip

We have been promising Madalyn since her birthday that we would take her to the Riverbanks Zoo but we haven't been able to. But since the weather was so nice yesterday and Kevin was all caught up at work, we decided to take the girls to the zoo yesterday. The last time Madalyn went to the zoo she was 1. She had a blast! It was a fun morning for all of us. Alexis did great riding in her stroller and was a trooper. Madalyn wanted to go back to the zoo today. :0) Here are some highlights from our trip.

The penguins were one of the few animals that was Alexis' level to see.

Madalyn loved the giraffes. We didn't feed them because the line for food was way too long, but she did get to pet them. 

Her first trip to the zoo wore her out. :0)

Madalyn's favorite animal of the day was the giraffe.

So while we were taking this picture, behind us Madalyn spotted the gorilla. She got very excited.
