Sixteen (16) Weeks and Counting...

Portia is 16 weeks today!  We will find out if it's a boy or a girl on March 10.  Well, actually we won't find out until March 13.  Unless, Johnny Van slips the secret out!  I'm not convenienced that he can keep a secret for three whole days; not one of this magnitude!  So, don't anyone call him and tempt him to reveal.  Tandi would be sooo mad because she is hosting a "Reveal Party" for Johnny and Portia at her house on Saturday, March 13.  We're going to play games and eat and have lots of fun!  When we cut the cake, the inside of the cake will either be pink or blue revealing if it's a boy or a girl.  Oh my...which will it be?  I can't wait to see!   

Road Trip to Scottsboro

Peek-a-boo!

We watched Elmo movies on our way to meet Lyssa in Scottsboro and worked puzzles and played and played and played.  Play time was over when we arrived...a sad time for all.  Madi cried, screamed and kicked; Poppie weeped...saying good-bye is not easy.  But, we look forward to Madi's next visit.  She will be 2 years old when she comes back...2 years old!  Where has the time gone?  We miss you Madi Lynn and can't wait to see you...
next time!
We love you Sunshine Girl!

Super Bowl Time!

When we got home from church we let Madi play in the snow for a short while!  It was way too cold to be outside for very long.  She loved throwing snowballs and eating the snow too!

Monkey Fun!

This little monkey can get off the bed all by herself!

Snow Baby

Madi wanted to go outside and see the snow on the deck.  Tandi bundled her up to take her out not realizing that it was drizzling rain!  It was a quick outing and Madi was determined to stay outside.  Everytime Tandi would tell her to come inside she'd say, "Nooooo".  She kept backing up away from the door.  We finally had to just scoop her up and take her inside the house.  I got her distracted towards something else so she didn't have a hissy fit!  Notice her hand how cold...Oosh!
