The Center

There is an amazing place in Houston - The Center for Mental Retardation and PwC picked there as our place to do our community service day. Lucky for me, I'm friends with the head lady heading up the event and work for the BIG boss (the lady to my right) so while the others were slaving away in our 104* heat, I was inside, stuffing fruit cakes :) PwC had more than 150 volunteers show up that day and we had so much fun!

Ah, another precious moment! We are at PF Chang's enjoying dinner - here Madison is showing off her mad chopstick skills and of course, being silly - a trait that is her father's of course! :)

New Steps Forward....

If you have talked to me at all in the past 4 years then I'm almost positive you have heard me complain about Madison's daycare! The list is so long that I just don't even care to get into all the details! Besides, as I said before, I'm sure most of you have already heard it! Today was her first day at her new school. I don't know who was more excited - me or her!

She has also grown a lot as a little person the past few weeks - Chip and I couldn't be more impressed or proud of her! For a little reward we got her a few new decorating items for her big girl room - she picked them out - some pink zebra sheets, a few fury pillows and a super bright shag rug....yes, she's 100% my daughter! :)

She also got a new backpack and shoes for school! Again, notice that they are PINK Nike's!?!? This little nut didn't fall far from the tree :)

Madion's social schedule is packed these days - more than her father and I's combined :) I enjoy watching her with her friends and am grateful that she's made some in the neighborhood. Here she is at the pool with our neighbor boys & girls.

We are getting there :) Hopefully we will finally be able to swim soon!!!

That's my girl!!!

Sprinklers!!!!

Don't you wish you could join her without people starring at you!?!? LOL
