Prepare for the onslaught!

This is the lovely hat David made for Madelyn the other day out of the paper. Miss mess!

Sunday before last, our church had a family fun night. Madelyn had lots of fun! She thought she was big enough to play badminton.

She especially liked the bouncy house. And playing with her friend!

Wednesday we headed out for a nice little vacation. Our plans had changed a bit since my grandmother was injured, but we did still get to see my family. Thursday we went to IKEA and got lots of cool stuff. I swear could have wiped out our bank account there, but I was good. Got some lamps & things to redecorate as well as some toys for Madelyn. She was tired before we even got started!

She did nap for a while, but she also had fun!!

BOO!

This is her new face - the surprise face! I still can't get a good picture of it, but it's hilarious!

Silly girl

This is an actual stop sign in Dublin, GA. I think there is nothing more I can say about that.

After a couple of days in Atlanta, we headed to Savannah. While there, we visited the Oatland Island Wildlife Center. It was pretty there, and thankfully not too hot.

Something tells me that boat is not supposed to be there.

All the animals were lazy & sleepy!

Looks like Daisy!

Someone else was sleepy too...

The birds! Madelyn's favorite =)

Bald eagle. Very 4th appropriate.

Bats...creepy...

Bison are huge!

Possums are creepy looking.

We tried to get to Paula Deen's restaurant, but it was too busy. Instead we went to Uncle Bubba's. It was really good!

He was there too, so we got to meet him. He was very nice!

Giving daddy "5"

We went to Hilton Head Island, SC for a few hours too. Upclose & presonal woodpecker!

She looks like she's sleeping, but she's really just playing.

On Sunday we drove down to St. Simon's to visit my family. Had lots of fun! Here are some pics from that.

My cousin Sophie - so pretty =)

Madelyn warmed up so quickly!

Messing around while visiting mu grandmother.

Little miss is starting to love dress up. I need to get her some dress up clothes!

The child racked up on presents! Here she is enjoying her new puzzle.

Look at the bunny!

Playing with the cousins.

After a nap for MJ, we spent the afternoon at the beach. She was a water baby the whole trip!She really enjoyed the sand too.

In the cute dress my mom made her.

Building sand castles...kind of. When it got dark, we sat on the beach and watched the fireworks from all the surrounding islands. It was beautiful. Madelyn even enjoyed them. Not afraid at all!

I will stop flooding you with pictures now. I may flood some more when we get all the new decor up.
