recent randomness!

Our friends Jen and Gui were still in town from Christmas so they came by on their way back to Austin.

They were able to spend a little time with Madelyn before she became tired, so they each read her a book before I had to put her down for her nap.

Jen and Gui are always so good about making an effort to see us while in town, and we really appreciate it!!

We had a playdate at Carter's new house! With the holidays and the Maedgens moving, we hadn't seen each other in a few weeks. Madelyn and Carter are both trying to say each other's names now, and Jordan and I are thrilled...it is so cute!

Though it was very cold, Carter was banging on the back door and saying outside, so we bundled them up and went out for a bit. Carter's new house has a playscape...very exciting! And, even more exciting to Jordan and I...when we reached the rock path, Madelyn and Carter held hands!!! They are just too cute together!!

She can drive her car all by herself now...our backs appreciate it!

Mommy's cousin Alex has the best toys, and I love her hand-me-downs!!!

It snowed in Dallas while we were gone for Christmas, so Madelyn didn't get to see it. So, we got excited to see snow falling again the other day and took her out to play. She does not exactly have snow attire so we just put on several layers of her clothes...and my gloves...over a pair of socks! She looked ridiculous but enjoyed the snow a lot until it got too cold.
