Madelyn is such a proud big sister!

Madelyn was the first one to comb his hair. and he has a lot! It was so sweet of the nurse to offer to let her do it!

the door hanger she made in her big sister class. She displayed it at the hospital :)

and on the back? she put a picture of her Papa (my grandfather)! Hilarious!

Madelyn came as several princesses to the hospital!

My friend, Amanda, came to visit at the hospital

 soooo sweet :) She has been the best big sister so far!

and Charlie has been an easy, happy, sleepy baby so far too! We just love him and are enjoying every second! I know this time how quickly this stage is over...

I'm catching up with this post before the baby comes! My next post will be newborn pics!!!!!

New matching PJs with her baby!

We had a birthday party to go to, and Madelyn came out of her room dressed like this and said "I'm ready to party!"

 They got their faces painted

 and met Batman and Captain America!

 Then we went to the State Fair! It was a busy day and I was share I would walk that baby right out ;) but no such luck!

 Corny Dogs!!

 Clint and M on the ferris wheel

 She loves all the rides and the games...

 She won several prizes, including this Hello Kitty!

 Clint and Madelyn carved pumpkins! and we roasted the seeds :)

Happy 4th Birthday, Sweet Girl!

We had her party early but still celebrated on her actual birthday, Oct 8. She had the day all planned out. First, chuck e cheese. Then, pick up Clint from work to go to lunch with us. Finally, pizza for dinner with a cupcake for dessert. Oh, and a few more presents that night :) 

Madelyn's friend, Anna, joined us at Chuck E Cheese and the girls had a great time!

I am shocked by this picture! She used to be TERRIFIED of Chuck E (and all full bodied costumes), but this time she gave him a high five and even stood with him for a picture! I think it might have something to do with me telling her we can't go to Disney World until she stops being afraid of costumes :) It just wouldn't be worth it

She celebrated the next day at school! 

and brought cupcakes for the class!

 We just can't believe she is already 4! Where does the time go?
