Well...we've been home for almost a week and I've been told by several people that I'm way behind in my blogging and posting of pics. But first of all, there are several CONGRATS that need to be said.

Congrats to Jeremy and Nicky. They welcomed their little girl Sydney into the world a week ago today! Alec and I are soo happy for the two of you. I know that all you will hear is about how fast they grow up and boy is that true! I hope the three of you are as happy as Alec, Maddie and I are. There will be times when you wonder why you ever did this, but then you will look at Sydney and you won't remember what life was like before her. It's the absolute best thing in the whole wide world.

Happy belated Mother's Day to all! I spent my Mother's Day trying to recover from jet lag. Alec and I spent a full 24 hours awake and traveling trying to get home. It's a very long story and not one that would interest anyone. The important details are of Maddison. One the way to England (an overnight flight) Maddie slept the entire way! Except for an explosive poop diaper and a change of outfits before we could leave Chicago airport, we had a very uneventful trip. I loved it and only hoped that our trip back to the states would be as uneventful. Not our luck. It was a day flight and for the most part Maddison was an angel. We had a few little outbursts, but nothing a little walk up and down the ailse couldn't remedy. We did have another expolsive poop diaper and a quick outfit change. It must be something about the flight. LOL!!!

We had a lovely time in England. I will post pics this weekend. Maddison had so much fun with her Nana and Grandpa. Maddison slept every night for atleast 8 hours. Sometimes more. We're having trouble getting back into our routine since we got back to the States, but every night is getting better. She is starting to roll over from BOTH her back to her front and vice versa. I can't begin to explain how much I love watching her. Grandpa even taught her how to blow raspberries. This has been her morning greeting ever since. I must admit that the morning is probably the best part of the day. I get a huge grin and a raspberry to tell me good morning and how excited she is to see me. Maddie is starting to talk more and more. Ohh the stories she could tell you!

I promise there is more to come....but little bit is getting hungry and I'm off to fix her a bottle. I promise there will be pics this weekend or you can call me to remind me. LOL!! Hope everyone has a wonderful friday!
