April has been a time of change around here!
Outside the sunny days are getting longer (much welcomed after a gloomy Louisville winter!) and the temperature is creeping up. The April showers come and go and trees and flowers are in bloom. Time to get those sweaters packed away and sport short sleeves! I had to explain to Steven the other day the importance of a pedicure (for me, not him!) because "it's open-toe shoe season." I love spring!
Within our family things have changed as well...particularly in the job department. At the beginning of the month Steven started a new job! He is now employed with AMGEN, a drug company. No longer with the insurance companies; he's gone to "pharma." The biggest challenge-I mean, change- is that his office is based from home. I love that he's home, but it does make those fun girl trip to the mall, Target, etc. a little difficult to pull off. (ha!) And because he is now an office hog, I have little time to play around on the computer...hence the lack of posts. (However, you'd be surprised how much more I've been able to do around the house lately!) On a serious note- it has been wonderful to see the Lord work! In this He taught us to be patient, let Him lead, and trust Him with the details. We have truly been blessed!
And of course Madelyn is changing too! Her big thing lately is "the roll." We're so proud of her when she rolls from her back onto her tummy. She'll hold her head up and look around at everything (reminds me of a turtle!) and she'll play with toys in front of her. The problem is that when she's trying to get all hunkered down in her bed for the night she rolls over and can't get back! She'll wake up and cry, and we'll roll her back over. So everyone's sleep has been disrupted lately, but once she figures out all the rolling maneuvers she'll be good to go.
Now for some pics! When Steven was away for his new job training Madelyn and I went to Bham. It was so great to see our friends and family! I think Madelyn's favorite part was getting to play with her cousin Autumn!
Madelyn's "shine" is compliments of her genius mom who applied moisturizer moments before we took pics!
"Wow! Autumn has hands too!
"Ok Autumn, you stay on your side and I'll stay on mine."
"Was it something I said?!"
They are so cute!!!
And here are a couple more pics...
Madelyn in her swing. We used to talk about how she'd never be able to reach those animals. Not only can she reach them, she likes to eat them!
I have a name for Madelyn's hairdo...it's called the "frohawk." Her hair stands straight up (fro) and only does so on the top (hawk.) So she sports a frohawk!
SWEET PEA!!
And here is a corny joke for you:
"If April showers bring May flowers...what do May flowers bring?"
