Maddox goes to the Park

We took Maddox to the park for the first time on Sunday, in between the rain drops. There are a couple of parks close to our house with baby swings. She is still a little small but we filled in the gaps with a blankie. She LOVED it. Her little eyes got as big as half dollars the first time we pushed her. Her expressions are pretty funny in the pictures, and considering she was moving, they turned out well. I'm hoping to take her back again today. The sun is finally shining! The picture of her in the polka dotted stroller is at the farmer's market. It wasn't sunny but we trekked to downtown Davenport for a homemade muffin. She had a good time lookin' at all the people...and the dogs! There were tons of dogs down there Saturday...just the right height for her to look eye to eye with them. We picked up some flowers for the outside of the house...a couple of hangin' baskets and some pots. I have to say I cheated this year though. I bought the 'already put together pots'. I would much rather spend time with Maddox than plant flower pots. Funny how our priorities change!! Now we just have to make time to keep 'em watered. They look nice in front of the house. We are hoppin' a plane to Colorado on Friday to visit Uncle Tyler and Aunt Brooke while Eric attends a conference in Estes Park. We're looking forward to it...well I am gettin' a little anxious taking her on the plane. But, she'll do fine I"m sure. It will be her mother that has the anxiety attack on take-off. Luckily Eric is a cool, calm, and collected traveler and will be able to keep us all happy!
