Here We Go Again!

The same question I seem to be constantly asking these days.....do I blog backwards or pick up right here?
Noelle is doing really well in pre-school, I don't think she could love it any more and I am so pleased with all she is learning. I'm still wondering if I will ever get over the feeling that comes over me when I see her running off to school as fast as her little legs will carry her. Any one else know the feeling that your heart is literally running off outside of your body? She is so interested in the world around her and I at times find myself wondering what her passion in life will be.

Today I am wondering if it will be photography.

She got the camera on the black and white setting herself!

And then there is, Madeleine, my sweet girl. She turned 10 months old on 9/26 and I did not get any pictures. Horrible. The pictures from out trip to Texas will have to do. Just she and I made the trip out to see my brother, Joseph, and his girlfriend, Amy, for a few days. She was not in the mood to impress and I'm afraid their eardrums will never be the same. Despite her sudden affinity for SCREAMING we still love and adore her more and more. She is finally feeling confident and crawls off to play all around the house instead of being glued to me. Every day she is more animated and is such a character with the funniest laugh. To sum her up in one word: LOVE. She falls asleep like a dream, most nights without a peep. Her middle of the night wakings are very loud, though. I usually would just wake up, feed her and stick her back in bed because I am too tired to do anything else. But, Friday and Saturday night she slept all night and I vowed she is done with nighttime nursing. Monday night she was up from 2-4am but I stuck to my guns (even though she had a runny nose) and we both survived. Last night she slept all night again.

I am getting ready to run my race this weekend and getting sooooooo nervous! Why?

When I think about it too much I regret making it public news because now I really have to go through with it. That and the fact that I already paid the ridiculous registration fee.

Don't you have a neighbor that likes to take pictures? You should call her...I bet she'd take some pictures of Madeleine. :)
