Fun With The Pokorzynski's

We spent Monday night at Ryan and Rebekah Pokorzynski's temporary home. We finally exchanged Christmas gifts. Sad isn't it!! It's almost February!! Here are a few really cute pictures of Ella, Gavin, Madilyn, Tom, Rebekah and myself. Ryan was busy cleaning the Playdough off the carpet...a Christmas gift to Gavin from us. Sorry guys! :)

Ryan and Rebekah are busy building a beautiful new home. Yup, they are moving into Rockford for good!! Wahooo!! All of us ( that have never left :) ) couldn't be happier.

Tuesday's With Aunt Tracy

Every Tuesday, Madilyn get's to spend the day with her Aunt Tracy. Most of the time, she gets to have lunch her her Uncle Dan too. Maddie sure is loved! Sometime soon she is going to visit her new friend Jonah Carlson, who just happens to be her Aunt Tracy and Uncle Dan's nephew. Thanks Aunt Tracy for spending these days with her!!

Day with Aunt Katie and Uncle Austin

On Wednesday Maddie got to play with Aunt Katie and Uncle Austin all day. My sister Liz who usually watched Maddie on Wednesday stayed home sick with the nasty flu thatis going around. Katie and Austin came to the rescue. I wasn't here to get a photo of Katie, but here is one of Austin and Maddie. There were also visits from Aunt Kellie, Both Grandmas and Grandpa Hosford. It was quite a day!! Not to mention Uncle Austin's "diaper duty." Sorry about that Uncle Austin!!!

A star is born.

This is Maddie's Jackie-O look. A nice look for the spring we think. :)

The One and Only Fanning Trait

Well, we all know that Madilyn has inherited a great deal of her looks from her Father...but she got one of my genes for sure!!! :) Look at that tongue!!!

Fun up at Grandma Courtrights

On Saturday Jan. 14 we went up to Mt. Pleasant for the Courtright Christmas party. When we arrived Grandma Fanning was holding Maddie and checked on her "buds" to see if there were any teeth. And sure enough....Well, we thought there was only one and then Grandpa Fanning said "There's two!!" And there were! Maddie broke her two bottom teeth at just over 7 months old.

Here is a great picture of Madilyn and her Great Grandma playing tug-of-war. Another picture of Maddie and her cousin Andrew. The third is of my Mom and Tom.

Two New Friends

Maddie has two new friends to play with.

Jonah Wesley Carlson, born Jan.17th, 2006 and weighing in at 8lbs 5oz and measuring 20 1/2 inches long. He is a healthy big baby boy and mom and dad (Sean and Kelli) are both happy and healthy. Jonah is here being held by his proud Papa.

Hope Ann Deuel. Born Jan 18th. She was 4lb 11oz and 17.5 in long. Born at 4:28 AM The whole Deuel family is doing well and Jen is felling super. Hope is here showing off her weight. :)

Congratulations to both of these families on their little blessings!

Daddy's Little Bug

Maddie sure does love her Daddy. Here she is with Tom on 1-4-06.

Sitting all by her self!!

Well, the day had finally arrived. Madilyn is sitting all by her self. Ok, so she might fall on her face once or twice but for the most part she is sitting up and playing with toys now. Let's hope that she does this for at least a couple of weeks before crawling everywhere!

Sleeping Beauty

Here's our sleeping beauty on 1/3/06. She had a hard day of playing with Aunt Tracy and then fun with Grandpa and Grandma Fanning.
