Maddy's first Easter. We were missing our older 'baby' Am! She went to California with her friend Natalie for an early 18th birthday celebration/Spring Break. Wait...18?? Yes...this is the year that I have to look forward to and want to rewind a decade at the same time. Here we have this beautiful, perfect little miracle. We are so lucky to have her and every single day I stare at her and ask...'is she really mine?' On the other hand my other baby will be graduating from high school and turn 18 all within 3 months! I am tearing up while I write this. Only because through these past 18 years, I have had the absolute pleasure of being Ambree's mom, and hopefully as of late, friend! She is the rock that helped me 'grow up'. She is the sweetest and most level headed 17 year old I know. Much more so than I was at that age. I am blessed to have this person, woman, teenager to call mine! She has always been a momma's girl. Always protective, always lovey! Even offering one year, her birthday money, to help mom pay bills when things were tight. That makes the tears roll... I absolutely love this girl and look forward to helping her through life and college, etc, etc. Meanwhile looking back and missing that smily little girl she once was! Love you Am and I am so proud of the person you are. If Mad's turn's out half as wonderful in 17 years, we will truly be the luckiest parents in the world. (Even moreso than now!) Sniff...sniff...
Anywho...We went to my parents house for dinner and an Easter egg hunt. Luke was conversing with Mad. (Which according to him, she said 'hello' to him 3 times!) He's so cute with her!
Addy with her ball. Love that face!
Emerie with her egg basket, with the help of Papa, finding eggs!
Alec holding Maddy. Love that kid, or should I say young man. He's so handsome!
The excitement was too much and Mads was tuckered out. Auntie Sissa is a good resting place.
Mad and I having our own conversation!
Busted!! I watched my nieces Thursday while Matt and Sissa moved into their new house. (Congrats guys!!) All got a little too quiet while feeding Maddy. Here's where I found the 2 culprits. In Mad's room climbing on the chair. Love them!!
Nem's thought this was funny! While Addy drops the evidence!
The three musketeers. In another year, they will be partners in crime! Notice they all have a hair pokie of sorts on their yummy little heads!
Thanks to my parents for the fun Easter!

So cute. She is already growing. HAppy late Easter. See you guys soon hopefully!
Oh my goodness Kim, stop making me cry. I can't believe your baby is almost 18! She was one of the best parts of dating Jer 17 years ago! She was my best little friend and you have done a great job raising an amazing woman. She is everyone's favorite and will always be.
Lukie wants to read a story to Maddie, so we'll need her to come right over!
Love you!
I love that pic of Maady with me where she is covering her eyes! I love her! I love both of your babies very much! (your ok too:)
