Interview with Madison Mae

After we got home from visiting Daddy on the boat, we spent the evening coloring.

I found this "Mommy & Me" interview online that I thought was pretty cute.  I've been waiting for Maddi's birthday to start it, but I figured it'd be neat to ask her the questions now and then again on her birthday (in seven months) to see how much of it changes.  She cracks me up!  Here is how it went.

Madison Mae at 3 years, 5 months.

I first asked her to recite her name: "Madison (long pause)  -I don't remember-"
How old are you? "Free" w/ 3 fingers held up
What is your favorite color? Purple
Who is your best friend? Ms. Suzanne's Girl
Favorite Animal: A horse
What do you want to be when you're all grown up? A frog that goes to school
What is your favorite movie? Tangled
What is your favorite book? "A Book of Sleep"
What makes you happy?  A toy
What makes you sad? When sister pinches and when she bites
What is your most favorite food to eat? California Roll Sushi
What is your favorite song to sing? "Friday"
What games do you like to play? Restaurant and playing with my ABC cards

Then I asked her to write her name for me which was just a bunch of squiggly lines =]

Now we're watching a little Upside Down show before bed.
G'night!

Changes

It's been a little over a year since I've posted on this blog.  I started another, but didn't keep up with the membership and it got deleted.  I thought about transferring the more recent posts, but with all that's been going on I never got around to it.

So much has changed. Chris is back on a boat. Maddi is THREE. Sydney is ONE. I'm a stay at home mom. Oh! And... we live in WASHINGTON!!

It feels like it's all happened in the blink of an eye. It may have. I'm still not even really sure it's sunken in.  At least, so far, we absolutely love the area and the weather has been amazing.  Contrary to everything we expected of WA weather. We were fully prepared for rain, and lots of it!

Chris' new job is going well. He loves being on a boat and I think we're going to love his new schedule.  The girls seem to be adapting well which I'm so glad about.  That was one of my biggest concerns.  I feel so blessed that I get to stay home with them everyday, even if I don't know what day of the week it is anymore. LOL

So... all in all, so far so good, but we miss our family and friends so much! Thank God for Skype!
