Spring Break and Easter

We had a wonderful Spring Break and Easter. On Wednesday we headed to Tyler to see Sassie and Mikey. We got to spend a lot of time with our cousins , my sister and my sister-in-law. On Friday we headed home to spend Easter weekend with all the Flint cousins.

Wednesday Nights

Wednesdays are always very busy. Maddie goes to school until 11:30 on Wednesdays when I pick her up we usually have "ladies lunch" with Grammy and Mary Claire. We come home and rest then she has to be back at gymnastics at 2:30(Maddie's teacher told me how impressed she is with Maddie, she said she is very strong for her age and will need to move up a class very soon). While she is at gymnastics M.C. and I pick Flint up from school get a snack and go back and get Maddie at 3:30. We come home do homework and get ready for church by 6:00. Flint has choir and missions on Wednesday night. Kearby leads the missions at our church so MC and I have a quiet evening at home until they get home around 8:30. Tonight Flint's choir performed for us. It was so cute.

It was finally warm enough for Maddie to wear this adorable outfit Aunt Mel, Uncle Mar, Kylan and Leighton gave her for her birthday. It is so precious. She got it at a store in Tyler called "Snug as a Bug". It has the most adorable things. Thanks Aunt Mel!And finally look at sweet Mary Claire in her little monogrammed dress. I can promise you the bow only stayed in for the picture. She jerks them out faster then you have ever seen It has to hurt, she has a lot of hair!!!

Snow

Maddie got to experience snow for the first time in her life this morning. All she wanted to do is catch one snowflake on her tongue then she was ready to go insde and have some "coffee" with mommy.

Crawling

Yesterday Mary Claire was playing on the floor in my bedroom while I was on the computer. When I got up from the computer I could not find her. Then I heard something and I looked under my bed and there she was.......................................

Off to baseball practice

It is that time of year again. Baseball has officially begun. This is very busy time for the Herrington's. Flint has moved up from T-ball to machine pitch so it will be different this year.

Maddie is starting t-ball this year so this season should be interesting. Happy Tuesday!

My Sweet Mary Claire

Just wanted to update you on our sweet baby girl. Mary Claire turned 8 months old yesterday. She has had a very eventful week. On Monday I decided to start trying to wean her. I have been supplementing with formula for a couple of months now. On Wednesday she got a terrible stomach flu and wasn't eating much anyway. She started running fever Thursday and has terrible cold now. She was so pitiful because she felt so bad and she is typically a very happy baby. I had to explain to Maddie not to kiss her because she was so sick and Maddie said "can I just kiss her on the toes". After 8 months Maddie still cannot keep her hands off her. The weaning is going good she is down to only nursing once a day. She is crawling everywhere and starting to sit up on her own. She is pure joy!

Happy Birthday Maddie!

Maddie celbrated her 4th birthday on February 12th. On her actual birthday we had Grammy, Uncle Bubba, Aunt Cin Cin, Davis and Owen over for spaghetti and cake (her cake was in the shape of a purse).



The following Saturday she had a tea party with all her little girlfriends and girl cousins. She loved her "teacup party".

Help me become a better blogger

OK to all my blogging friends I need help. I am really going to start updating my blog more often. I didn't think I was computer illiterate but when I post a new blog how do I show a picture then type something under it? All I know how to do is show all my pictures then type everything I want to write. I've noticed most of you will describe each picture individually and I like that. Please help!
