Mindless Meanderings of Schroedawg

There is so much going on in our world today that is negative. I get irritated with watching the news and seeing such drama the media portrays. I never really paid that much attention to it until I had Madelynne and then everything changed about my perception of the world. It is scary, out there, when all you want to do is shelter and protect your little one. Maybe I am coming to the terms with growing older and realizing that life on this great planet is limited and to make the most of it. Being a SAH mom has really caused me to think and reflect on so many different things. It hasn’t always been sweet, happy thoughts, either. I know a few weeks ago I was really concerned for the end of the world and for my daughter and future generations that have to endure such drastic changes that will continue to occur over time. I find myself getting caught up with questions about my faith and my journey as a Christian and feeling lost and not knowing who to turn to or talk to about such conflict...

 Madelynne turned 7 months on Thursday. So, here is a collage of pics that represent her growth in over a month. Little things---her hair is growing and growing. When it is wet, it is about half way down her back. We can put it in good pig tails now and they stay, for the most part. She is fascinated with bubbles.  She is able to sit up fully on her own, so that means more baths in the sink, so mommy and daddy don't have to slouch so much.                      There are those 2 teeth we talked about last month! There, on the right, is her fascination with the local library's kids programs. The guests were a group from Port Townsend called The Harmonica Pocket. She LOVED them. They did all tribute to Dr. Seuss and she was completed enthralled by their performance. I would check out them on YouTube. They are fun!\ Not to mention, she really likes to watch the big kids, too. Not the happiest campe...
