Mindless Meanderings of Schroedawg

This time of year is always busy. We always have things going on and it has been especially busy this year with the move and with the welcoming of Jaxson. Here are some of the highlights from the past two months depicted in pictures, of course. :) During the Irrigation Festival, the high school always puts on a musical. This year it was Cinderella. Maddy and I had a date night to see it. What fun! For one of my birthday ideas and girls night ideas was to do a Pour, Sip, Paint event---which I hosted. It was such a fun time!  Pallet of colors Nikki's awesome Nessie My finished product.  All of our paintings together.  The girls and our lovely hostess, Natalie.  Enjoying John Wayne Marina on an evening walk.  Cuddling with the kiddos.  Seaglass hunting at Clallam Bay She loved her new-to-her chair a bit too much & fell asleep in it the minute she got home.

I think I forget how crazy life gets when you have a baby. There is absolutely limited time for anything, especially to get things done. With summer coming up around the corner for Madelynne, and no travel plans to Colorado as is routine, it seems the days will get busier and life will whirl by as it does and has. Jaxson's two month existence into our world has been nothing short of a blessing. His personality is similar to Madelynne's at this stage of infancy, but he is also more laid back than she was.

I keep telling myself once he gets to sleeping 7 hours straight through, then we won't be co-sleeping much anymore, but I do like cuddling with him. He's great at cuddling and I don't think he wants it any other way than to be connected to me. Annoyi
