Missing Easter . . .

Since Easter was in March last year, and Madison wasn't born yet, this year's Easter is her first (even though she's over a year old). Well . . . after getting her all dolled up and heading to church, she THROWS UP 3 times in the CAR!!!! We had to pull over on the freeway because we were so shocked at the amount of vomit and were scared (okay, I was scared) she may choke on it or something. Needless to say, we didn't make it to the Easter service, and instead, took her to my parents' house (we were almost there), gave her a bath, and washed EVERYTHING that was near her, including the carseat. Poor girl.
Thank goodness for George because I totally broke down on the side of the freeway. Madison has never thrown up, especially like that, so I lost it a bit out of being a little scared and also upset that our Easter plans were going to be ruined. Luckily, we were able to enjoy Easter dinner at George's parents' house where she got to wear her Easter dress and look so cute. I'll post pics later.

Maddie's 1st trip to the ZOO

On Monday, April 6th, George and I took Madison to the Sacramento Zoo for the first time. We had such a good time! She especially loved the flamingos and the anteater. For a souvenier, we got her a cute sun hat which she wore all day, especially enjoying sucking on the strap! It was so neat to take this family day trip!!

Madison's FIRST Birthday!

Madison Renee turned ONE on March 31, 2009. We celebrated by going to dinner at The Fountains with some family and friends. That Saturday, April 4th, we partied along with 45 guests at our house with a Disney Princess theme. Madison wore her new birthday dress and had fun seeing so many family members and friends. She wasn't too into eating her cake (surprising to us!), but sat quietly through the opening of her gifts, with only one meltdown during the entire event. Thank you to ALL who came to celebrate and for spoiling our daughter!
