Big Girl Bed!

Well I have some very exciting news. Madelynn has officially spent her first night in her big girl bed. Last night I was having some trouble getting her to go to bed so I asked if she wanted to sleep in her big girl bed. I am happy to say that it is 7:15 and she is still sleeping and she didn't make a peep all night. The room is bare/no curtains, no decorations, no bedskirt... and we're not finished painting the base boards but the bed is in use. Today is house cleaning day for me as I am home from work and I will make sure that she has her clean sheets and blankets in place. Brian is headed to Nebraska this weekend to watch a friend play football and Madelynn and I are touring the Shatto dairy with our family fun group. We're looking forward to a relaxing weekend.

promises, promises!!

So I promised I would keep everyone up to date with our lives but clearly I am not very good at keeping my word! We have been keeping busy and my cameras have been loaded with pictures. I finally decided it was time to unload and update everyone about the happenings with the Heits family. The last time I wrote was after the 4th of July. We have had a blast the rest of the summer. Baby Girl Heits continues to grow (I am 30 weeks along now and doing fine. Madelynn gets more talkative everyday and we have loved trips and days outside and just lazy weekends at home. In August we took a trip to Pheonix and stopped in Denver to visit cousins Chloe and Olivia. We had so much fun at the zoo and at the butterfly pavilion and just hanging with the Snyder clan! We also enjoyed the Lathrop Friendship festival with the Hamilton Bank and Danica and Madelynn had a blast in the parade. A couple of weekends ago we traveled toTarkio and got to take a tractor ride and pick apples and pumpkins and Madelynn got to play with cousin Maddox, Sophie, Claire and Grace. This weekend Jasper and Danica came for a visit to go to garage sales. Brian and I had a garage sale and needless to say we are all worn out but the girls had fun playing together. Yesterday we went to the Tyner houser for Cousin Maya's birthday celebration and Madelynn had so much fun playing on the swingset, playing on the trampoline and playing with peanut their pet guinea pig!
