I found several versions of this RACK (Random Act of Christmas Kindness) calendars scattered around the internet. I loved the idea of it and every year we try to remind Madison about the real meaning of Christmas and about giving to others. So this fit perfectly within our tradition. I didn't find any that I visually loved though. So I made my own. You can read all about the template <a href="http://amypahmeier.com/?p=135" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

Word! Ok, not so much....but a few weeks ago, we did celebrate Layla (aka "Lightweight") at a Baby Dedication Ceremony at our church. It was WONDERFUL that Great Mom Polley, Momma Lo, Grand Bear (Johnny Bear's grandpa name as of right now), Mimi and Papaw were able to come down and celebrate with us! Layla doesn't know it yet, but she has some pretty amazing and dedicated grandparents.<br />
<br />
The night started off with some mingling and gawking at all the other babies. And of course comparing Layla's cuteness to the other babies. She obviously beat the all out, though there were a few that gave her a run for her money. They hired someone to take family pictures, so we all posed for a few of those. Little did they know, that we came supplied with our own photographer, Madison. Since being in photography club, her interest in photography has really blossomed! She's starting to get good too.<br />
<br />
We then got to mow down on some super yummy <a href="http://www.claudiasanders.com/">Claudia Sanders'</a> catered dinner. If you didn't know, Claudia Sanders is the wife of Colonel Sanders, founder of KFC. Our food was KFC style, but waaayyy better! After we ate, one of the ministers said a short little something, something and then we shared a letter that they asked us to write. I made Casey read it, because I would have cried in the middle of reading it. I even started getting teary-eyed while he read it, as did most of the table. Here's our letter to Layla...<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Dear Layla,<br /><br />In life you will continuously have ups and down, but remember we love you and we only want the best for you always. We will always be there for you and will give you every opportunity to experience the things you are interested in. We want you to be determined and confident in yourself and will do our best to instill these values in you. <br />We will always be your number one cheerleader while you pursue your dreams and will always lend an ear and guidance when you hit an obstacle in your life. When in doubt, pray to God, he will answer your prayers. He will lead you in the right direction. <br /><br />As you grow, we hope that you will come to know the love that God and your family has for you. They will be a constant in your life. You have an amazing family that will always love and support you....don’t ever forget or take that for granted. We will do everything in our power for you to learn to love and appreciate your family and friends. You will always have a powerful bond with your family and they are the ones that will stick with you through the tough times and celebrate the goods times with you.<br /><br />Being healthy and happy is something you should never take for granted. Be thankful for the family, friends and blessings God has given you. Be humble. As you grow, we will teach you that being kind and considerate of others will not only get you further in life, but will also gain you many friends that you will most likely have for a life time. Always put yourself in someone else’s shoes and act accordingly. <br /><br />Most importantly do your best. In everything. If you set out to do something put your all into it. Remember, it’s better to try and fail than to never try at all.<br /><br />Finally, we hope that you are successful in all that you do. Successful in your dreams. Successful in your marriage. Successful in motherhood. And successful in life. But remember, you won’t succeed all of the time. Make sure you learn the lessons in your failures and also your successes. Take that knowledge and apply it to your future.<br /><br />Love,<br />Mom and Dad</blockquote>

There was actually 3 games in one day. BIG day for us! I was so busy yelling and cheering on the girls, that I forgot to take pictures. I got a few...mostly of Layla (in between games and during time outs). She of course was intently watching the girls and was her usual expressive self.<br />
<br />
By the end of the day the girls were 1 - 2. The first game was a very ugly loss of 6-31. After the game we found out the entire team was 5th graders (we are 4th and 3rd graders). The girls were really nervous going into this game and were still trying to figure out the plays they had been practicing as well. A very bad combo!<br />
<br />
The second game we only lost by 6 points. Madison looked better this game, but you could tell she was still really nervous. Every time she got the ball, she would look for someone open to pass it to. No dribbling. No shooting. But her hustling during this game was awesome!<br />
<br />
By the last game you could really tell that she was much more relaxed. She took a couple shots...never made any, but at least she tried this game. She was really aggressive this game too! In the end the girls won this one. 27 - 18.<br />

And that sleep cycle is wearing on this momma! I thought maybe she was just not getting full at night and thought the introduction of cereal was a good idea. Here's what Layla thought. <br />

Okay, so the introduction didn't go so well. Honestly, she was really tired, that was the main reason she was crying. So we tried again the next day. She wasn't thrilled with it, but it went much better than the first time.<br />

Her coaches were amazing! I was really impressed with their coaching and making sure the girls actually learned something. While the girls didn't have a winning season, the last few games they looked like a well oiled machine with few errors and lots of great hits.<br />
<br />
Here's a few pictures of Madison's last two games.<br />

Madison got to play 1st base this game. She did pretty well, but with this base being new to her, there was a bit of a learning curve that she had to overcome. <br />

Layla was really excited to watch the girls play this game! She was cooing and was intently watching the girls' every move. All that and drooling all over dad at the same time.<br />
<br />

Then the sleepiness took over. We had a mad baby for a few minutes and then once she was too tired to fight it...out she went! I was scared to set her down, knowing for sure, once I did she would wake up. So no more pictures were taken of this game.<br />

<br />
This next game is when Madison started to come out of her slump - in a big way! They moved her to a new base again. This time she was playing third. I believe that she fielded about 80% of the balls this games which meant she was responsible for a large majority of the outs as well. I think the confidence that she gained in this game helped her out in her hitting - which had been less than stellar at this point.<br />

We had so much fun! As soon as we got there we made a few food purchases; local cookie gelato and some iced coffee from <a href="http://heinebroscoffee.com/">Heine Bothers Coffee</a>, also local. The weather was a gorgeous 78 degrees out, sun shining and a small breeze blowing! I couldn't have asked for anything better.<br />

The first activity we did was silk tie-dying. Madison and I both made one. It had been years since I had done any tie-dying so we had a short little tutorial from a volunteer and then the rubber band tieing began!<br />

The next activity that Madison did was painting on a wall that was available to the kids to paint on. It was super awesome. It was a series of 8 panels attached around a large oak tree. The kids were allowed to pick out 3 different colors and paint whatever they wanted. Madison ended up painting a simple smiley face and a heart. I added "All you need is love". I found it very appropriate for the day. I think I may frame the picture.....kinds summed everything up.<br />

And 20 minutes later....we're awake. I mean, seriously, can this kid look any more like her dad? Closing her eyes in pictures and all! And look how white this white girl is! I may need to pull a crazy mom move like the moms on <a href="http://tlc.howstuffworks.com/tv/toddlers-tiaras">Toddlers and Tiaras</a> and give her a spray tan....or NOT! My baby is perfect just the way she is!<br />

This little toy is one of Layla's favorites! It has lots of little toys that dangle she can reach for and practice her grabbing skills. But her favorite is the mirror that's attached. She loves to look at herself and blabber! This has become somewhat of our morning ritual.</div>

<div style="font-family: inherit;">
Oh, how I love this picture! It really sums up our life right now. Let me dissect it for you...</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
...a messy table that hasn't been cleaned off yet due to lack of time.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
...a glass of orange juice, part of Madison's after school snack.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
...a coke can, my attempt at getting a little extra energy to run to the next activity.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
...Casey's Nicorette, his solution to a long day with a huge client.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
...the day's mail needing to be sorted through.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
...the laundry door open, probably doing a load of never ending laundry.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
...Madison already in her "sports" clothes.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
...and finally, Madison reading for her nightly homework to Layla.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
Through all the chaos of our daily lives, Madison ALWAYS reads out loud to her sister. And Layla ALWAYS pays attention to Madison when she does. It's an amazing ritual bond that they have. </div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I can't believe that Christmas is about 80 days away! And every year I get asked what Madison would like....well, we actually started talking about it last night. Then I got a brilliant idea. I'm going to post her Christmas list on the blog! Brilliant!!!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">So.....at the top I added a tab called (appropriately) Christmas. I'll try to keep adding to it as she mentions more items. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Oh, and I'm not going to do one for Layla cause she's a baby and she doesn't care! :) </span></span>Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02996818742669465124noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6223380201418199795.post-7602529458097384652011-10-03T10:22:00.003-04:002011-10-03T10:22:44.785-04:00Weekend Update<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here's the latest shots from Madison's fall softball games. Layla wasn't happy and (as you can see from the last few shots) Madison didn't hit so well this game.</div>

My, oh my, how time does fly! 3 months old! That really seems unreal to me! 3 months, WOW!<br />
<br />
Layla has recently discovered her own reflection in one of her toys. She's quite entertaining when she looks in it. She will lay there for a long time and have a conversation with her self. I can only image the conversations...."My, you're a good lookin' girl. Been around here long? Oh, me too! Did you hear that? That's my puppy dog barking, probably a cat in the front yard. Oh, no, it's just my sissy getting home from school."<br />
<br />
She can also hold her head up really well when you hold her. Not much neck support is needed now-a-days...just when we get really sleepy. Speaking of sleep. We haven't been going down as easily as the prior months.

We made it to the double digits! Success! I thought, since it's the beginning of football season that it was appropriate to use some Varsity-type lettering on Layla's onesie this week. <br />
<br />
We had a pretty big milestone this week. We no long need the head support, neck stabilizer thingy in the car seat. I took it out a couple days ago and it actually made me sad. I mean, as I was physically taking it out, a sadness came over me. It was a huge slap in the face that she was getting bigger right in front of my eyes! It was at that very moment that I realized how much I really, really, really love being able to work from home. Not only with spending time with Layla during the day, but being able to have more one on one time with Madison. I've definitely been trying to savor the moments more lately!Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02996818742669465124noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6223380201418199795.post-72395816469031706672011-09-08T08:24:00.000-04:002011-09-08T08:24:19.236-04:00YouTube Star in the Making<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

That's right, we've created a YouTube channel. The video quality on this blog is awful and I figured it would be nice to have all the videos in one spot for the fam to view. I don't know if we'll ever capture a video that will go viral and make us lots of moohla. (Well, I guess if we do Layla will get a nice cushion for her college fund.) But it's worth the try. </div>

There's not a whole lot on there now, but as she gets more active, I'm sure the videos will get more entertaining. ENJOY!!!</div>
