Madi's first vegetable. She had squash last night for supper. She did really well. Her first bite she just sat there with it in her mouth for a couple of seconds with a wondering look on her face and then she ate it. She loves the rice with apples...so she will continue with that and squash for a couple of days and then carrots are next.

We had a busy day yesterday. We went and had family pics done at Sears. What a joke!!! By the time we were ordering Chris was ready to get up and leave and not order a thing. We had a new lady, she didn't now a thing she was doing, and we had 18 pics to choose from. That was it. We were there for 2 hours!!! We figured out what we wanted and then asked about the same day pics. It is all over the studio, "Same Day Portraits", "Take your pics home today". What it doesn't tell you is that it is an additional $3 a page to have them today. So, we asked when would we get them if it isn't today. "Oh, they'll be in on Dec. 20." There goes Christmas cards, everyone would be receiving New Year's Cards. Well, we went ahead and had wallets printed at the store...everyone will be getting Christmas cards this week. As you can probably tell, we won't be going back to Sears and having our pics done again. Which was what Chris said the second we walked out. I didn't tell you, this is all at 9 am, on a Sunday. I told Chris it should be faster, no waiting, we should be in and out if we do it early. Oh well!!!

So, after the Sears fun filled morning we went home, Chris and Madi rested. Then we went to Wal-Mart to do some Christmas shopping. Next year, I am shopping in July!!! What a madhouse. But we had fun picking out gifts. It really is more fun to give than to receive, especially with all the little ones in our family!!! Christmas day is going to be awesome this year!!!!

Can't wait to see all of you!!! I've got to get busy. Chris finally brought in his hunting stuff this weekend.

Love, Amy
