Never what you expect!

So, I have to admit I was never much of a girlie girl. Of course, I like handbags, shoes and all that fun stuff but when it comes to clothes shopping .....I can do without... I usually feel overwhelmed, nothing fits right and I have no idea what really looks good on me. As an aside, if any of you would like to nominate me for a show like "What not to Wear", I would not be offended.

Anyway, Bill and I have truly been blessed with an amazing little girl. Filled with personality, a zest for life and an extraordinary spirit. Prior to having Maddy, I always said, I would like to have 2 boys. I pictured them to be of average height, dark hair and olive skin. The Lord really does work in funny ways. He gave us this adorable, blonde hair, blue eyed, fair skinned baby girl. A very wise friend of mine said that "God will give you what you need" and wow was she so right. She is so what her Momma needed... A girlie girl who's into princesses, baby dolls and clothes but also loves to kick her soccer ball around and play in the garden..... So, as Maddy is turning 2 1/2, everyday is an adventure and sometimes a little nuts, but as I look back what an amazing 2 1/2 years its been. Time just goes too fast!

A Weekend of Fun & Learning!

This past weekend Bill attended the NYS Chiropractic Association Fall Conference in Lake George, NY. Thanks to the organizers, they didn't forget the families and held it at the Six Flags Great Escape Lodge and Indoor waterpark. It is an amazing place, the lodge is rustic and has the perfect adirondack feel, the Looney Tunes characters are milling around, they have crafts for the kids to do in the Library, the arcade was a blast and the higlight really is the indoor waterpark. I met some other great Chiro Moms and Maddy of course played with any children she could get a hold of. We did some major shopping at the Outlets, and Hema and Grandpa Merritt were even able to visit for 1 night. So, all in all the weekend was a great success. Bill completed all of his continuing education credits for the year and Maddy and I had so much fun. What more could I ask for!!!

Let's try this again....

Ok, I have to admit.... I really need to get with the program. I have been attempting for over a year now to get this blog going. I'll post a welcome message and get ready to send it to all of my friends and family and then I just get sidetracked. So, this time is for real. I promise. So many of you want to know what's been going on in our lives and I think this will be the most streamlined way to fill you in. I hope you enjoy it and I look forward to giving you a glimpse into our everday life. I have to warn you it is a little crazy around here but so much fun. So, bookmark this page and check back often.

Enjoy and love to you all.

Ange, Bill & Madelyn
