We've had a very exciting fall which started off with some very exciting news: Madden is going to be a big sister! We are expecting the new baby in April and are very excited about expanding our family.
I have posted a ton of pictures of Madden. I'll try to explain each as they come. There are some pictures from a Zoo trip in August that Mom and I took Elyse and Madden on, some Apple picking pictures and some pictures from "Old McDonald's Farm."

Elyse in a bear cave at the Watertown Zoo.
Elyse posing for a picture with a chipmunk (to her left).
Is she a goof ball or what? She loves "nax." (fruit snacks)
Eating breakfast before we travel to Elyse's birthday party.
More apple picking pics. This time a kiss from Elyse.
Madden LOVES pumpkins!
Christian likes pumpkins, too. But he insists that they are yellow. He'll fight you to the death over the color of any object. It's always "yellow."
"What are these and can we take one home?"
So, Madden has had 2 colds already this fall. She is all about treating Dora for her colds. She is obsessed with wiping noses and "blowing" her nose. I caught her with the Saline and buger sucker the other day treating Dora's cold. I'm sure if she had a chance, she'd shove them up my nose for pay back!
