Fun Birthday Weekend!

This past weekend Nana and Ashlee came to visit! The last visit before baby girl arrives...I can't believe it's almost time! We had a great time, of course. They brought Madilynn a "ballerina dress and dancing shoes" as Madilynn calls them, and she enjoyed dancing around for them.

Michael and I both celebrate birthdays in August...so we celebrated with my family this weekend. My mom brought a cake from Rick's bakery (yummy!!)

Then Monday night Michael and I took Madilynn to the hospital for the Big Sister class. She was such a big girl and did so well. We were so proud to she how she did with all of the other kids her age and she really paid attention to the teacher.

Here she is..it's Madilynn's turn to learn to change baby's diaper

Notice the "Big Sister" pin on her dress, I loved it! I got one when I attended the big sister class before Ashlee was born.

Afterwards, back at home we celebrated Michael's actual birthday... Here's just after Madilynn gave Daddy his birthday card

Papa and his friend Gary came into town Monday evening on there way back home from Sturgis. Papa and Madilynn

I think it's bedtime! They all left out on Tuesday morning. I mean "all" and left me and Michael here. We had planned for Madilynn to get to go back to Arkansas for some grandparent time this week. Memaw & Pepaw will be bringing Madilynn back when they come on my birthday and we are going to the Iowa State Fair...can't wait!
