Vacations






Madison has been quite the traveler. When she was 2 weeks old we bravely drove to Washington to spend the New Years with Grandma and Grandpa Tinsley. She loves her car seat and made the trip with flying colors! She slept from Rexburg to Nampa-then she ate and slept from Nampa to Prosser! What a good girl! It was fun to be with family, Madison loved being spoiled by her Grandma and Grandpa. I loved the help, and extra sleep!
Then came Mid-January and we ventured a bit further. Madison and I made the journey to California! She is such a trooper. She slept the 4 hours on the shuttle to Salt Lake. We spent some time with friends and family for a few days. Thanks to those who housed, drove, fed, and took the time to see us! After making it through airport security(what a nightmare)she slept and woke up when we landed in Long Beach-and then slept til we got back to Visalia.
Since then she continues to be spoiled.(as am I) It had been just over a year since I'd been home-too long, and with 9 weeks left of maternity leave, we took the opportunity to leave the snow and seek out some sun! Sheramie is holding the fort down in Rexburg--staying busy with classes/homework/and study groups. We miss him and will head home soon.
We can take her with us anywhere-she just looks around to see what is going on. It's been about 65 outside, so we can take her on walks and not have to worry about her getting frost-bite!
Today mom and I took some prints of her hands and feet-she's already 6 weeks! We have been blessed with a good baby-she sleeps well at night, about 4-6 hours at a time. She has gotten over her fussy time (which was really only 1-2 hrs in the early evening) She still rolls over a lot, smiles more and even laughs. Grandma and Grandpa Woo have fun getting her to talk back to them. It has been nice to spend time with family.

I can't believe how cute she is. She looks so much like Sheramie in the first picture. I can't wait to see her. The present I got her might not even fit by April! Savanah and Madison are going to be great friends!!

Yay for pictures!! It was so nice to spend time with you before you left for Visalia. I still love little Madison :) She's such a beautiful little baby! I'm glad you've been having such a great time and that Madison is enjoying herself too. Enjoy the warm sun :)

What a beauty! She is getting more adorable every time I see pictures of her. I can't wait until you get back so I can finally see her in person...hopefully we don't get sick again before that happens! That's awesome that she's such a great baby - probably because she's got such an awesome mom!

Traveling when their itty bitty babies is nice. They mostly just sleep.
