Baby Madore #3 arriving in November!

Feeling pretty well overall.   Definitely feeling the naps these days.  

Following In Our Footsteps

Today we bought our Christmas tree and photographed our family Christmas card.  Look who wanted to help photograph.

Sam does a great job actually with photographing.  She remembers the little things that we're pretty surprised that a 6 year old would know.  For example, making sure there's not clutter in the background of the picture.  Keep up the good work Sam!

Oh the Sweet Things Kids Will Draw

Over the weekend Jeremy and I photographed a wedding.  Samantha loves to hear all about our experiences and see the photographs once they are processed.  After the wedding was over, the girls and I found ourselves outside in the driveway with our bucket of sidewalk chalk.  Here are some of my favorite creations that the Madore-ables made:

"Daddy and Mommy On Their Wedding Day" - By Samantha

"Daddy and Mommy" - By Sarah

Family

For the last few weeks, we've been fortunate to have my Grandmother (a.k.a Nanny Olive) from Florida up at our house to visit.  We haven't been able to see her since 2009 when Samantha was just two years old and Sarah was just 8 months old. 

During her visit, we were able to grab some 4-generation photos.  The Madore-ables had a great time while Nanny O was here and were very sad that she had to go home to Florida.

A very Merry Christmas!

Easter 2011

For Easter this year, we celebrated the day at my Mom's house along with my brother. Mom cooked us a very yummy meal, and for the first time in a long time, we decided not to have ham this year. Instead, we went out on a limb and decided to go with something less traditional: a barbeque. You heard me correctly. Marinated steak tips and boneless pork ribs. Yummm. I'm hungry again just thinking about it.

Easter was also special this year for a second reason, as it was Jeremy's birthday. We had a really fun day. The day started off with candles and singing Happy Birthday and the day ended with us singing Happy Birthday.

Here are a few of my favorite photos from the day:

Hunting for eggs around Nanny's yard. I think there were over 3 dozen eggs hidden for both the Madore-ables...they were excited over every one! There were some goodies that didn't fit inside the eggs, so Mommy left a special note inside the egg to come see her...

The girls were really excited about their new Dora the Explorer sunglasses, Play Doh & Samantha was especially excited over her new Hello Kitty rain boots. Mommy & Daddy were excited about the jelly beans and the Reese's butter eggs. YUM!

My very handsome husband and my two beautiful girls for a family Easter portrait
(It's SO hard to get both the girls to smile and look at the camera at the same time)

Sarah - 2 years & 4 months

Merry Christmas!

From our house to yours

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!






No need for figgy pudding ; )

My Beautiful, Madore-able Family

Back on August 1st, our very good friend Jeremiah (who photographed Jeremy's and my wedding) photographed us once again for a family portrait. We decided that we should photograph at one of our favorite beaches: Plum Island Beach Reservation in Newburyport, Massachusetts.

The girls were singing The Itsy Bitsy Spider

The handsome love of my life...I blame him for making my life so complete and happy

My absolute favorite photo of the Madore-ables

Thank you Jeremiah!!
