Vacation!

So, I added lots of pics to make up for the month that I did not blog at all!  We went on vacation!  First, Madelyn and I went to Valpo to visit my parents for a week.  It was nice and relaxing!!!  Then, for the second week, Ryan came up and we all went to Burt Lake!  My parents were able to join us for a few days, and they had a lot of fun!  The cottage was wonderful, as usual, and we got to spend time with Ryan's family.  His parents were there, along with Sean and Meghan, and Paddy and Cormac!  Maddy even got baptized!  It was a great two weeks in the US, and we can't wait to come back and visit!  Enjoy the pics!

Happy First Father's Day, Ryan!

Maddy and I took Ryan out to breakfast yesterday to celebrate Father's Day!  Ryan is such a proud daddy!  We love him so much!

Maddy loves her "dada!!!"

Well, Maddy found her favorite word! "dada!" She can't get enough of it.  Last night, after we put her down to bed for the night, Ryan and I looked at each other and smiled.....it was finally quiet in the house!  haha! We love her talking though!  It is so cute!  She has no clue what "dada" means, but she definitely loves to say it!

Laughing little girl!

Look! Madelyn is laughing!!!!!  Way too cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Love her!

Happy Bday to Mommmmmy!!!!!!

Look at my sweet girl!  She was telling me Happy Bday!
