Oh where to start it has been so long since I lasted posted.
For one, can you believe it is 2012!!! I can't. Wow, these years are really starting to fly by.
On the Madelyn front
She is officially three years old!!! I cannot believe it. She still amazes us every day. She is an incredibly intelligent, full of energy, lovable little girl. She is constantly telling us she loves us and gives hugs and kisses! I love it! She had her birthday party at pump it up this year and had a blast.
At three years old she is…
Potty trained
Can count to 20
Can count to 5 in Spanish
Knows her ABC’s
Knows her colors
Knows all her shapes, including hexagon, octagon, oval and cube J
Can spell her name
Recognizes certain letters and is starting to say a word and then asks what it starts with. She tells us that she starts with “M” all the time. It’s cute.
Just life in General
Life is starting to slowly settle down. I am still not sure that I recognize this as my life yet, but am working on it. We made it through the holidays and this is the first year, in I don’t know how long that I did not go to Corpus. Some days I have to remind myself that it is not a dream and that my dad died! I can’t even say that, it sounds so foul.
The 15th my grandmother has been gone a year and yesterday, the 16th it has was seven months for my dad and tomorrow the 18th marks a full year that I have not seen him. Just can’t imagine going through the rest of my life never seeing him again, never hearing him say “Hello Amy-Lou” or even his famous “What’s up buttercup”. I miss him so much! Life does go on, there is now a before and after in my life. What life was once before and what life is now. One step at a time, right?
That’s it for now… I am sure there will be lots more to come.
