Maderville

11 months
I can't believe that Landry is already 11 months old! It actually happened on Monday but my super long blog entry could not take one more word.
I am in party planning mode now. Actually, I have been planning her birthday party since July but whose keeping track?! I just got her invitations in yesterday and they will go out sometime later this week. I am very excited about her(my) party. They say that the first birthday party isn't really about the kid...it's about the parents...or in this case I have to admit, me. I want for her everything that I didn't have and more. Mike gently reminded me that she wasn't getting married. :) If you know anything about me then you know I love to throw a good party. I have never been one to say no to helping for an event and this one is going is no exception....it is going to be grand! I'll give you a hint by saying it's going to be a Winter ONE-derland! As I plan this out I find myself excited and at the same time a little sad. Where did all the time go? Where is my little squeaker...my little blob that just laid there and didn't move. I'll tell you where she is. She just ran over me with her cute new boots! She is not walking anymore. She is running....literally. She knows where her nose and her ears are and sometimes where her head is and she just gets smarter and smarter every day. She is so amazing to me.

BTW...my friend Theresa's daughter Audrey is in the hospital tonight with pneumonia. Please pray for her and her family as they get through this ordeal. She had a fever of 106.8 the other night and it finally dropped to 103. She needs prayer so please be thinking of this little girl as she recovers from this. Thanks...r
