We have been blessed with our wonderful gift this year, Madelynne Ray. Our family felt a little empty then, now it is so full that it is overflowing with love and just enjoying our time as a family. Mark is deploying to Iraq this June, so he is spending as much time as he can to Madelynne becuase he will miss a year of her developments and milestones within this time frame.
Grandpa Paul ariived from the Philippines on April 21st, a day after Madelynne's 3rd month. Grandpa Paul saw how his youngest granddaughter have grown within a month of his absence. Grandma Feliza takes care of Madelynne during the day while I sleep to go to work at night. Then Mark takes care of his daughter when I work. This month of May I have requested to Work during the day so that I can spend the nights with my family before Mark leaves for Iraq on June. Mark also have been preparing our vegetable garden for this summer.
Madelynne likes to dress up and ride in our family car. It seems that it is relaxing to her and falls asleep during the smooth ride. She like us to read books to her. We bought her nursery rhymes, Jesus books and her Bible lesson. Couple of my co-workers bought her good books to read as well. She follows the pages whenever we turn them and she mumbles along as we read. Sometimes, we here her singing to herself. She's got strong bones. She likes to stand up and down on our laps everyday. We love to see her smiles whenever we talk to her. We speak to her in English, but Mama speaks to her in Ilocano. She still loves her little hammock that's swinging on her crib. She is serious in front of the camera. Enjoy her pictures.
