May 10 2009, My first mother's day to celebrate. MY bouquet arrived in the evening of May 9th. Mark ordered lavender and yellow roses for mather's day for me. That day my allergies attacked me. However, I managed to sniff my flowers. Then that morning we went to brunch at Shilo Inn. I greeted my Mama as well. We all enjoyed the food esp. for me. But my day had to end early because I had to work that night, but before headed out, I posed a little bit in front of the came with my family.

Dad and Karen Visit us
Mark's Dad and stepmother made a roadtrip to the east to visit their children that live far from them. Their first stop was Killeen, TX. Mark and I are so excited to see them. I saw Mark became a kid a again. Mark and Dad hugged so many times. Dad and Karen checked in to a Hotel since Karen is unable to climb upstairs to the bedroom. They broought their new baby, Tyrany, a chihuahua and shitzu mix. She is very cute and our Cookie and Oreo just loved playing with her. We brought them to an authentic mexican restaurant on their first night and then Cracker Barrel on their second night. Madelynne was just talkative and chuckled when Karen talked to her. It was ajoy to see them and alos for Mark. He wished that he could see his father before he deploys this June. We are blessed to have a loving family.
Madelynne's first vegetable garden and new high chair
Yep! It is a springtime and we have decided to start a vegetable garden, a tradition for us since Mark and I were together. Mark borrowed a rototiller, but it hardly worked. It kept on dying after 10 secs of starting. So we made a trip to Lowes and we found an electric rototiller. This is quieter and made Mark work faster. Mark made 2 vegetable beds for the long beans, green beans, spinach, lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, 'kardis', upo, squash, bittermelon, parsley, and basil. We dressed Madelynne with her hat....she can't stand the brightness of the sun...she is like Manang Ardie who can't stand the sun. ....Hmmmm...We had a little fun at the patio. Madelynne likes to make sounds now. I think she sings too whenever we start singing to her. When the camera is in front of her...she doesn't smile alot...I think she knows that her Mommy is capturing every new event of her life. However, when the camera is not in front of her, she mumbles and smiles a lot. That evening, we pulled up her high chair given by friends where I work. She can't hold herself up yet, but we have her sit by us when we eat dinner sometimes. She pushes herself up or braces herself with her feet at the end of the tray. It is so amazing how she knows how to protect herdelf from falling. She stared at her daddy, maybe she was saying, 'daddy what are you doing to me?,' We all laughed with that look she made to Mark. You all enjoy the pictures.

A Dedication to God
May 2nd, 2009, we dedicated Madelynne to the Lord in Killeen SDA church. Her dress was made from the rest of the materials of my wedding dress by my mother-in-law, Georganne. It was a nice ceremony. Madelynne actually behaved through the service.
