Last night, I went to Madison’s Back to School Night. It was great! I got to meet a lot of the other moms and see what they will be doing through out the year. I am so excited about her new school and all that they will be learning. Her teacher “Mrs. Belle” wanted each of us to sign up to bring a snack one month that goes along with what they are learning, so I signed up for October to bring something orange and something triangle. We shall see what I can come up with. They also had lots of artwork around the room that the kids had been working on that we hadn’t seen. Yet again, I forgot my camera, so I took one with my phone. This was Madison version of herself. I thought it was pretty good as some kids had their mouths near the eyes. I can’t wait to get some of this home and hung, in her playroom, on her new MASTERPIECES wall.
We now have new handles on the “doora”, so needless to say Madison is very excited. These handles are easier for her to open and if she stands on her tippy tippy toes she can open it without the stool. She now is opening the door, sticking her head in, and saying “Hello Guys”. Just a little insight into our everyday life around the Condon House, which consist right now of A LOT of door opening and closing. Hope everyone is having a great week!
Footprints on the Heart
Some people come into our live
and quickly go.
Some people move our souls to dance.
They awaken us to new understanding
with the passing whisper of their wisdom.
Some people make
the sky more beautiful to gaze upon.
They stay in our lives for awhile,
leave footprints on our hearts
And we are never, ever the same.
I came across these precious footprints of our sweet B today and thought I would share. I can’t begin to explain how much he has left footprints on our hearts. We think about him everyday and miss him SO. Even though these footprints may be small, the love that fills our hearts for him is so BIG! MISS YOU SWEET B!!
So this weekend, we headed to Atlanta with my family for the Clemson/Auburn football game. This is always so much fun to go out of town with my family. We had a jam packed weekend filled with Braves games, shopping, dinning, and football. Friday night, the guys headed to the Braves game, while the girls went out to eat and hit the park. Madison loved the playground and capped off evening with meeting Phillip Phillips. We were playing in the park, on the playground, and he just happened to be singing in the park. As he was leaving, he stopped and talked with Madison. This sent the 16 year old girls following him into a tizzy. They were so jealous that he was talking with Madison and not them. Saturday, we headed to the aquarium bright and early. All I have to say is AMAZING!! This aquarium is the best that I have ever been too. They have some of the neatest creatures and the dolphin show is amazing. I wasn’t able to capture many photos, but I did get a few. We loved being able to go into the penguins, stand next to the whale shark(HUGE), and enter into many of the fish exhibits via looking bubbles. After the aquarium, we headed to IKEA. This was my first experience at IKEA and it was CRAZY!! We had the best time and got lots of great things. I still can’t get over how BIG the store is. That night we headed to the game, while GUGU and Madison hit the park again. Once again, she got to meet the band of the night, which was Smash Mouth. They were walking in an walk into the playground to talk with her. She is some kind of celebrity magnet. We had such a great weekend in Atlanta.
Can you find Madison??
