More Catching Up

I don't really have a good reason for not keeping up with the blog.
We do take pictures, but some of the events didn't seem "blog-worthy"
so I have been saving them up to create one big post. I know,
I know, more small posts more often would be better...I think I'm just lazy.

Madelyn in her Easter dress that Great-Grandma Millie
gave her LAST YEAR! It finally fit.

Elisha at the Million Egg Hunt the Saturday before Easter.
It was freezing, so Madelyn and I stayed in.
Jim said there were kids there in flop flops and without coats.
Maybe next time, they should give out coats, socks, and shoes.

Madelyn and Great-Grandpa Bowman on Easter.

Madelyn's first experience with crayons.
She did try to eat them, so I guess she's not
ready for unsupervised art time...yet.

Grandma Judy stopped by and Madelyn loved wearing her gloves around.

Elisha did this puzzle and all by himself. I'm not exaggerating;
I checked on him and found it was done - amazing!

Jim and I often take the kids for walks on the IWU campus.
A few weeks ago, we finished and discovered that Madelyn
had dropped (or possibly thrown) her pacifier out of the stroller.
We walked again a couple of weeks later and FOUND IT on the side
of the road. We won't be using it again; but I saved it for the story.

Math Competency

I'm not sure I should be excited that I could pass 8th grade math; but, I must confess, that I was proud (surprised, actually) that I got a perfect score. My brain just doesn't get that much exercise in algebra these days...you can try it for yourself if you click on the link.
