I still can not get over that my little tiny baby is 11! Everyone always tells you that time flies and they will be big before you know it, and it's so true. Madalyn has changed the most I feel over the past year. She is such a help, has a softness that never existed before, but still has that "Don't mess with me attitude." She has a huge heart and tries hard to understand all that goes on around her. Happy Birthday Madalyn! I love you!!!</div>

Honestly I'm not sure what I would do without my 2nd mom! She is always a phone call away and willing to spend time with the girls. She has taught them skills I can't and they often ask to go there to spend time with her. She raised an amazing man, who I love to pieces! I'm so thankful for her and today is her BIRTHDAY! Happy birthday Mom! I hope you had an amazing day, you deserve it!</div>

I can't believe we have a 13 year old in our house this morning! Marissa make me feel blessed to be a Mom. She is one amazing TEENAGER...I can't believe that applies to her now! LOL So many changes have been thrown at her this past year, and she has taken it all with no problem. Her heart is amazing and I'm so grateful for the compassion that she has! She is an amazing big sister, who is always willing to lend a helping hand. Marissa has become quite the baker this year! Happy birthday to my 1st baby! I'm so proud of you!</div>

Doug got me a necklace this past month that means the world to me. It has disks with all the kiddos that we have had the honor of being a part of their lives. I love getting up in the morning, putting it on, and praying for each kiddo. </div>

Every Saturday, Marissa has been getting busy in the kitchen. We usually get to try out a new recipe of some sort. We've had applesauce muffins, apple fritter bread, old fashioned donut bread...I can't remember what else. I'm proud of her and she does an amazing job!!! We don't complain a bit being her guinea pigs either! ;)</div>

P.S. I believe this is the last picture I have with Madalyn in her glasses that she has been sporting for the past 3ish years! She decided that she thinks she is all done wearing them. I have mixed feelings about it, but I've kept them to myself! haha</div>

Doug's Dad saw an advertisement somewhere for this at Jefferson Community College, and so we made a game plan to spend the day there. It was amazing! Far more to do than we had time for, and the kids LOVED it! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The laser light show was a hit for sure. The teacher for this "class" was extremely good with kids and very easy to listen to and follow. Doug and I sat in the back with the baby, but if you look close you can see the crew 4 rows down from us. </div>

I wish I could be there with you this morning to have birthday "hot coco" (even if I don't like it!). Thanks for being you. I used to think it was odd growing up when people said their mom was their best friend, but I totally get it now! Thanks for always being there for me. I feel very blessed to call you my mom. I love you! I hope you have an amazing day!!!</div>

This have definitely changed around here since August when we officially started having a little one in care. It's been different, but good. Doug told someone the other night that our little one has been a huge blessing to us and it's so true! I think all 4 of us have learned something in this journey. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everyone is adapting to our new normal really well. Marissa and Madalyn haven't skipped a beat and are doing great with their school...amidst some challenges that 7th grade has brought with it. Even the animals have grown fond of another little one and are no longer startled by the new noises and such. Doug and I are both starting to sleep through the night again ;) We have been getting roughly 7-8 hour stretches at night, sometimes even 10. I'm trying not to get used to it in case it doesn't stick around. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you all for the thoughts, prayers, and items. We have been so blessed by clothes, toys, blankets, finances, babysitting...God is good! Thank you all! We couldn't do this alone! Not a day goes by that we don't think about how blessed we really are.<br />

She always acts like a puppy again when she gets stripped. If she actually does drop as much as it looks like she does, I guess I can understand why!!! It's nice to have a puppy back again instead of the yak I've been living with!</div>

I dropped the ball this year. Fall has really crept up on me! We didn't get to carve pumpkins this year, even though we grew 9 of them in the compost pile! Oh well, they made for pretty decorations on the front porch! :) To make up for it, we opted to make sugar cookies. The girls took it as a good fill in!</div>

A couple weeks ago, one of the teens from our youth group got married in Michigan. I would say Doug and Abraham are pretty tight, so we of course made the trip down. It was nice to get away and spend some time in the camper on our last trip before it gets stored for the winter. We stopped and saw my twin brother and his family on the way down. It worked out so good. It was perfect timing for the baby to be ready to eat. It was nice to be able to visit with the family, and meet the newest member! It's also the 1st time that I have seen the new house in person. I was really bad and didn't get the camera out though :( </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We spent a couple days in Michigan at a really cute campground. We even got to test out their corn maze! We had a great time and scored on another friendly place to stay. We have been very blessed on our RV parks! On the way back home, we stopped in Buffalo and saw some more family. We stayed at my cousins place with her family,. She had a bonfire that night and invited a bunch of my aunts. It was last minute so not many came, but it was nice to see those that did. I got to see one of my cousins that I haven't seen in YEARS, and meet his soon-to-be-wife! It was really nice to spend time with family that we never see. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures while we were here either....I definitely need to get back into taking pictures! We ended our visit with breakfast with my grandparents and a few hands of cards along with pie at their house.<br />
The trip was short, but it was so nice to get away! We needed some check out time for sure! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A few weeks back, Doug and Marissa headed to Maine for my Aunt Maria's funeral. Baby girl was not feeling 100%, and it was going to be a very quick trip so we opted to stay back. Madalyn made the decision to stay with me and my mom surprised us by coming down and spending the day with us! We had such a good time and I really enjoyed our afternoon. It was way too short as always, but it was really nice. </div>

Happy Birthday to my BEST FRIEND! I think back to that monopoly game in my dorm room, fast forward to our 1st kiss, our wedding day...I thought I loved you so much then. Boy was I wrong! If it keeps growing like it has, I can't imagine what it will be like when we are old! I'm so thankful for you, for your heart, for how on spot we are with each other! I love you!!! (P.S. I think his birthday should land on a Friday every year...I'm not sure if it's just because its a Friday, or if its because he has been gone all week, but I'm so excited for him to get home!)</div>

Marissa was working on Math today and she is starting Algebra beginnings. She needed to write the correct algebraic expression for each word phrase. Her problem was the difference when a number n is subtracted from 15. She wrote n-15 and I was trying to explain to her that that was incorrect. That problem would be worded as 15 is subtracted from a number n. We went back and forth a couple times and Madalyn finally piped up with her words of wisdom. She says, "It's pretty easy Marissa! If you take "n" away from fifteen, it makes it fiftee!" At first I just thought she was being a smarty, but then I realized she was being 100% serious! LOL </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Algebra should be fun with her!</div>

For our field trip this month, we headed back to our local state park and hiked the small trail they have. The kids love it, and it's great for a wide range of ages. </div>

During our day in Old Forge, Grandma and the girls were on the hunt for some pretty leaves for a project. We did this project as kids, but Mom and I both decided that we think the wax paper is different now than it was so they didn't turn out perfect, but the girls had fun regardless! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Doug had mentioned wanting to take this hike again, so when a beautiful weekend came along and the leaves had begun changing, we took the opportunity and went! My parents came with us. It actually worked out perfect. Mom had an appointment in Watertown Friday, so since that is only about 45 minutes from our place, they drove down, picked up the girls and took them for ice cream (Doug and I were at a youth group event) and then spent the night. We were able to head to Old Forge together and enjoy the day. It was warm, but since the humidity was low, it was not unbearable. Thanks Mom for the pictures! <3 :)</div>

I kinda want to go again! I loved it so much. This is the second time we went, but it was just as good the second time. We headed into town and ate at a super cute place right in Old Forge. We got to eat at a table outside and the dogs even got to sit with us. I'm so glad we decided to take them. I was iffy on it, but Doug thought we should. They got along with all the dogs except one, and behaved perfectly. We didn't have to worry about them getting hot at dinner time since they got to eat with us so it was perfect! I'm not sure if Mom and Dad would do it again...I haven't asked how they felt the next day, but I'm thankful they decided to hike it with us!</div>

Marissa did a phenomenal job! Grandma Benedict helped her out a little bit, but Marissa did most of it by herself by following the pattern. Madalyn became the proud owner and couldn't be happier! I'm so proud of Marissa and her talent and willingness to learn!</div>
