Today is Sunday, December 10th. We are fully into the holiday spirit now. The stockings have been hung by the chimney with care, and are even being filled with goodies.
The Colts are on TV, but unfortunately they don't look real good today. Jill has made about 300 Christmas cookies, and I have eaten about 30 of them already (that's 10%, but what percent is remaining? What percentage of the remaining cookies have I eaten if I eat another 30?). Sorry about that, I took the GMAT test last weekend, and I now have story problems stuck in my brain.
We haven't posted pictures in a while, which you have no doubt noticed if you check the site often. In the past few weeks our baby has had an ear infection, so we're all fighting to get through that. She has been feeling better lately, though.
These pictures are from last night - we were trying on our Christmas wardrobe. Well, Madelyn was trying on her wardrobe, we were just helping :) I personally like the diaper look, but it will be cold outside, so it's probably not the best fashion choice.
This is Maddie's new favorite pose while on the ground. She has a hold of her feet at all times. She even had her left foot in her mouth yesterday. I had seen pictures of babies doing this, but Maddie hadn't done it yet, so that was pretty cool.
Maddie and Mommy before bathtime. You can see from her expression that Madelyn was kind of skeptical of this whole bath thing...
Check out the enthusiasm. Somebody's excited about getting her picture taken.
You gotta love it.
Thanks for checking in with us.
Tonight we went up to the best New York pizza joint in town. It's Giorgio's, and it's located on the circle in downtown Indianapolis. This picture (above) is the Randi, Jill, Madelyn and Rachel walking down Market St. to the pizzeria. Joe and I were in charge of photography, so it looked like the paparazzi was there. I think the girls liked the attention :)
This is the view (looking west down Market St.) of the Indiana Capitol from the Soldiers and Sailors Monument in downtown Indianapolis.
Maddie was happy to tour the circle and check out the "World's Tallest Christmas Tree". It was a little cold, but we all had a good time, and of course had to stop off at the South Bend Chocolate Company for a shake before we went back home. I guess it just reminds us of our former home...
Joe and Rachel on their way to see the reindeer outside the Hilbert Circle Theatre (it's where the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra performs). Yes, the reindeer are real. They always have two of them on display outside the theatre while their Christmas show is going on.
This is the monument, all lit up. 2 weeks ago we went downtown with our friends to see all the decorations, but some of them had been damaged in a windstorm, and none of the lights were on.
