So, yesterday was Trish’s first official Mothers Day as a mom. Saturday night I took Madelyn and went to bed to keep her for the night, and assumed that Trish would try and get a full night of sleep in the guest room. Apparently I was wrong on that as she came up to bed at 9:30 AM and told me that she had not yet gone to bed, she had spent the whole time without the two of us cleaning the house (she actually told me she enjoyed this time by herself). So I just want to let her know that we all appreciate having a clean house and it looked great. Seeing as Trish didn’t go to bed till the morning we got a little bit of a late start to the day and ended up getting take out from her favorite Mexican place for lunch. Then we finished the last bit of cleaning on the house and waited for my cousin Elizabeth to get 
there. Elizabeth just graduated from OSU with her degree in Human Development and Family Sciences (Congrats), and is in KC to interview for an internship at Children’s Mercy. We then went over to Mary and Randy’s house for a BBQ and to hang out with their family. As always we had a great dinner and good time seeing everyone. Before we got there one of the boys had caught a snake and they were having a pretty good time playing with it. I saw Trish looking at it and I could tell by the look in her eyes that she was extremely disappointed that Madelyn was too young to take a turn playing with the newest pet. Oh well, I am sure there will still be some snakes to play with when she is a little older. When we came home yesterday night Trish opened her gift, and we went to bed. Apparently Madelyn didn’t sleep all that well, because at 6:15 Trish woke me up told me it had been a long night and asked me to feed the baby. I did get her fed and put her back in the bassinet, but the way she was smiling and laughing I am not so sure Trish got any more sleep.
Needless to say Madelyn got pretty lucky to come into this world with a mother like Trish. I think she knows she has got it pretty good as she has been a content and quiet baby since the day she was born. Yesterday when we were at Aunt Mary and Uncle Randy’s house she cried for about 5 minutes and Trish thought that something had happened to her, as this was the longest she had ever cried. I think in reality her mom just does an exceptional job and she doesn’t have to cry much. Hopefully she keeps this up as it has made my life pretty easy and enjoyable. Thanks Trish, you are doing an awesome job, and I do recognize and appreciate it, even if I don’t say it enough.
