Happy Birthday Daddy & Uncle Chris!

We thought we'd be a little creative this year and make birthday cards.  It's just weird if you do it by yourself, but people love it when it involves a precious baby.  So, we made Chris (July 5) and Cody (July 3) their birthday cards this year.  Poo was very excited to be on the front of a holiday card!

Got a little Jesus in her now...

Madeline got baptized on June 19, 2011 (Father's Day!).  It was the best Father's Day gift we could have given to Cody.  She was baptized at Lea Joyner Methodist Church just like her daddy was.  Cody was baptized by Lea Joyner herself, so this was extra special to have her join this church.  The congregation there has welcomed our little family with open arms, and we couldn't be more blessed to be part of such a wonderful church.

Growing too fast...

Madeline will be 12 weeks tomorrow, and she's developing so quickly.  She laughed for the first time 2 days ago, and it's the funniest little giggle I've ever heard.  She loves being outside, even though it's 103 degrees outside.  So, she can only go out once a day and for a short time.  We're so ready for the fall to get here so we can break out the jogging stroller.  Cody's going to be too cute running with her through the neighborhood.

Madeline Has Arrived!!!

Madeline Elizabeth Rials arrived in the world on April 21, 2011 at 8:22 a.m.  She weighed in at a whopping 8 lbs 3 oz and was 19 1/2 inches long.  She also came with a head full of black hair (wonder where she got that from).  She is the most beautiful little creature, and we could not be happier that she's finally here!

She's almost here!

We thought we could make it to April 27, but this little girl is ready to make her appearance into the world.  We are scheduled to go in for a c-section on April 21 at 8:00 a.m.  She should arrive shortly thereafter.  Can't wait :)
