Madison Claire

I went to Nashville on Saturday the 6th (Russell's birthday)  with Steve and Pat.  We had a wonderful visit with Lauren, Ryan and our delightful little 10 months old Great grand daughter Madison Claire. I played with her and fed her - so much fun to have Great grandchildren!  Sunday morning I went to church with Lauren, Steve and Pat.  Ryan had not been feeling well so he and Madison stayed home. We all enjoyed watching the Super Bowl that evening.

By bedtime, Pat was not feeling well and before long she had a full blown stomach viris!  She was so sick!  We had planned to get on the way back early this morning, but Steve had to have something checked on his suburban and that took awhile.  By the time we got on the way, Steve was beginning to have some of Pat's symptoms! They dropped me off here at about 4:40 and were soon on their way. He called from Roswell to say that he had begun to upchuck when he got to his driveway. Poor kids!

Madison is simply adorable.  She has a big wide smile with four teeth.  The two lower teeth are in the middle with the uppers at the side just like her Great Aunt Lynn's were!  She is such a pleasant baby. They put her to bed and she just entertains herself until she falls asleep; then wakes up with a big smile.  The nursery is upstairs while the master bedroom is on the first floor.  They have a TV with a monitor so that they can see her in her crib.


Lauren works and has her office at home. She does have occasional out of town business trips so they have a nanny to help with Madison. Her name is Annie and she is a lovely young lady recently out of college. Annie is very good with Madison. Ryan is a teacher and coach at Christ Presbyterian Academy in Nashville. Madison is getting around all over the first floor and is very nearly ready to start walking. She is a busy little body now and I can just imagine how lively things are going to be when those little legs stat running all over the place!

Bruce planned a Valentine party for the Sunshine club tomorrow.  I have dental appointments so I will miss it!
