Madison at age 4


Madison 1 hour old.

I know I'm a little late at posting a birthday post for my little girl, but better late than never.

When she woke up on her birthday I asked her what she wanted to do she said, "Have a Care Bear birthday cake, and go to the gym." Wow we could of got away easy with birthday plans! Instead we took all of her cousins to Lil' Biggs including cousin Jacob from Ohio! The kids had a blast. That afternoon she got to go to Build a Bear and make "Fluffy." He is almost as loved as her Care Bears. Enjoyed super with the Callaways in the evening. She did get a Care Bear cake a couple of evenings later when we celebrated with our fellowship.

She is such a sweet and caring little girl. She expresses her love and thankfulness easy. She loves to pray and often prays out loud for different things like the beautiful snow that we get to play in, for Proud Heart to come home when he is wondering around, and when she hears sirens she prays for the fire fighter and the people they are helping. I love her more everyday! She is my little burst of sunshine.

I asked her these questions on her birthday:

favorite food: corn
favorite color: pink
favorite person in the Bible: she said God and I explained to her God is spirit and than she changed her answer to Mary.
favorite direction: east (she is fascinated with directions right now)
favorite vehicle: Daddy's truck
favorite letter: M
favorite toy: CARE BEARS
favorite animal: Proud Heart Kitty
best friend: Cloe and Olivia

Oh so much personality!

Catching Up





Finally I am taking the time to write about all the Callaway Happenings. A lot has happened since I last posted. The holidays were GREAT! For Christmas the Patch family joined the Callaways in Colorado. Deb's parents Anthony and Carol Patch and her sister, Sarabeth joined stayed at Ed and Cindys home. (picture posted above) It was a sweet time to get to know the Patches better. They are a very positive, outgoing, and fun family. Madison took Carol as another Grandma and enjoyed playing, reading, and ice skating with her.

The Kerr side of our family had a blast with all the kids. My Dad made the girls a doll house and the boys toy boxes. M and C love the doll house and I love it because they will enjoy it for a long time when the outgrow playing with dolls they can use it as a bookshelf!

My recycled gifts for the girls were a big hit. I purchases a box of gently used Care bears for Madison and she was thrilled! Caroline is still having a ball with the doll station I got at a yard sale. The cleaned up picnic table turned into an art table still gets used daily and the easel usually displays a bible verse on the chalk board and Madison paints on the other side every opportunity she gets. I got both the table and easel for free and spent very little to clean them up. It was very exciting to reuse items and give as gifts to the girls.

Well thats Christmas, plenty for now soon I will write about birthdays and New Years!
