Shopping!

On a beautiful Fall day like today, you just have to go out and take advantage of it. What better way to do so than...shopping!?

Today Madelyn and I had our first of many mother/daughter shopping trips. (A favorite past time of mine, right mom?)

I'm hoping that Madelyn will come to love shopping as much as her mother, because as you can see here...she clearly was not loving it today. :( 

Not only did we get to go shopping, but we went with our good friends, Becky and little JJ. I have visions of Madelyn and JJ growing up together and being great friends. But for now, Becky and I can just stroll them around while they sit there looking so darn cute!

We made it into exactly two stores before Madelyn was screaming for lunch. So we stopped. It took Missy the better part of an hour to finish her bottle before moving on to Starbucks to pick up a Chai Tea...yum! The next stop was Macy's --- but somebody never made it there because somebody was a bit fussy. I bet you can guess which somebody it was! (ahem...I'll give you a clue...see first picture posted above).

 

If you guessed Madelyn was the fussy baby who had to leave the shopping excursion early, you guessed right! At least we had fun while it lasted and we got to go out and enjoy the beautiful Fall afternoon while catching up with a great friend and fellow new mommy - always important! 

On another note, MADELYN SLEPT 8.5 HOURS FOR THE SECOND NIGHT IN A ROW! Now THAT is something to smile about! :) 

(Please pray for night #3!)
