I can't believe it is already May! I apologize for not posting anything new in April...time gets away from me easily these days. We are all doing well and enjoying the springtime weather and playing outdoors. In April we took Maddie to the Denver Zoo for her first time. We were blessed with glorious weather and lots of family from AAC and Denver that joined us for a fun-filled day. That morning started out with Maddie's first Easter egg hunt at Eaton's town park, which was funny to watch. About 5000 candy filled eggs were strewn about in the grass and about 200 kids were let loose and snatched them all up in about 2 minutes! Maddie got her fair share, thanks to a few kind people who felt bad she wasn't getting many. Truth be told, she was just happy with the one egg she picked up and running all around in the grass outside! Then on to Denver where we met Aunt Marnie and cousin Marcus and our extended AAC family for a picnic lunch and a day at the zoo. Then off to downtown Denver and BD's Mongolian BBQ for a nice dinner with the rest of the family to celebrate Grandpa Mike's birthday. What a whirlwind of a day that was!

We celebrated Easter with a delicious brunch at Marnie's house with her family and Grandma & Grandpa. Maddie loved running around the back yard and climbing the steps on the deck and the stairs inside. Needless to say, she keeps me running! I will feel better once she masters coming down the stairs the right way!

Well, that about sums up our month of April. Maddie continues to grow and explore and simply amaze us every day. She is verbalizing alot more now and really trying to talk. She is very busy and very intelligent. She loves to dance and sing and stomp her feet and run!

More pictures and updates coming soon! Love to everyone, K&M
