This is GW and Maddy's footprints. the ones on the left is GWs. on the right is Maddy's. GW's foot prints are LOOOOOONNNNNNGGGG and skinny. Maddy's was the complete opposite. 
He wanted to nurse and stay awake all night. poor parents. we all are hoping tonight will be better! 
He was busy looking around. he looks so different from our Maddy girl. What's funny is that Elena is in the same room that she was in when she had Maddy! 
and here is our little Maddy! she was letting me comb her hair. next thing I knew, she brought me a long piece of ribbon. she wanted it in her hair! she is not too sure about me, but she has given me a kiss! shared a sandwich! and let me tickle her! I even got her ready for bed!! 
Now for the adventure part of the day. by the time I got down to get my luggage, we waited maybe 2 minutes and the carousel started beeping that the luggage is here! i am standing there, and here comes my luggage. 2 pieces. both rolling carts - 1 black with a metallic ribbon on the handle, the other red and grey! I go out to the curb, Ashton picks me up and we o to the hospital! we visit, take pics and leave to come home. we play with Maddy a bit, then off to a family birthday dinner for Elena's mother. come home, start organizing my luggage. I open the black one and no baby stuff, no baby quilt, no present for Maddy! someones clothes are in my bag! oops! not my bag! called and explained what happened. Now Ashton is on his way back to the airport...... sigh........ the poor woman is probably beside herself. I feel sooooo bad! not fun to travel and not have your stuff!!! 
a few weeks ago, I posted a triple irish chain quilt that I saw and fell in love with! I want soooo badly to make this quilt. so, I joined a swap of 1 1/2 " squares. do you know how tall a stack of 50 are? well, lookee here!!!!!
