Horse Bite

A couple of people have asked me to elaborate on the "horse bite" comment. We were at a petting zoo in Indiana and basically one of the mini horses decided to chomp on MJ's little hand! He must have decided baby fingers were delicious. We pulled her hand out of his mouth stat but it was quite dramatic. As most of you who know me know I had my sleeve pulled on by a monkey when I was seven years old, and these things don't leave you. Part of me still feels like there are monkeys somewhere out to get me.

And the baby goats were so gentle!

Kentuckiana Trip

I just wanted to write a quick post about our trip to Kentucky/Indiana. We had a great time, and Madison partied like a champ the whole trip. She never swayed from her happy, sunny self despite being: bitten on the hand by a horse(!), suffering some sort of midwestern-air type of allergy, and staying up waaaay past her bedtime a few nights in a row. :) She loved seeing her Nana and PawPaw and would randomly walk up and hug Nana at unexpected times, making it extra cute. Madison loves making her stuffed animals and toys hug and kiss, but the real thing is the best kind! She also loved meeting Great Gran, Great Aunt Lisa, Great Aunt Anita, and all the other relatives east of the Rockies!

The Elf at Play

So I guess I didn't have any takers for my "Easter moments" blog..... That was my attempt at user participation on here. Don't be shy people!
And to make up for the no-pics entry last time, I will now happily post some pics! These are just random pictures from clearing out my memory card in preparation for our big trip to Kentuckiana! We leave tomorrow! Hope the plane ride is smooooooth sailing :)

First 5k - out at the Res w/ Mommy. It was coooooooold! The Elf has a red nose! Eating ice cream at the end

We got to meet Dinger at halftime, but the Elf was not into it

And last but not least, here is Madison modeling a dress I just finished making for her (plus blocks & pillow). I was so proud! Yay for sewing machines!
