A Long Absence

Hello, all! Originally, the idea was to keep you apprised of all Madeleine activities while Miss Fuss and Mommy were in Texas, but Daddy cannot remember the password to the blog, so no dice. Hopefully we can spend the next few days sharing pictures of our many adventures in Texas.

Both plane rides were pretty uneventful. Little Monster was very good, even sleeping for about half of the time. The other half was spent playing and making friends with any surrounding passengers and flight attendants. The first two days in Texas were spent with Grandma B.J., Grandpa Roger and Uncle Nick. Miss Fuss was unsure of her new surroundings, but warmed up nicely after the first day. Nights and naps were spent in Mom's suitcase, which was just the right size for the goblin. Unfortunately, Mommy forgot to take a picture of that (mostly for fear of waking the crabby girl up) but rest assured, it was a pretty amusing sight. Most days were spent puttering about town, shopping with Grandma B.J., Great-Grandma Chris and Great-Grandpa Dwight, who arrived several days after Mom and Miss Fuss. MJ made out like a little bandit, batting her eyelashes and cooing at Grandma B.J. in order to get all sorts of goodies. Among the winnings were new clothes, a Halloween rubber ducky, several teething rings, and a rather dashing sock lion, who is posing in the second picture with our photogenic darling. More tomorrow, as Mommy is still catching up on sleep from traveling and taking care of a jet-lagged Goblin.
