September 28, 2005

A day that changed our lives forever.  It meant pink and not blue.  The day we found out our little blessing would be a girl.

Madison Grace Bowers you are a joy and a treasure that we pray we will never take for granted.

Here's a few of my favorite photos. 

Thank Heaven for little girls.

Fire Station No. 7

Gainesville Fire Station No. 7 welcomed our MOPS group today and a good time was had by all, well almost everyone, we did have a few tears here and there.

Do you know the emergency numbers.  Raise your hand.

Madison raising her hand without even knowing the answer.  But they all did learn it together.  911

What do you do when you see smoke, stop and get down low.  Here is Madison low.  Then we got to see the fire house and have a mock fire with smoke where we all practiced getting low and getting out safe.

Then Miss Kelly got to get dressed up in real fire gear.

Her little girl Lily didn't really like that idea very much.

After the visit to station 7 we went to the park to play with Lily and Ava.  Then we enjoyed a lunch at Mc Donald's.

Ok funny to share:  At the park there was a little girl named Savannah that wanted to play with Madison she kept calling her name and would cry when Madison would get a little distance away from her, well anyway Madison recently "discovered" that she was born in Alabama and she was calling the little girl Alabama.  I was proud that at least she was calling the little girl the name of an actual place especially since Madison doesn't really even know where Savannah is or have we ever talked about it.  Guess we will have to take her there and show her how pretty it really is.

Creatures of Creation

Last night at church we had a great opportunity to see Dan Breeding with Creatures of Creation.  Madison loves animals so we just had to take her.  IMG_2654

We saw an African Porcupine female that weighed 55 lbs.

That was too funny to see and we had the perfect angle for the perfect shot.

And of course Auggie the Alligator.

I captured this photo while Madison was watching the Gibbon that was swinging right in front of her.  I think she prefers her animals behind bars or mesh.

IMG_2715

You can see that her baby blues are seriously watching that animal while she was clinging to my chest.
