Fun Times

Children are such a blessing from the Lord. Who knew you could have so much fun with a spoon full of applesauce. We wished we had more video of this because it kept getting funnier with each bite. I almost had as much fun listing to Mariah laugh! Enjoy....

SURPRISE!!!!!!

Sorry for not posting in a couple of weeks. There has been a lot going on to catch y'all up on. One of the main reasons I have fallen behind in posting is because I haven't been feeling very well and have been unusually tired. Well come to find out, I am not technically sick. The Frantz family got a great surprise last week.... Madeline is going to be a big sister come June! If the home pregnancy test didn't confirm it completely, I went to the Dr. yesterday and they did an ultrasound. I am almost 7 weeks along and the due date for Baby Frantz is June 28 (exactly 13 months past Madeline's due date). Though we were a bit shocked and overwhelmed at the fact that we will have 2 children about a year a part, we are completely overjoyed and excited. We have always wanted a big family, and its just happening a little quicker than we expected. Here's the first pics of Baby Frantz...

Other happenings since we last posted:

Madeline experienced her first Halloween. The weekend before Halloween we went with the Murrays to the Louisville Zoo. They have a huge Halloween party. The zoo decorates different sections of the zoo as themes from kids movies like Wizard of Oz, Alice in Wonderland, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, and of course all the Disney princesses. It was really cute and we had a lot of fun. Wal-Mart ran out of infant costumes, so I had to be creative and use what we had here and Maddie went as Strawberry Shortcake. Here are some pics from the event:

Maddie's first pumpkin carving (mike really did it!)

You can see other pics from Halloween and the pumpkin patch on our photo journal.

I can't believe Madeline will be 6 months old in about 10 days. She is so much fun right now as she is getting more and more playful. She wants to touch everything and of course it all goes in her mouth. She can sit up all by herself now, and she loves Bailey! She is growing up so fast. That's about all the updates for us right now! Have a great weekend!
