Madilyn in Magnolia

My mom and her siblings had a yard sale this weekend from stuff in Nanny's house. My cousins, Ashley and Sherri, came in from Texas for it. So, we travelled to Magnolia yesterday to see everyone. It's not often we all get together. Not all of us could get together this time, either, due to work and everything....but all the Waller great-grandchildren were there. Before we left, we got a picture of all the great-grandchildren.

From left to right: Luke (age 4), Seth (age 1), Eli (1st grade), Karaline (4th grade), Madilyn (5 months), Wyatt (8th grade), and Karis (age 2).

As you can imagine, getting a great picture was such a task! There should have been someone taking video footage of me, Ashley, and Sherri trying to get pictures....we were making all sorts of noises to get the attention of the little ones! :)

The next time the Waller Clan gets together, we will have TWO new additions to the great-grandchildren! Jody and Janée's baby girl, due November 7 and Kevin and Sherri's baby, due November 18. FUN, FUN!! :)

After we left Magnolia, we went back to my mom and dad's house to spend some time with them, Jody and Janée, and Aunt Joyce. I didn't get any pictures of the family....but we did get one picture of Madilyn in Papa Dale's arms:

We had a great time! Oh...and by the way....Jody and Janée have named their little girl -- Brailyn Amber!

Jennifer has been giving Madilyn tastes of different foods and such. For example, last night Jennifer stuck her finger in her ketchup and honey mustard and gave a taste to Madilyn, whose facial expressions are priceless when she tries them! :) Today Jennifer was eating chocolate pudding and gave a little to Madilyn.

Needless to say, she really enjoyed this! :)

All I have left to say is...... Ashley, Sherri......I BEAT YOU TO THIS POST!! :) HA HA HA!

Those with only one child have time to make blog post when they happen. Those who have three and one on the way don't!!!
