Hey Jeff... It's Your Birthday!! :)


Today, the father of my children, the love of my life, my very best friend... my OLD Man turns 35!!
Hard to believe he was only 27 when I met him, and I was only 22... now here we are, 8 years later... 30 and 35! My how the time does fly!
I can honestly say, he's getting better with age... every day, like a fine wine! I imagine, I can't drink wine... it gives me migraines... but that's besides the point!

Jeff, I love you honey!! I would marry you all over again!! Thank you for making every single one of my dreams come true! For working so hard, day in and day out to provide for your family! You are a wonderful father, friend and husband! I respect you, admire you, and love you more and more with each passing day!

So today, I raise my glass to you... my Guy! I love you honey, HaPpY BiRtHdAy!! :) XOXO
P.S. Look'n GOOD Baby, you still got it!!!

Welcome to the World Madison Marie


Here she is!
Our 8 pound, 4 ounce, 21 & 1/2 inches of pure heaven in a blanket!
Madison Marie Sugden made her debut on September 11th, 2009 at 9:53pm (CST).

She is so sweet, rarely cries! Sleeps great, nurses great... I really have no complaints!
She's just an angel! Cutest little dimples... dark blue eyes... we're watching to see if they change. Her big brother's adore her, as do Jeff and I! So far, the only animosity in the house is towards me for being a baby hog! I just can't put her down! But I really must learn to share!! Hee hee....

Our family feels so complete now! We've got two great little men, and now a little lady!
Everyone is healthy and doing well... what more could we ask for!?

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that we have 3 children, 4 years and under...
I know it will be crazy (understatement) and yet, somehow... I know we will make it through!

We will because that's just what you do! And when it's all said and done, I know I will remember these times as the fondest of them all, and would do anything for just one of these crazy days back!

So there will be a lot of noise, a lot of love, laughter and tears... so be it! Here we go... I'm ready for the challenge! That's what life is all about! Please remind me of this next month when I might be tempted to blog otherwise, HA ha... :)

Just want to take this opportunity to thank my sister in law Debra and my Mom... for flying out here to be with us before and after Maddie's arrival!
They kept us all sane, fed, clean and happy as we embraced the next chapter in our life,
as a family of FIVE! :)
THANK YOU!!!!!

And thank you to all of our family and friends for your thoughts and prayers!!!
That means you, Grandma... your poor rosary must be worn thin! We sure appreciate it!!

All Our Love,
Jeff, Mel, A.J., Jack & Maddie Sugden
