Just another day in the Green Household



















We've been working hard in the yard preparing for Spring. Lots of trimming and cutting. We avoided a freeze this winter...for this we're very thankful. Maddie's a good little helper...raking, dumping, digging and especially being El Jefe with George (there are a couple of pictures with her pointing him the right direction). And yes...we do tend to garden in our PJ's :)

After a hard day of yard work nothing beats dancing with Barney. I hate Barney. Enough said.
I do love Maddie's new doll from my Aunt Patty & Uncle Tom. Her doll's name is Li Li...and she won't let it leave her side. Thanks "An Pa" and "Unc Tom"!! Aunty Patty, Uncle Tom, my cousin Kathy and her 2 kids Dori and Bobby are in for Dori's gymnasics meet. She's REALLY good. More pics to come of our family athlete.
We also said goodbye to some of our size 3 shoes. She's solidly in a 4. She now proudly tells George and me "Big Girl" when we ask if she's a baby. Oh yeah...she's huge. She went to the doctor yesterday and she's a whopping 25 pounds (20%), is 31.75 inches (2%) and her head circumfrence is 45 inches (3%). Now this is the American norms...her doctor Dr. Pamela Bingham (who we LOVE) is getting us the Chinese growth charts. She's pretty average with those. She's cutting another 2 year molar. Boy...the teeth have been non-stop since we've gotten her...but she's always so cheerful.

LOVE it!! Thank you so much for starting a blog. I wished all of our travel mates would!! Maddie is too stinking cute. I love the little direction she was giving George. Z is a DEMANDING director at our house, although I remind her daily that Mama is in charge;)!

Z the pics of Maddie just now and she pointed to herself and said Zoe Zoe.

Maddie is a tiny peanut!! Z is in size 6 shoes! She has huge feet. She is 24 pounds- need to measure her height again. I had no idea that M was so petite!!

I am jealous of your warm weather- snowed a blizzard again today!

Keep up the posts!

Love,
Stacie
