February, where do the months go ?

It is february 10 and our last post was in december, time seems to slip by so quickly now. Madison is a mere 15 months and has already grow past the baby stage and is turning into a child, she loves to run outside and touch everything and loves to play with other kids, although she hasn't realized how to play with kids her own age as i witnessed in sunday school. Some may say this a result of my constant play fighting and generally bugging the crap out of her. I say it is because she isn't wimpy and just wants someone who is as "sturdy" as her to play with. I think Joel breedveld would be good company (for those who know him). Angelika is back at work and so am i, so Madison gets to stay with our in-laws during the week, which we are quite thankfull for. We are going to Renovate our basement and put a bathroom downstairs, so we started ripping stuff out and are looking forward to a second bathroom. Thats all for now we will attempt to keep posting regularly, but dont get your hopes up. The pictures are madison in some snow gear and rain gear, Drinking some starbucks while waiting to see the new ferry, and her new little house which we made and she likes to play in, pretty sure if we ever buy a new fridge she will go nuts over the size of the box

Snow and Van Dusen Gardens

We took a few shots of Maidson plowing through the snow we had recently, she got a little sled and she liked just sitting there unable to move because of her huge jacket. A week ago we went to the Van Dusen gardens for the festival of lights, there was a ton of lights and madison had some company as we went with our cousin and her two kids. Now we are getting ready for Christmas and all the get togethers before hand so it wil be an exciting few weeks.

Madison turns 1

Madison turned one yesterday and today we had a little celebration with our families. She stuffed some cake in her face ( she was a little hesitant at first as if she knew it was something she wasn't aloud to do, but it didn't take long until the realization set in) and enjoyed herself, but who wouldnt when you get spoiled. heres a few photos

wow, its been a while. Jake and i have been to alaska for a week and left Madison with Oma and Opa Lange for that time. Then two weeks later/last week, Auntie Michelle, Auntie Gabi and I took Madison on her first camping trip to Golden Ears (alouette lake)

These last two are just cute. Madison doesn't want to play in here little bathtub anymore.
Well, thats our update, hopefully that will last for a couple more months!!!
