We traveled to Muskegon on Friday to see our new niece, Madalynn and to take Martha and Jaina to meet their Great Grandma. My brother, sister-in-law, and Madalynn joined us at my parents' house to celebrate an early Easter dinner and for all the new cousins to meet. Madalynn is so beautiful. I almost started crying when I saw her because she is just so precious! Madalynn looks just like she fits perfectly into our family. In fact, she looks so much like our girls that Sabra was a little confused until we pointed out that there were three babies!
Madalynn has been having some problems gaining weight, but my brother and his wife are doing all they can to make sure she nurses a lot and are giving her formula until she can get her weight up. We continue to pray not only for her healthy growth, but also for the breastfeeding to get easier for mommy and baby.
My Grandma, the girls' Great Nana, was delighted to get to see Martha and Jaina for the first time. Grandma was moved into a nursing home about a year ago and loves to not only have company, but absolutely loves when the great-grandkids come for a visit. She thought Martha and Jaina were beautiful and completely precious. She is so thankful to have so many great-grandkids (25 great-grandkids and 1 great-great-grandchild!).
She is looking forward to receiving updated pictures of them as well as the other girls. She really appreciates when the girls color
pictures to send to her. Although she wishes we could visit more often, she understands that driving two hours with seven little girls is a little rough. She wishes we would move closer so we could all visit her more often. She says being around the little ones makes her feel young!
