First solids
Last night we tried to feed Madelyn rice cereal for the first time. She wasn't a fan and we didn't get past one bite ... and even that she spit up. She's 5 1/2 months and seemed ready, but guess we'll try again.

4th of July!
I LOVE 4-day weekends, although it's always difficult to come back to work after them. And they make me miss Madelyn more than usual - But thank you, God, for 4-day weekends!
Jason and I both took Friday off. Madelyn woke up with a low-grade fever and runny nose and cough, so we had a low key morning. That afternoon, I took Madelyn with me to the OshKosh B'Gosh outlet and Carter's outlet stores in Gretna to return/exchange some clothes we got from Grandpa and Grandma Maxson. We got some cute things, but when I got back, I discovered that some of them just aren't long enough for Madelyn. So ... we'll be going back!
Saturday Madelyn turned 5 months old!!! She is working on rolling over from her tummy to her back and laughs so much more now, anticipating a tickle. Jason worked outside much of the day, building steps in our front area, and Madelyn and I went for a walk around Standing Bear Lake. After that, she and I pretty much stayed inside and played. It was way too hot for her to be out.
Sunday was lots of fun as we were in Dodge for the town's 125th anniversary celebration. So many of my Schulte-side cousins were there - like a mini-reunion! The parade was great and I loved catching up with relatives!!!!
Yesterday was one of the more boring July 4th I've experienced in a long time. Normally we go to my aunt and uncle's cabin in Fremont but this year they had other family there. So we hung out at home, went for a drive, stopped by our friends' house and went to the grocery store. Jason made a yummy grilled pork chop, sweet potato, corn on the cob and watermelon meal.
Here are some photo from this weekend:

Every 4th of July weekend should include Uncle Sam!
Daddy and Maddie (Mae) in Dodge
Me and my sister with a favorite cousin, Christine, from Michigan
Madelyn checking out her cousin Henry for the first time
Nana playing with the grandkids
Nephews William and Samuel saluting the flags and veterans as they pass in the parade
Sisters ... sisters ... there were never such devoted sisters ...

Happy 4th of July!
