Shrek-fest

Tonight we continued the "Shrek-fest" with "Shrek the Third."  Tomorrow night is "Shrek Forever After."  Don't ask me why Madison wanted to watch the first one in the first place - it may have been a seasonal thing.  Two winters ago, we had our Shrek Chia Pet Project in full gear, so perhaps she was missing that a little.  Actually, she's never seen the first two movies - and it's been a while since we saw them too.  So it was fun for all of us.

Today was a work day for Daddy, but it was good to get a Skype call from Mommy and Madison about halfway through.  They both said they missed Daddy, which was sweet.  Work didn't last as long, so Daddy was able to come home and go through some of the normal rituals of piano practice and even a video game or two.  We actually were able to finish the Disney Fairy story this evening, so that's a wrap on that.  We didn't like this one as much as the first, although things got pretty interesting at the end.  There are a few more stories to hear, so we'll continue that no doubt.  In the meantime, we'd better get these back to the library!

Madison has such a great sense of humor.  She's had Mommy and Daddy laughing a lot this weekend, and of course encouraged by that, she's been even funnier.  She's been such a blessing to us, and we've had plenty of wonderful moments, just the three of us giggling on the couch.  The fire is in the fireplace, and the three of us are together at the end of the day, laughing and carrying on.

Each night, she hugs us and tells us, "I love you Mommy.   I love you Daddy."  It doesn't get much better than that, does it?
