Madeline Elizabeth Rauscher

Welcome Madeline Elizabeth to the world. Shelly (Matthew's sister) had her baby July 3rd, around 8pm. She weighed 8lb 4oz, and her pictures are super cute. We can't wait to meet her. Mom, baby, dad and all the grandparent's are doing great!!

Well our weather has taken a turn for the GREAT!! it has been mostly sunny and in the 70's all week and last week. It has been wonderful!!

We have started potty training Luke with no success so far. It is a long and hard process for Luke who only wants the m&m's with out going potty. We were hoping he would catch on a little better and we would get rid of his diapers and therefor get rid of his diaper rash. Oh well, he'll have to get it eventually, right?! He is running around naked right now. He has already pooped in his undies and peed too. Oh my...he just went to the table to eat his yogurt and peed all over the bench and floor. UGH!!!!!

Hannah has found her voice the past week and has been talking up a storm. She always has something to tell us now, and it's super cute. We all laugh at her and it makes her talk even more. Luke likes get in her face and talk right back! :)

Our weather has been great, fantastic and awesome the past couple weeks. This week it is supposed to be in the high 70's and then start raining on Friday for a week. This will be good for our lawns which are suffering in all the heat but bad for my cousin Mallory's up coming wedding which is supposed to be outside...and we are supposed to be camping next week.

Matthew and I celebrate our 4th wedding anniversary this Friday, July 10th. I can't believe we have been married 4 years and we have two kids. It's amazing. I LOVE MY LIFE!! We will celebrate be going to my cousins rehersal dinner!! Matthew is happy not to be paying for dinner!! :)
