Mae
Before I knew Madeline's first name, I always knew the one in the middle would be Mae- named after my lovely Nana, Rebecca Mae. The name has always been special to me; beautiful + classic just like the matriarch of our family. Over Thanksgiving, Maddie was given several blessings- her first holiday, her baptism, and the chance to finally meet the lady that made all my holidays so special. 4 generations all together- and in the very near future we will take MM to California to introduce her to her great-great grandmother. 5 generations- truly blessed.
Just a few weeks ago we celebrated six months in our new home. On March 14, to be exact. I cannot believe we have lived here for half a year. It’s still so crazy at times to think we moved our little family of four, plus two fur babies, down south in the middle of a pandemic. But did it we did, and are so happy to be in our cozy home and to finally enjoy a bit of a routine. It was a tad hectic there for a bit- with so many changes and so little routine- but over the last few months we’ve found our groove again, and we’ve made a few simple changes that has helped make life just a little bit easier these days.
