Living for the Weekends...

With Brody gone most nights of the week and with the dehabilitating cold, we don't often get to do much during the weeks.  Because of this, we have tried to live it up during the weekends. The last few weekends we went to the Detroit Auto Show, the U of M Natural History Museum and some fun Super Bowl parties. 

I am also happy to say that Madeleine has been sleeping a little better.  I have tried very hard to get her to sleep in her crib for all of her naps (except when we are in the car) and put her down when she is drowsy and but not yet asleep.  All the work finally paid off.  She started to fall asleep on her own (only when she is ready), which is fantastic when she takes naps.  This hasn't really translated too much at night, but she has had a very better nights.  She is by no means consistent, but once in awhile she will sleep long stretches at night.  I feel better rested lately, which makes me more optomistic that she'll be better at sleeping soon.  Now all I need is nicer weather and Brody to get an internship offer and life will be much better :)

Here are a few pictures from our adventures...
