thankfully, she had finished crying, but she was that kid standing in the front row like a deer in the headlights. i couldn't believe it! she was so excited about singing and never said a word. she finally moved a little when they put some rhythm sticks in her hands. i was already with my camera when they called the kids up, but when she came back crying i set it down. i was bummed because now i was squatting up in the front right next to her and would have been able to get some great video. matt was wrangling mason (who was trying to follow me up to the front of the church) and couldn't use the camera. he was able to get the video below though and the picture of madelyn and i walking back to our seats - she was happy and chatty again by this point even though she doesn't look it in the picture.
we didn't even make it to the end of the service because it was already after 12 and mason was starting to loose it. we had passed lunch time and were quickly approaching nap time.
we had planned to go with daddy to the hospital so that he could hang up a white board in his office and we could finally get to see where he worked. the hospital cafeteria seemed like the obvious choice for lunch. the kids were delighted with all the sights of the hospital (maybe i will get pictures another time) and that they could pick out whatever they wanted for lunch - complete with chocolate milk. there were even little kid sized tables, but they didn't sit there beyond this picture because mommy and daddy weren't sitting with them.
unfortunately, daddy forgot his keys so we weren't able to actually see his office. we did get to walk around the hospital a little bit though. some of the views were really great and i can't wait to come back in the spring to see everything in bloom.
maddux slept through the entire outing. love.

First of all, you look terrific! Secondly, Maddie sounds just like you. The next time she'll probably do great. I wish I could see the video better. Love the picture of the two of them eating. Sounds like a great day!
Neat that they got to see Daddy's hospital. Your story about Madelyn being super-excited, then freezing sounds a lot lke Lorelai's Christmas pageant.
