Rowland's nephew and niece were both blessed on the same day.

Here is the beautiful Lila Elizabeth, daughter of Rowland's sister Laura and her husband Derek.

Lila with her cute family and Great Grandma Lila Christiansen who she was named after.

Here is the adorable Clark Roger, son of Rowland's brother John and his wife Mandy with their cute family. Clark was named after his Grandpa Roger who is currently serving a mission in Chile.

And their proud Grandparents, Clay & Diane Christiansen.

I want Mama!!!

How sweet, Madison put together her first sentence today and proudly shouted it out. I had an upset stomach so when Rowland got home from work, he watched her for a little bit so I could lie down.

After about 20 minutes I heard her loudly protest from the other room "I want Mama!!!" I thought certainly I misheard her or it was a fluke, then she said it again very clearly. Rowland also wondering if it was an accident asked her, "Do you want Mama Madison?" She answered, "Yeah!" He brought her in to me and she got so excited to see me, she threw her little arms out toward me with a huge smile. He confirmed that I heard correctly; she said her first sentence. What a doll!
