After I told my animals about the new addition I started wondering around the house, showing it to her. Maddison seems to be a happy baby and easygoing. After walking around the house, I put her to sleep.  I laid her down in her crib and hummed softly before going downstairs to make a list of things I would need.

     After making the list, I set about cleaning up from lunch.  When I cleaned the kitchen and the bottle, I started looking for formula. Then I noticed a door on the side of the kitchen.  Opening it I found the Laundry room and a door that lead to a small set of stairs, leading under the house.
