First Kite Adenture

Madison had such a nice day! the weather was beautiful!  Almost too good for winter and way too good for kite flying.  There was just enough of an occasional breeze to get that kite up here and there.  She loved it and so did I.

Birthday Party Fun

Madison went to her first kid party Birthday party for her school mate Robert who was turning 3. She was pretty shy most of the party and was a bit too scared to go into the bouncy house or the huge bouncy slide.


It was the cutest little party! it was a fireman theme and they had a bunch of projects, toys, and games. The highlight was when a real firetruck and a bunch of nice firemen came. Maddie did not want to play around the truck like the other kids, but lit up and got very enthusiastic when they announced the fire-hose squirting part.


Towards the end of the party she was playing in the fountain with her friends and having a good time. Here she us with a firetruck water cup thing they gave out. Such a nice party and such nice people! It was a real good day.

Love my Bracelet

Maddie made me a bracelet a few weeks ago and often comments on how she made it for me with Grandma's help. I love it! It seems to make her happy to see it on my wrist.

Madison at Pea Soup

Taking her wagon thru Cairo, gotta have a drink.


Such a beautiful girl if I say so myself.


Here she is blasting out of the swamp in her space shuttle.


It was nice to have a big 3 day weekend all with Madison. She is just the sweetest thing!

Hipstomatic Pics of Baby

Hanging out the other night with Madison and decided to try a new lens on the hipstomatic.


Took a few more today at the fountain.


Baby is getting taller I think cause it about killed me to carry her while pushing her stroller about 3 blocks.


She is such a talker now and pretty darn good at expressing her thoughts, although I feel she has been getting a bit creative with some of her stories.

Cutie at the Studio

Went to the Art Clinic the other day and, where I got nothing done, Madison was super busy.


She was building boats and caves and cars and hiding places.


Making castles with clay and pancakes and all sorts of goodies. Grandma joined us and she too got caught up in the getting nothing done world our sweet Maddie had created.


It was very nice to get out of the apartment for a bit and I really enjoyed watching her imagination just go to town. She was so good and sweet. I look forward to our next trip to the Art Clinic.
