08.28.11 - No more Maddies jumpin' on the bed!


Spending the night in Manhattan means gettiing a little creative on sleeping arrangements. We employ no less than two air beds and two pack-n-plays when we're there. On this trip, Maddie slept on a twin bed in Cayden's room. I really didn't think I'd have to worry about her sharing a boy's room for several more years. They held hands the next day while shopping at Target which gave her daddy another panic attack. At least I know Cayden's folks will keep him in line so I really shouldn't have anything to worry about. And Uncle Brian is her godfather, too, so there's that.


Cayden and his dad get doughnuts from "Grandma Dillons" every Sunday morning. Maddie's never had one but when he asked her what kind she wanted, she said, "Chocolate!" It must just be in a girl's DNA.


She wanted sprinkles, too.


We hit City Park before lunch where Maddie had a blast on the playground. That playground alone could get us to move back to Manhattan.

One of our current books checked out from the library is called "Silly Faces."

We have three of them!

08.07.11 - Little helper


It's been well-documented on the boys' blogs that we went to McDonald's today. It was our first time to actually go inside and we invited Nan and Pop to go with us. Without asking, Maddie went to hold the door for Pop. It's quite heavy for a two year old so Nan helped. Still, it's another one of those melt-your-heart moments!

08.03.11 - A little heavy reading?


When we told Maddie that Angie works in a library, she got really excited and said, "I want to go there." Medical school libraries aren't known for their selection of kids material but Maddie grabbed a couple of review books and made herself at home.
