01.18.10 - Ball popper!

Maddie loves to play with the ball popper that friends Kent and Amy got her for her birthday. This musical toy shoots up to five balls out of the top. They fall into the tray, wind their way through and shoot back out over and over. Mostly she likes to stand over the forced air coming out. She thinks it's the best thing ever! Thanks, Kent and Amy!

09.05.09 - Pilot's pilot

We returned from our quick jaunt to KC today after having breakfast with Brian, Emily and Cayden, shopping at Legends and visiting our friends Kent and Amy at their new house in Gardner. Angie and Maddie slept for a good portion of the drive back and were feeling quite rested so Maddie offered to take over the helm at our potty stop on the turnpike to give her Daddy a break from driving.

If we let her drive like that we'd be bad parents like Britney Spears!

12.31.08 - Visitors!

Maddie smiles while being held by Amy. She and her husband, Kent, came by while in town from Chicago visiting family for the holidays. Later, Grandpa Greg and family came with dinner.
