11.30.09 - President Maddie?

Looks a little presidential, don't ya think?

11.29.09 - Puhsketti

We made spaghetti for dinner tonight and Maddie loved it, to say the least! In fact, there were probably two dozen usable frames that could have made the blog today but Angie and I finally settled on this one (thus the delay in posting!). She did everything but actually dump it on her head although she did manage to get a piece of hamburger stuck on her forehead. When she was finished, she went straight to the bathtub while Harley cleaned up the table!

11.28.09 - Park Place

On the way home from church and dinner tonight, Angie asked if we could stop by the Wey Mansion in Wichita's midtown neighborhood. It's one of Wichita's best-known Christmas light displays. And, what would you know? The Coolidge house display was on our way home from the Wey Mansion so, of course, we had to stop (again!). Maddie loved all the lights about as much as she did the horsies from yesterday.

11.27.09 - Horsies!

After a gourmet cup of hot cocoa from Cocoa Dulce, Maddie and I wait for our turn to ride the Bradley Fair horse-drawn carriage rides. She was enthralled at the sight of them and began waving her arms nearly uncontrollably. What a great date idea, Angie! If you want to go, the carriage rides are free from 6 to 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. The line forms at the giant Christmas tree.

11.26.09 - Happy Thanksgiving!

The two people this Daddy is most thankful for - Maddie and Mommy!

11.25.09 - All I want for Christmas ...

... is my other front tooth!

11.24.09 - Hey, go back!

Maddie commandeers the remote after dinner.

11.23.09 - Peek-a-boo!

If there's two things Maddie likes, it's bath time and peek-a-boo. Tonight, she did both at the same time.

11.22.09 - Sweet dreams

Maddie awoke from her afternoon nap (her afternoon nap!) fully rested and ready to go! Unlike the last time she had bed head, she must have had some sweet dreams.

11.21.09 - Here's smilin' at you, kid!

Gramma Karen and Grampy Keith made an unannounced visit today. They brought Maddie a hand-made gingerbread house and she flashed them plenty of smiles!
