Ballet

Today Maddie started lessons at Miss Peggy's School of Dance, the same place I attended dance lessons about 25 years ago! She absolutely loved it and can't wait to go every week.

Little Girl, Big Shoes

Taylor loves to put on our shoes and walk around like a big girl. Auntie Jacqui got a kick out of her sneaking into her boots.

Church Picnic

We had a great day at the St. Rose Church Picnic. The weather was great and fun was had by all.
This is Maddie's very first cotton candy.

There is no denying how much they loved the cotton candy. Too bad it didn't fill them up. They enjoyed plenty of more yummy treats throughout the day.

Taylor loves the bouncy house. It's so hard to coax her out, she could stay there all day chanting "jump, jump, jump..."

Maddie catching some good air.

TUG OF WAR. Calvin, Maddie and Lincoln against three larger kids. Calvin with all his strength held them off really well for a while, but they eventually were taken down.

While I was taking a picture of the Massaro family with their camera, I let Maddie play with ours. As you can see, we might have a future photographer on our hands.

Me and my buddy Lincoln.

We tricked Maddie into smiling at the camera, it worked!

Playtime with Sydney

She has the biggest smile! I love this picture.

This is the best picture I could get of the girls at the same time.

First Day of Preschool

Maddie returned to Miss Diane's Little School today. She was very excited to see her classmates, teachers, and Calvin who will be joining her class this year.

She looks so grown up! After this look she never looked back!

I guess we should be lucky she loves school so much. Have a great school year Mads!

Helpers in the Kitchen

Maddie loves to help out in the kitchen. She especially loves to wear her apron.

Taylors two new loves: dressing up like Snow White and playing in the kitchen sink.

Labor Day at the beach

It's not Labor Day unless we go to Wingaersheek Beach in Gloucester. Pops and Grandmommy got to enjoy the day with their 5 girls.
This is one of the only times Sydney stopped to relax with her mommy. (Can you see Keri's baby bump?)

Maddie with her Pops.

These two always have fun together.

Grandmommy being tickled.

Can you see the icecream cone? Maddie was very proud.
