Girly Girls

For Thanksgiving, we decided it was time to paint Maddie's fingers & toes. She loved it so much. She was really good at sitting still for Lindsay to paint them.

She loves to look at them & say "pretty". She also loves to show them off to anyone she can.

I love the look on her face as she gazes up at Lindsay.

Daddy & Maddie

Michael & Maddie have a lunchtime ritual, now. :)

It used to be that Michael would spend some of his lunch hour soaking in the spa, relaxing & listening to the radio. But now, Little Miss Madeline sees him go out & she repeats incessantly, "spa? spa? spa? spa?" She loves to go out with Daddy & play in the water, blow bubbles & kick. As you can tell, they enjoy their special time together! We will see if she still likes it when its winter time.

The Kids

We had all 4 kids home a few weekends ago-it was great! Ok, it was our 3 plus Juliette, who is like our own. Juel was home for her sister's birthday & she came & spent her Saturday afternoon/evening with us. Poor girl must really need to get a life if she's spending her Saturday evening with us! It was so wonderful to get caught up with her again.

I'm not sure which kid was the most excited about her being home! Of course, it goes without saying that I was the most excited!

Growing kitties!

Here is the latest pictures of the kitties-Scout & Spencer. They are now 3 months old. They have grown quite a bit with more growing to be done. Maddie has really started to enjoy them. She likes to kiss them. She doesn't even seem to mind sharing her toys with them.

Scout has found his favorite place to sleep at night-on my head! During the day, they enjoy sleeping on the back of the couch in the living room window, or on our bed, soaking up the sunshine.

We all seem to have fun playing with them & watching them play.

Lindsay

Wow! It's hard to believe that Lindsay is a senior in high school. Time really does seem to fly by. When they are little, you think they will never grow up. But they really do!

Lindsay is growing into a beautiful woman of God. She can be so helpful around the house & especially with Maddie-thanks so much honey! It really is appreciated!

Lindsay has a very caring heart. She is always there for her friends when they need her-sometimes it seems like too much for us! LOL

Lindsay is a very good big sister to both her brother & sister! (wow-that is still so much fun to say-her sister!)

Thanks for sharing in my ramblings...I, obviously, am not the writer in the family!

Anyway, we just wanted to share Lindsay's senior picture with you.

Hoppy Halloween

This year's Halloween costumes: a bunny & a blonde zombie. (Matt was over at his buddy's house & went as himself.) Lindsay went to the MB high school football game, yes, all dressed up & Maddie went to Nai Nai & YeYe Phillips & Ream's houses & to a few special friends.
