Santa Monica 2011

McDonalds, the beach for a couple of hours capped off by ice cream and a few rides on the carosel. Family tradition every summer.

This year you both ventured out a little further into the ocean. Maddy without any hand holding and Emily into waves that broke above her head at times. As soon as you master swimming Em, I'll teach you to boogie board. :)

Thankful For?

At church Maddy drew what she was thankful for. Most kids drew their families. Maddy drew a spider :)

She also drew something she said was "saddness.". She said,"Im thankful for saddness because then I can show them the light of Jesus!"

Wow.

Christmas 2010

Emily, you said it was the best Christmas ever and I couldn't agree more. Your big surprise was a giant Barbie doll house which was quickly taken over by the Monster High Dolls.

Maddy, your big gifts this year were Dance Star Mickey and Hot Wheels Criss Cross Crash. Two funny stories.

First CCC was something that I had found awful reviews online for. The cars can't stay on the track they said. You, undaunted, began saying you wanted Criss Cross DON'T CRASH because the cars fall off the tracks. It's the face you made each time you explained that the cars fall off the track that made me laugh.

Dance Star Mickey was every other word out of your mouth leading up to Christmas. In fact you began saying good night to a large wrapped box because you were certain DSM was in it. The box was much too small BTW. But hey, you are 4 and scale is a lot different to a 4 year old.

Emily makes breakfast for herself

This morning Emily made breakfast for herself for the first time. She is 7 years and one month old. :). Mom and I were ver proud and excited that Saturdays may soon include sleeping in.

We left milk for her in a Royal
Carribean thermos so she could reach and pour without help. Thank you Valenti's for this idea!

Now if we can just get Maddy to eat before she come crawling into bed we'd be set. :)
