What has Maddie been up to?

Visiting with Grandma...

Being annoyed with Mom...

Lovin' on Dad...


Spending time with friends....

Chillin' by the pool...

Reading some new books...

Eating out...

Learning to wave...


and make funny faces...

and smile for the camera...

and trying new 'dos.

And keeping everyone entertained, of course.

Lucky Number 7

This is pretty neat...

Basically, the city I live is was ranked the #7 Best Small Town to Live in the nation! Pretty wild...I guess it makes me reconsider all the complaining I've been doing about my lil' town lately. The article mentions that traffic here is "not a selling point." I've got another not so great selling point to add to that: the weather.

Case in point:


Yes, that is my car thermostat. That was last week...TODAY is supposed to be the hottest day of the year. I'll be inside, thanks!
