Madilyn's First Dance

Happy Birthday Madilyn

She has been waiting for her Birthday for the past three weeks, ever since I sent out the invites. I made one for her and she had me read it to her at least once a day if not twice. When I would read the part about "food, beverages, cake and ice cream will be served" she would ask me "go?" as in where did it go...which I would then explain to her that it was not made yet and her party would take place in a few weeks, days... Obviously it didn't sink in because she was asking me about it everyday, so glad she was so excited for HER birthday party.

Enjoying the party.

Opening gifts,

Her cake,just like the one my mom made for me on my second birthday!

Thank you to everyone for making her day so special.

August...

For only being two she is so great at sitting still long enough for me to braid her hair!

August was so hot that we only got out for short periods in the morning,most of the time during Ezra's morning nap...but sometimes it stayed cool long enough for him to join us.

It is so neat having a quick camera, check out the library card. Ezra was eating the card until he decided to join us singing Pat-A-Cake

Using Madilyn's hat to get ready for football season, until we find one for him.

He has been reaching for the faucet for awhile and I thought that it was clean enough for him to go into today, and he loved it.
