Austin

I have been hearing complaints from family members about the lack of Madelyn pictures lately, so since I hadn't posted in a whole month, I thought I would give everyone their Madelyn fix :)

Madelyn and I made the long overdue trip to Austin to my grandparents. It was a very quick trip but so great to see family.

Some pics of the girls...Alex, Grandma, Madelyn, and Mema

Alex is in 1st grade now and has become an excellent reader...she read Madelyn her bedtime book!

The girls had a sleep-over! Here they are lounging on the couch before bed...

Madelyn cracking an assortment of nuts and learning about their different tastes with Grandpa and Mema...

helping Grandma with the housework...

and playing kitchen with Grandma!

Kyle and Kristy drove up for an afternoon to spend a little time with Madelyn...thanks!

hanging out in the backyard...

Alex and Madelyn spent a lot of time in the sandbox. Alex was such a big helper and would put on M's shoes, help her down the steps to the backyard, and then "babysit" her while they played together. Madelyn loves Alex!!

Aunt Nicole showing Madelyn how to use her new hand-me-down play-doh set...thanks for the new toy!
