Maddie update

She is the happiest when she is coloring, writing or painting!

She writes her name pretty well.

Drawing patterns on Easter eggs.

Here she was painting a picture of herself, Oliver and me (the one with orange hair). 

She was cracking herself up because of the brown chin she painted. 

The finished product.

 She has a silly side.  It comes out the most when she's with Oli.

Fishing at AJ Henry Park

We took the kids fishing at AJ Henry Park, about 10 minutes from our house. They were so excited!  They didn't catch anything but they had a lot of fun. The sunlight was beautiful, we saw a pretty rainbow, and we enjoyed spending quality time as a family!
