Another lost tooth

Time flies when you're having fun!...

 

Hard to believe but a week and a half ago, Maidson ran off the bus screaming, "My tooth came out! My tooth came out!"  We had been working on that tooth for over a week!  She has officially entered the Silly Grin Club.

 

Tooth #3

That weekend Nana and Papa had come to visit.  Saturday morning was pottery and then apple picking.

Jeff picking

After apple picking, it was off to the peach orchard...

After all that picking, it was time to eat.  Madison showed off her toothless straw sipping skills!

The perfect place for the straw

Would you believe that is one portion???  LOOK AT THAT SUNDAE...CRAZY!!!  She did share a little bit with us.

Sunday we went out for breakfast...our family portrait.

Boogie Boarding in Surf City

There was a break in the clouds this weekend that supplied the children with a PERFECT opportunity to have time at the beach. And the fact that Madison could spend time with friends at the beach made it even more PERFECT!  

Alli, Madison, Ben, and Sam

If you ask Madison, we built a "village" in the sand...

Later that afternoon, Madison worked up enough nerve to give Boogie boarding a try and...in her words...after catching her first wave..."That was AWESOME!"

Boogie Boarding in Surf City...what a great time!  Madison can't wait to get back to the beach!!!

First Day of First Grade and a Thinking Cap

Kindergarten is so yesterday!  Madison started her third week of 1st grade today...hard to believe. She's loving it and doing so well so far.  

New friends, new teacher, all kinds of new things to learn...with all that new stuff, you need a thinking cap to keep it all straight!!!!

Got on my Thinking Cap!
