OPEN WIDE! Maddie had her first visit to the dentist this week. Before the appointment we told her she needed to sit in the chair and open her mouth, so when she got into the room, she did exactly that! She was a very good girl for the whole cleaning. No cavities!

BUDDIES! Oh I hope Maddie and Jake are good friends some day. I anticipate there will be plenty of squabbles in the future, but I truly hope they like each other. I will cherish it now however. No one can make Jake laugh like his big sister. He lights up when she comes into the room.

CHILDREN'S MUSEUM

Today we met Jr., Brooke, & Shannon (and their Grandma JoJo) at the Children's Museum in St. Paul. The kids had a blast. Some of Maddie's favorite parts: face painting, playing at the water tables, ant-crawling through the tunnels with Jr. and Brooke, and grocery shopping at the market. She also was a star in her own music video (till some older kid- he looked 12- stole her guitar!) Jake spent about two hours napping in the sling while we were there, so on our way home we stopped at Daddy's work so Mom could get an adustment.
