DANCING QUEEN
Maddie had her first dance recital and she performed magnificently, despite the intense heat in the AC-free Johnson High School auditorium. She loved being up on stage, (not sure where she gets that from!) and we actually had to pull her off when it was time for the other classes to perform. She did a tap, ballet and jazz routine, and jazz and tap were her favorites.

Happy Birthday Madeline Margaret!
I can't believe she is four years old now! I know everyone says that when a child has a birthday, but really the years have passed too quickly! Before I know it she'll be asking to borrow my car keys.
Maddie had a nice birthday party in the backyard. Her favorite parts of the day was eating her birthday cake (of course) and taking whacks at the pinata, which was a large yellow chicken (it was the only decent one Cub Foods had left!)
