Planting the Vegetable Garden

A visit from Auntie Ren, Grandma and Grandpa

Tap Recital

Maddie had her first recital on Saturday. She did terrific! When the curtain opened, she had the biggest smile on her face and she seemed right at home on stage. It was so fun to watch her perform.

Trampoline

Salon Chair

Maddie got this salon chair for her birthday. It is intended for doll use but that didn’t last long.
