 In honor of Maddie's first day, Dane wore a special shirt.  So sweet!

 Happy Birthday to Great Grandma and to Claire!

 Happy 30th doggie B-day to Auntie Jill!  We were to send her pics of dogs, we decided stuffed dogs would be fine! :)

Sassy Maddie and Emmie walkers while Dane chills.

My messy crepe eater!

Emmie mastered the scooter.  She LOVES riding on it.

Future Tap Dancer?  Here she says, "Maddie's shoes, mama" though it is hard to understand!

Laurie Berkner at Ravina...they had fun sliding and not sure how they felt about the music this time around.  Our kiddos are getting old. :(
