Lifestyles of the rich and infamous

This summer we went on a trip with Kate's family to Georgia. We got to stay at a huge house that sat right behind a golf course. It was beautiful, but I think that Maddie's favorite part was taking bike rides. Figures. . . The house and the newly acquired Minivan.

Maddie's Birthday Extravaganza

The festivities started off with a trip to Baltimore with our friends the Colts.

Here is a picture of Maddie and Declan at the dolphin show in the Aquarium.A dolphin in the show.

I think it was saying, "so long, and thanks for all the fish."

But I can't be sure.

Then my parents and Bethany and Steve came over to have a cake making party for Maddie. Mom and Kate made homemade icing and we all tried our hand at decorating. I think Maddie might have tried both hands, however.

Maddie had a hard time with the candles. . .but not so with the presents.

This was one of the first presents that she opened,

stickers from Aunt Bethany, and she was very enthusiastic about them.

Bethany and Steve look on approvingly.

Happy Birthday #2, Madison!

End of line.
