Professional Photographer?

Madeline was given this super fabulous preschool digital camera from our neighbor. They are moving and doing a big cleanout. It was even still in the original box!  Thank you Clark family. Here is some of her best work.

Then she asked if I would take a picture of her and her baby doll. She was giving her a big kiss.

Weekend

So we have had a nice laid back family weekend. Here are few of the highlights.

Nick installed these fancy new headrest into my car. (
Another bargain he found on dealnews.com)That way when we take our long road trips the kids will have a bit of DVD entertainment. Madeline and I sat in the car and supervised. Maddie “drove” the car and I just held the light and sometimes my smaller hand was needed for tight spaces. But what a great team!

Then we went for a family walk and noticed this cute little bird. He has been hanging out on the ledge above our front door. I really liked him until I noticed the mess he was leaving me!

Then it was finally Sunday. Can you believe Madeline just walked into her Sunday School class like a big girl and didn’t even cry? Nick and I were so shocked we high fived the whole way down the hall to our class and I ate an extra donut hole in honor of the milestone.  Here is her project of the week and Madeline helping Nick and I in the toddler room for extended session.
