MADISON

Everyday we see our kids growing but don't realize how big they are until something big happens. For us the last 2 weeks have been big ones. Maddie has graduated from kindergarten, learned to ride her bike without training wheels, and lost her first tooth. We are so proud of the beautiful and kind person that she is growing up to be.

Here is our little graduate. She is so excited to be going into first grade-why am I so sad?

It's kindof hard to see that she lost one since the permant teeth are already in behind, but both bottom teeth were loose and the second one should be coming out any day. She was scared to pull it out, but let me tug anyway.

Now you can understand why she was scared to loose her tooth. Josh's idea of getting the tooth out! Poor kid!

Here is our little ballerina. She loves to be on stage and be the center of attention. Next year she wants to do ballet and tap-I'am sure my hardwoods will love that!

Maddie loves to play mom and be my big helper. She will one day be a wonderful mother.

Can you tell which baby is real? Maddie loves to play with Luke and already has him playing with dolls.
