Dress-up with Friends

Madelyn has lately really been enjoying these dress-ups that we scored at a garage sale last summer. 

On this day she had friends to share in the fun!

We even did face painting!

Two cute girls!

The kids had so much fun jumping between these couches over and over and over...I took advantage of the chance to play with the shutter speed setting on my camera and got a few fun shots of the action.

The final moments with her peers at EPMS, where Madelyn completed her first two years of school.

Cousin Jack and "Best Friend" Jayden

The kids had a lot of fun playing with the wood block interactive "centerpieces."

End of School Program 2011

Madelyn's last program at Elizabeth Perry Montessori School (as we are moving to another city in August).

"This Little Light of Mine"

So fun to see the change in her enthusiasm from the first fall program where she stood silent and shy. 

We arrived home to indisputable evidence that Kezia had been snooping in a trash can. 

Mother's Day for Grandma Bonnie

Madelyn painted one of these tiny birdhouses for each of her grandmas. We presented Bonnie with hers at the Sunday Market where she and Dale sell produce each week. 

HUG!

Grandma loves showing off her little lady when she comes to visit. And Madelyn always ends up with free treats and gifts bestowed by the other vendors. 

Girls' Photo Shoot

As an early birthday present for me, Bonnie took us girls for a photo shoot at the studio she and Dale used to travel and sell packages for.  Here are some favorites from the session.

Thanks, Bonnie and Dale, for all the great prints we can frame and share!
