Kisses and Hiding in Bed

It's hard to tell who gets the most enjoyment out of this... Maddie or Luke (or maybe it's Mom and Dad)?  These two are so cute together.  Scenes like this are a daily occurrence... so cute!

Maddie's First Piano Recital

Today was Maddie's first piano recital.  She played "Musette" by Leopold Mozart.  We're so proud of her.  Watch, listen and enjoy.

And a few photos of Maddie in her new fancy dress and shoes.

It was a great day!

Maddie Earns Her Yellow Belt!

After 2 months of karate classes, Maddie tested for and earned her yellow belt today!  She has worked very hard to learn the required skills and memorize the different techniques.  She really enjoys the classes and feels very proud of her accomplishment.  Mom and Dad are proud too!  Next goal: orange belt!  Go for it Maddie!

Maddie warms up for her belt test (notice the white belt with 2 blue tips)
