Our week with Maddie

My dear friend Lisa now has 3 kids. Her little girl is a busy 2 year old that we adore. However, when you are trying to get the extra rest needed from recently having a baby, the extra energy of a toddler is suddenly less cute. So we invited her to come play at our house so her mom could get some rest.
Jacob loves Madeline and was so excited when the day finally came for us to head to Napa and pick her up. They spent the next four days playing, playing, playing.

This picture is actually from Parker's party, but it is so Maddie. She came in with only one leg SOAKED. We couldn't figure out what happened until about 20 minutes later when she starts pulling ice out of her pocket. The best was the fact that she had a look like, "yeah I had ice in my pocket, where else would I put it?"
Even though it was rainy and cold, all they needed were raincoats and boots and they were ready for those muddy puddles. (Lis, sorry again for the ruined tights;))

They went to sleep giggling, woke up giggling, and slept peacefully in between.
Could they be cuter? The boys were thrilled to have her stay with us, and so was I. (And Lisa got some well deserved rest.)

Sara,
You are a doll to have done this great service for our girl. She enjoyed her time alone with Jackson and knew that Maddie was having such a great time with you and Jacob made her life even better.

We can't wait to get Lisa, Jackson and Sheri here for 5 whole days so we can have our Jackson fix and to let Lisa get some more rest. we are having a big WELCOME party for that precious baby and everyone here is so excited to get to see him and have cuddle time. They will just have to fight off Sheri and John.

You are a great friend and I know Maddie is counting the days till she can come and visit again.

Love you,
Sue p.s. loved the pics and they were so Maddie. She is one cute pistol!!!
