Madd Max Pace

Cocktail hour.

Coincides with Kid Dinner.
Adult Dinner follows once the table and small people are wiped down.

Slappy Digs Fiona

And loves up on her at every chance. When Max thinks no one is looking, he'll sneak over to touch her toes.

Madd Max Get Some DoeZee Love

Just before he headed back to Jersey. After spending the entire day together during Maddie's surgery, Max may just miss most their breakfast of 4 cups of juice and dry Fruit Loops eaten with a fork.

Maddie will miss DoeZee's teaching.

Here's the latest little bit of knowledge he instilled on her.

Slappy Take DoeZee To Someplace Special

Chuck E Cheese. Where all kiddos in recovery head for a good time. You would think with 2 loud ears, it would be the last place she would want to go...

Madd Max Has A Send Off BBQ

At the Leonhardts who will be on the East Coast (and Vegas) for the next 2 months.Max will have to find another seatmate.

Maddie who was missing "my best friends, Ellie and Lilly" up in Palo Alto, will have to miss at least one of them a little longer.

Madd Max Returns

Each time the fam has come home from a surgery or attempted surgery, there have been gifts waiting to buck up either the kids or their parents. This time both kiddos were thrilled to see massive amounts of balloons from the Williams' and the Leonhardt fam.

All followed up by an ice cream cake from Mimi and DoeZee.

Slappy Recovers

At a very swollen breakfast.Followed by some card opening from the teachers and kids in her preschool.

And finally in the afternoon at the local Kid's Museum, aka The OMG Don't Hit Your Ear On Those Toys Or Kids Museum.

In the back there was a small zoo, where DooZee impressed Max with his goose call skillz.

And watched Maddie strive to be back at 100%.

The magnifying glass was just the right speed, for Jess.

Slappy Still Has Style

Even when she isn't feeling super awesome.

Slappy Has An Operation

Madd Max Heads To Palo Alto - Take 3

A relatively calm drive up.

Followed by a less calm dinner.

Where Jess tried to work from the restaurant using the kids' crayons, and ignore her stress factor. The margarita didn't help the stress too much, but boy, did those sets look interesting.

DooZee came up with the most awesome game of peekaboo.

Times two.

And then later, the game of "I'm a robot!" with the insides of 2 boxes.

Slappy Is Bound

By her own free will. With scotch tape.

Madd Max Has An Early Father's Day Breakfast

They helped Dad eat.

The Scrapper Realizes Why Sisters Are Cool

If you are having a bad morning, they will let you tuck in next to them, while you both enjoy a floor breakfast.

Madd Max Play With The Croshaw Girls

Jane, who looks "so cute like Baby Fiona," as described by Maddie.

And Edith.

Who shared the love.

And her jewels.

Madd Max Head To Aurelia's House

For a pool birthday celebration.

Where Max got to know the ladies.

Madd Max Have An Art Show

Held by their preschool.That's Max's fine work - Tempera Paint with Toy Truck and Car, Hands and Fingers.

Maddie had the first piece in the silent auction.

A collage that her folks won for $20.

Every 15 minutes an artist was featured, and Jess and Sam learned that you bring your kids to their art show, as they were the only parents without them.

And finally something to think on - Mixed Media Collage on Pinecone.

Slappy Is Just Like Mimi

Both baking a cake very carefully in aprons.

Madd Max Goes To Mom's Work

But they did not get a chance to handle the blood slides.

Madd Max Get A Swing

After hearing about cousin Gwen's swing, Sam decided to make a swing for the kiddos.

After recovering from falling off the back in tandem, the swing was a huge hit.

The sharing was not.

Madd Max Have Both Grandmas

To enjoy breakfast with.

Which is next to the pet store. Max loved the kittens, and spent his time pointing and saying, "Ooo, whoo, ooo!"

Taisie got in some good train playing before she headed out on her flight back to Providence.
