Slappy Likes Animals

At school they have a bunch. Today the bunny got some outside time.

Here's what their play yard looks like - bunny corral by all the kiddos.

Madd Max Gets A New Cousin

Sonia Grace Kender was born to proud parents Uncle Ant and Aunt Tara and cousin, Aiden at 3:17am. She weighed in at 8lb 15oz and 22" long, and Maddie and Max are very excited to meet her.

As a side note, at 3:30 in the morning, Dozey (who was babysitting Aiden during labor) was awakened by a hollering grandson, who clearly had sensed a shift in the force.

Madd Max Has Another Project

Which Maddie worked on under the supervision of A Masked Avenger.

The Scrapper Is 2 1/2

And is very proud to wear his "hockey" ie Dad's LA Kings hat.

At his doctor's appointment, his stats were as follows:

Weight: 33lb. 8oz (80th percentile)
Height: 36 3/8" (50th percentile)

The doctor asked if he was jumping yet - a skill Max just learned 2 weeks ago, and he was so proud, he jumped throughout the appointment. The doctor also gave him big props for his clear diction.

Madd Max Sees Beauty and The Beast

With the Findleys. Both kids were enthralled enough to sit quietly through the entire movie, and Maddie whined for more at the end.

Madd Max Head To The Chinese Cultural Arts Celebration

At the Huntington, where there were lanterns "just like Tangled."

Along with dancing dragons.

Madd Max Celebrate Mom's 36th

With a Poquito Mas lunch.

Followed by a children's theater production of "Snow White."

Where the kids were often invited on stage.

All 5 went up at some point (Maddie twice).

Jess' birthday pie - Note: the two slices missing were necessary. After the theater the kids needed nap and Jess needed pie.
