Madd Max Hear From Obama

With the help of their Grandmother, the kiddos wrote to President Obama.  And then they heard back.

Madd Max Enjoy A Last Dinner

In the grandparents' backyard, before they head to Panama.

That's a good tree for climbing.

That's a good sofa and shoulder for reading.

Slappy Gets Her Orange Belt

 The belt ceremony.

 Maddie and Luke - both were super proud.

A celebratory pizza dinner.

Madd Max Go Roller Skating

At Lilly's 8th Birthday Party!

Where they had these.

Which Max loved because he could skate really fast, although both kiddos spent time skating very slowly without them (Madd almost the entire time).

 

How you watch your slow moving kiddo if you have skillz.

The sidelines fans.

Some who could not get on the rink due being full of baby.

Happy Birthday, Lilly!

Madd Max Stays Busy

Brunch with Great Aunt Lou and cousin Spencer.

The kiddos spent most of it in their favorite spot, the studio.

Then back in for some high-fiving with Excellent Aunt Lou.

Sam carries a great weight on his shoulders.

And finally, a party at Luke's.

Madd was second and last in line for the piñata.

The Scrapper Has A Second Day Off

This time spent on skunk watch in the front yard.

And then knocked out after a full day at Kidspace.

An adult meal followed later at Firefly.

The Scrapper Has A Day Off

Where he basked in the undivided attention of his grandparents and Great Aunt Lou at the CA Science Museum.
