Crazy Mama

Yes, I am making a fool of myself here... but the laughter makes it worth the silliness. There is no sound sweeter than your children's laughter.

Mme Butterfly

Do you remember having your face painted as a kid? I don't, but it seems to be a big fad right now. At festivals, amusement parks, and occasionally, even the grocery store, kids can have their faces turned into masterpieces. Yes, Maia adores being painted. She already has a fascination with make-up, which she's not allowed to have, so this is the next best thing for her.

Swinging Together

We were in Cleveland recently and got to meet up with some old friends. My college pal, Lisa took this picture of Maia and Tai. They were having such a marvelous time swinging together. I can hardly believe Tai has gotten big enough to swing with his sister. His little bare feet are also a thing of the past. Now he wears shoes when we go places, because he loves to crawl around. He can get from one spot to another very quickly and even crawls around on rough surfaces, like the sidewalk, without even putting his knees on the ground. It is adorable...
