Madeline has been having a great summer of fun and adventure. Here are the latest photos and updates:

Maddie got a new bed from her cousins. She helped us paint it white. She is so excited to have a big girl's bed!

Lisa found her a German dirndl.

We bought Madeline a Rainbow playhouse. Eric assembled it in the back yard (we were still waiting for a few final pieces when this photo was taken). She loves to swing and slide and play in her playhouse.

We took a vacation to Moose Lake near Bemidji for a week in early July.

We went into town for the 4th of July. We stopped at a carnival and our fearless child wanted to ride everything.

Maddie got a tricycle. She is learning quickly.


Maddie loved the carnival so much that we went to the Anoka county fair for some bullriding and amusement rides.

She is very excited to be a big sister and can hardly wait the remaining 7 weeks or so until her little brother or sister arrives. We'll let you all know as soon as there is news to share.
