Fun Summer Days With Cousins!

This is a quick pic from Madison's dance recital. Sadly, I don't have it on video. A friend tried to email it and I couldn't get it to work. She did an amazing job. This was her first year to clog and their performance was fantastic. Her teacher, Mrs. Alice, was awesome!

Madison is spending her summer days with her aunt, uncle, and cousins. They are really having a great time and doing all kinds of fun things. Yesterday (Thursday June 5), they went downtown to the art museum and had a "Pete's Famous Hot Dogs" picnic at Linn Park. These are some fun pictures from that day. I am so thankful that she is getting to grow up with these "sisters" as we call them because they are so close. Lee and I always said when we grew up that we were going to live next door to each other and have babies at the same time. Well, we live 12 miles apart and Madison is 8, Emily is 9 and Suzanna is 7, and Michela is old enough to babysit, so we have done pretty good.Michela, my 13 year old neice, has a picture hanging in the art museum right now, which we think is so awesome. Her art teacher took it to a show and was then was asked to hang it in the art museum for a show this summer. How cool is that and it is an amazing picture! If you are downtown be sure and go check it out!
