California 2012 - Part 2

I had such a great time playing with Maddie. She's an amazing little girl. You would be blown away by how well she talks! I can't tell you how many times she would say, "Grandma. Papa?" I'd reply "Papa's in Kansas". "Kansas?", she'd reply. Then "Uncle Brett?","he's in Kansas to", and she'd go through the list of her Kansas family with the same question. She recognizes the turn-off for Jeff and Caroline's house and is so excited, "Ka-Ka (Kate's nickname), Allie?" or "Aunt Caroline?" She stays there on Thursdays and is very well loved!

Pray for Maddie, as she will be having eye surgery on June 1. The sling (synthetic material that opens/closes her eyelids) failed in her right eye. She will be back at UCLA where surgery will be done on both eyes to improve their function and appearance. This failure has caused her to tip up her little head so she can see.


Maddie loves texture. I was delighted to find this bumpy green ball at Target and we had great fun bouncing it back and forth. Looks like she found it to be a good place to sit and think for awhile! :)


Our neighborhood walk. Just look at how wet her shirt is! She was such a "drooly" girl!


Nothing like looking at the pretty flowers God has created!


Boy was she happy when Mommie returned home from her trip! She loves to sing, clap and tries to jump, which I find amazing at her age.


Thanks Jeremy and Renee  for giving me this wonderful opportunity to spend time with your precious little girl!

The next day I would go to Allie's track meet, where one of her events was the mile.


Later Maddie and I went to Jeff and Caroline's where the girls would watch Maddie while I went with Jeff and Caroline to take photos at Cole's prom. More on that later.

Kate loving on Maddie!

And Jordyn, too!

This photo may be one where you "had to be there", but it's such a fun memory. Maddie was quite taken by the whoppie cushion the girls were playing with. Her reaction to sitting on it were quite priceless and cause for lots of laughter.

What a fun time we had just hanging out!
