some recent pics...

I'm so happy to be able to post a few recent pictures.  My friend, Lindsey sent me just a few from the last few weeks.  I need to bring a memory stick over to get ALL of the photos...but I couldn't wait to post just a few fun ones...
We have had a full and very fun summer so far!  Madelyn is full of energy and we're keeping busy.  It has been VERY hot here in Seattle...like record breaking 103 degrees HOT.  Crazy, I know.  Who would have thought it could get that hot in Seattle!

Here Maddie is gabbing on her cell phone...a true mimic of her mommy...perhaps she's subtly trying to tell me something...oops.
The camping trip that my camera disappeared on :(  BOO!
Buds for life!

On the HOT HOT 10o degree days here in Seattle, Lindsey, me, and the girls escaped to her parents house in Bellingham.  They live on a lake (house behind me!) and it was wonderful to swim the days away and boat around to stay cool :)  Thanks for having us Frank and Sandee!  Madelyn has truly become a water baby.  Between our camping trip and this lake trip...Maddie has NO fear of the water (a little frightening!) and wants to swim in the deep end with her life vest and "crabby" tube...pretty cute!  Being the swimmer that I am...I couldn't be more excited!!
You would think these two were sisters for how often they see each other!  They interact like sisters too...love one minute, antagonize the next...two mischievious little girls! 

At a nearby park, here in Seattle.

I just LOVE this crooked little smile picture!

Just love them eyes!!

I love the one of you two! So beautiful...both of you! I think that she is the perfect mix of you and Kurt.

Our summer has been really mild! We got a taste of typical MI summer this weekend. It was great to finally really feel the heat! I miss it - send some our way! : )

Miss you lots!
