Renaissance Lady

Yes, this is the backside of Maddie. I think her rolls are hilarious - Abby didn't have rolls like this. In fact, I don't remember her having any rolls. Hollie was over the other day, and I was showing the rolls to her. She commented that Maddie looks like one of those Renaissance women from the paintings - where they are looking over their shoulder while resting naked on a couch. I think that captures it.

Summer Fun

Well, summer has come to a close, and we are back at school. Abby has been promoted to the 3 year old class and is enjoying it. Maddie seems to be adjusting well to her infant class.
Below is a gift from Honey. It is an incredible growing mermaid. It started off as a tiny mermaid - something the size of a gumball machine prize. When you put it in water, it grows and grows. So...this was our summer "pet". We eventually tossed it because, while cute, it was also a little creepy.
