KiNdErGaRtEn ReAdInEsS

Today was Maddie's first day in the "big girl" room at preschool...she reminds me everyday that she will be in Kindergarten soon. Where did the time go?!?

FaLl 2o1o...aLrEaDy???

We decided to take advantage of the sunflowers at the Ford Headquarters...Maddie couldn't get enough.

UnClE jErEmY & mAdDiE

This is the longest Maddie has gone without seeing Jeremy and is asking everyone when he is coming home. She is thinking "Saturday." I wish she were right.

SuMmEr TiMe...

Mackinac Island, Virginia Beach, soccer, dance recital, graduation parties, plays, etc, etc.

The past 6 months have flown by and seems like so much has happened...cast on/cast off, dance recital, LA, Vegas, etc, etc. The most difficult thing, thus far, was seeing Jeremy off on his deployment. He left May 21st for who knows how long. We have been able to track him through google alerts, a family website for sailors and lots of digging online. He has seen the Rock of Gibraltar, Romania, Bulgaria and the Suez Canal. He is in the Persian Gulf and we are anxiously awaiting news and information. Maddie has reached her breaking point...she is definitely tired of hearing that he is on his boat. She has been a champ and has sent him letters, cards and pictures. I just cannot believe he has been in for an entire year, already.

Always looking to make a memory...well, mission accomplished. We will never forget that Maddie broke her arm in 2010- the beautiful light blue cast will make its' appearance in her dance photos.
