4/27/10 - Zoo with Friends

Our friends Alex and Kathleen Seleny were in town this week with their children Noah and John. Dad took the day off so Madison could join Alex and the two boys at the Fort Worth Zoo where everyone had a great time. The new reptile and fish exhibit was a huge hit as you can see on the left picture where Noah and Madison were watching fish swim. Madison was also a fan of the elephants (right picture) but kept a tight fist on her bunny which is close to reaching Velveteen status.

4/18/10 - Big Hugs for Dolce

Madison loves her puppies! Today she sat on the couch with our labradoodle Dolce and "talked" to her for 20 minutes straight. Dolce was very kind and listening intently. To show her appreciation, Madison gave Dolce hugs! Click here for a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGDerMdu9K8&feature=youtube_gdata

4/18/10 - Trip to the History and Science Museum

Madison is a sucker for the Fort Worth Science and History Museum so when this weekend was a rainy washout we headed there on Sunday. She had a great time as usual with the childrens' experiments and such, but we also browsed through the history section where she was thrilled to play on the mock trolley car. here, she's ponders the meaning of life while watching a serene waterfall.

4/17/10 - Madison's First Swim Lessons

I enrolled Madison in swimming lessons recently and today was our first adventure into the pool. She did great! They took her through several exercises in the pool (with me present) such as sitting on the side and falling into my arms, kicking and pulling, sitting on pool floats, and going down a slide into the water. Next week she will do the same exercises and will try putting her entire head underwater.madison_swimsuit_20100417.JPG

4/4/10 - Easter 2010

Dad and Madison went to church this morning for Easter Services and then joined Tory and Deedee Pietzsch and Tory's mother Donna for lunch in Colleyville. Madison enjoyed the brunch very much - but took a huge nap on the way home. Probably from all the food in her belly. The Easter bunny Deedee gave her was a huge hit and she's still sleeping with it almost a month later.

3/28/10 - Duckies!

Madison and Dad went to the duck pond at Trinity Park today and tossed bread to the ducks and geese. Madison had a great time - but mostly chasing the pidgeons as you can see in the video link below. After chasing birds and ducks for a while we strolled over to a live band playing and Madison showed off her dance moves.

3/27/10 - Diggin the History Museum

Dad and Madison went to the Fort Worth Museum of History and Science today. We had a great time with the kid friendly experiements but also checked out the Dino Dig where kids can dig in the sand to uncover dinosaur bones. Madison had a great time - I think she also enjoyed striking this model pose in the wind.
