Pigtails Anyone?

When there is a need to brush a baby's hair after a bath, it's time for pigtails.

And yes. I did.

Freckles anyone?

This pretty much sums up Maxwell's personality. He's a ham, but the kind of ham with pineapple and brown sugar all over it. Very Sweet!

A Great Way to End the Year

Olivia and Maxwell have finished another year of school. Olivia had her best year ever in the 3rd grade. She had a fabulous teacher who she LOVED and she learned a ton. Awards day was this past Wednesday and Olivia scored a nifty certificate for all A's this semester and a sweet medal for all A's this year. She also was given a savings bond for having the 3rd highest Scholastic Reading Counts total for the whole school....my little girl loves to read. She has really enjoyed the Little House on the Prairie series the most this year.

Maxwell had a really fun year as well. His school doesn't do "real grades" until 2nd grade but he did receive all S's this year and never had a note sent home from his teacher for bad behavior...he saves all of his rambunctious, wild and strange behavior for home!
