Look, pa: No Cast!

Two weeks after Maddie's arm went into a splint, we heard the news we were hoping for -- she wouldn't need to have a plaster cast. Phew! Here's a pose showing off her healthy arm:



She's back to her little monkey ways: climbing, running, tickling and giggling all day long.

Trick or Treat!

Maddie had a fantastic Halloween! As I type this, she's walking around saying "tick-uh-teet". We'd hoped that she would love her Pebbles costume as much as us, but she didn't want anything to do with either a bone in her hair or carrying a bone. So, she ended up as a hybrid Pebbles-Punker. She quickly learned what it was all about though, and had a unique way of getting candy: After receiving her first piece, she'd just stand there waiting for more. ..and more. ..and more.
