Sorry for the complete lack of updates! Here are some pics from December of last year:

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.

An unfortuntate and not-so-great look.

This past Monday Maddie fell down and bit through her upper lip. ..all the way through the skin below the outer portion. The lip started to look better on Thursday.

Then while running from one end of the couch to the other, she tripped, fell to the floor, and did this:


We're headed back to the Doctor first thing on Monday to see if we go to a permanent cast or if she can stay in this temporary splint for a shorter time. Keep your fingers crossed.

She's got the look..

We REALLY like to see Maddie all dressed up in her different outfits. ..and thanks to her cousin's hand-me-downs and a recent visit from Nana and Papa, Maddie's turning into a bit of a clotheshorse. We thought we'd capture some of her "looks":

Pretty in pink:

"The Sophisticate" (probably ordering one of us around):

Camping @ Sparge!

Some quick pics from our camping trip this past weekend, which will surely be an annual event (as it has been for Maddie's daddy Randall for the past 10 years..) You may notice Maddie's really (REALLY) into making funny faces these days.

Crazy about this tiny camping chair!
