Maddie turns ELEVEN!

From the life and times of an incredibly fun, enthusiastic girl named Madeleine Claire:
At the Derry Children's Museum in Londonderry, New Hampshire
with Nick celebrating one of their birthdays at a friends' house Lover of RED and ladybugs since age 2! This photo personifies Maddie's personality: excited, happy, loves to be outside, loves to take friends to the beach, to the park, or over for dinner or a party... She had a knack for karate when we lived in New Hampshire; we never found a place in Texas and then in time, she was geared up for dancing, singing, and sports instead.

Another classic shot of Maddie that portrays her zest for life and acting.

Her 6th birthday party in New Hampshire at the Children's Museum. She loved and still loves rock-climbing and being with friends.

I love this face! The solitaire game she learned how to play at age 4 or 5, and particularly our favorite "Rod Stewart" wig that she wore (for fun, obviously) and often added a bunch of my clothes to the mix. Ted donned this wig for a ward Christmas party when we were supposed to come dressed like travelers of Jerusalem; he coupled it with a knitted hat, a white bathrobe, and plastic sandals. One friend, who saw him from a distance, asked if I had brought a homeless man to the ward party! :)

This space anxiously awaiting Robyn's insertion of baby photos of Maddie!!!
