My sweet niece, Madeline, is at such a cute stage right now. It's amazing how much personality a little two-year-old can have. I've gone to my sister's house a couple nights this week for dinner and as soon as I walk in the door, Madeline says "Yara! I cah'd you on my ceh phone!" She loves having pretend conversations on her phone and even includes the "uh-huh..." and "oh...really?" that she hears everyone else saying.
Last Sunday, Jared and I had brunch with their family and afterwards Mary Leigh and I decided to make beaded bracelets with memory wire. Madeline plops down on the floor beside me, decides she's also going to make a bracelet, and promptly starts threading the beads onto the wire. I was shocked. (Note to self: never underestimate a two-year-old.)
She ended up making the bracelet (shown in the pic). She's such a sweetheart - thinking about her makes me smile.
And this guy makes me smile, too. Little Oliver was perfectly content shoveling handful after handful of sand into his mouth. These were taken during our trip to San Diego this past summer.

Madiline is so darling! She looks a lot like her brother now that she is getting older! I sometime under estimate Ayla and what she is capable of! That is cool that Madiline made her own bracelet, cute!
I miss you and your sister! I still have to have you girls over to see where I live now!
