Maddie's back in school and having play dates with her friends (she had two this week). One was at our house - a tea party. Maddie had very specific costume, food, drink and centerpiece requirements. As you can see, all requests were granted (it's not a great idea to tell Maddie no when she's planning a party, which is a genetic trait she got from her mom, who probably got it from her Nana).
Isabelle is still a "belle"of a baby. She did have one rough day this week - Ally took her for her 4-week appointment with the doctor, where she received a shot and a cauterized belly button. I can't remember the official name of the condition that necessitated the belly button cauterization, but it's kind of like a little belly button hernia. Anyway, her skin was all black, then red and raw post cauterization, and I'm actually surprised she wasn't more out of sorts - even on her worst day (at least so far) Isabelle is a "sweet" baby.
Here's a couple more pictures - Isabelle in her Sunday dress and Maddie the cowgirl.
