1. Emalyn is at such a fun age right now. She still loves her baby doll and carries her all over the place. She usually cuddles her like in this picture, but she just realized the baby had a tag to hold it by and started holding it like this...
...thankfully she's not holding a real baby.
2. Brett is coaching Cade's basketball team this year. This is the first time Brett has coached him in a few years. They both seem very excited about it so hopefully Cade listens well and Dad isn't too hard on his son :)
3. I'm pretty sure Emalyn is trying to learn how to say Maddi. She says "maaaaaa, daa daa" She even said it yesterday when Maddi was at school and I went into Maddi's room to put some clothes away. Maddi is of course thrilled and Cade is not so thrilled.
4. I'm really not a fan of Illinois right now. They have just passed law that the state income tax is increasing by 66%. I hate having a state income tax to begin with and now we will pay several thousand dollars more per year to this stinking state. Ugh...
5. The kids just went back to school last Monday. Today, Friday, they had a half day and Monday they are off all day. One day I'm going to count the number of weeks in the school year that they actually go to school the whole week. Speaking of school, little Maddi continues to struggle with school. It's so inconsistent. One day she does really well and the next day it's like she's never seen any of it before. The school is doing some testing and we are meeting with them later this month to see what the next step is. Last year she had such a great year and this year she just can't grasp it. Pray for our sweet Maddi and for everyone who is working with her (doctors and teachers) so we can figure out what's going on in her little mind.
