Here are some more cute photos of the child from yesterday at mcdonalds. She can be such a photogenic kid. As you can tell I love the close ups. I really try to capture her raw emotion and can sometimes actually do it. But that's why I am always taking a billion pics...because I am trying to capture it and it's not something that can be posed for, ya know? And I love black and white photos too. Thank GOD for digital. I would love to get one of those really good cameras where I can really zoom in. I love my camera that I have now but I just want to do so much more with photos that my camera allows for. Okay...enough of the artsy fartsy talk.

We had swimming this morning. Madison was all excited to show her teacher that she can blow bubbles in the water now. Today we put one of those belts that let you float and swam around abit with that on. She freaks out if you take a hand away from her though. Who am I kidding...I freak out if I take a hand away from her. With having that belt on it was kinda scary cuz I wasn't holding her....the belt was. Mommy isn't ready to let go yet. It's wierd enough having her at ice skating lessons and the teacher having her, not me. I am NOT ready to do that in swimming yet. Do you realize when they are 4, the parent does NOT get to go in the water? What the????? No way am I ready for that. First thing is letting go of your daughter's hand in the pool and the next thing you know is they are off to college already. I am not ready for that. Yesterday Steve and I were talking and I asked him if it went that fast with Tyler and he said yes. It went fast enough for me and I came into the family when I think he was in 9th/10th grade. I guess it takes that many years for you to be able to actually let them go off to college. Okay, I won't jump ahead of the game...she hasn't even started kindgerten yet let alone go off to college. By the way, she's out watching a Barney cartoon. I just heard the snack drawer open. That is so funny to me. She yelled, don't come out and then opened the snack drawer. Funny child. I just yelled out "what cha getting?". It was a cracker. I had best go check on her now. Bye!
