We're Back!

Has been a very great two weeks of vacation time with Grammy, Poppi, Tripp, Kathryn and Ranny.  Oh and Dozer, the great big dog that likes to sit on her lap when she's on the couch!

Madi had a blast spending time with them.  Poppi said that she and Grammy would spend lots of time reading in bed next to each other.  She was able to go see the show "Annie Get Your Gun" with Poppi and also went ice skating at the Galleria.  We got to see the video footage and she did a really great job!!

Today they came over our house and we watched (or at least had it on in the background) her new favorite movie that she has seen at least ten times with them:  the 1985 movie - CLUE!!  She can practically quote the entire movie!  I love that she gets the sarcasm and really wity humor in it.

Then we all ate out at Buca for a Father's Day Dinner.  Was really great to spend time together.

Madi started writing a book while she was with them.  So since my mom has published an e-book for the Kindle before, I'll be using her knowledge to help Madi publish her book as an e-book.  Think it'll be a fun summer activity for her!  She already has written the prologue and first two chapters.

This week will be a very calm one.  Or at least it is on the calendar!  We'll plan out some fun activities that we want to do this summer - some science projects, new recipes, painting activities and places we want to go.  Then we can figure out when we want to do them so we make time for them.  We're having Madi do three days of math and two days of writing her book.  She chose to do one or two sections of IXL on Mondays, FasttMath on Wednesdays and Fridays and work on her book on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  Will help keep her skills up through the summer!

We have VBS a week from tomorrow.  Can't wait!!!
