I cannot believe we are INTO THE DOUBLE DIGITS with Miss Maddie.

(Yes that deserves all caps.)

A big event in her life this past month was a visit from my parents—her Grammy and Poppy!

There was much reading of Five Little Pumpkins!*

And snuggles and kisses in general….

We also celebrated our first Halloween! Maddie was a little Hermione, and they went to Trunk or Treat at their parish.
