Oh, my Madden. Well, he’s not really mine, but he was for about 2 hours on Tuesday! Michelle had stayed the night, so she hung out with Madden a bit while I put Holden down for his nap. Then I had Auntie/Madden time, which I realized we really haven’t had in a long time (if ever!). I see Madden a lot (at least once a week), but I don’t think I actually had time just to play and talk with only him.

We read books, played with bubbles, and mostly, I helped free his hands and feet from being totally eaten by the couch cushions. Very dangerous work you know! We had a great time hanging out, and I got to get some sweet snaps of him, which is fitting because he truly was my model as I started this venture a few years ago. I absolutely love these top four photos. They all strongly reflect his personality. Thoughtful…curious…goofy…sweet…kind…

The last picture is for Yazzie (Holden and Madden’s Grammy). She had a knee replacement the day before, and Ho, Josh and I went to visit her that night and brought these lilies. Wishing you a fast recovery Yazzie!
