Madelynn wanted to try basketball this year and I didn't get any pictures at the first game, since we overslept! Here are a few from the 2nd game. She really enjoys it.
The girls were out front making a snowman today (because we have like 2 feet of snow in our front yard!). Madelynn decided she wanted to knock the icicles off of the house with a shovel for her snowman's arms. Well they fell, and one hit Ava in the head. We got her cleaned up and bandaids on and about an hour and a half later I noticed it was still bleeding a little, so I called my mom up and asked when I should take her in for stitches. After talking to her, I decided I better take her in. She had to get 3! She was so good. She only cried once when they were numbing her up!!
