Spring Break

...was just that.  A break.  In the truest sense of the word.  Now that Madi is in school full time, I find that our free time together is even more precious than it was before.

Last week we enjoyed time off from schedules and plans. And time off from people, too (no offense:)

Madi made it quite clear that she had only one desire: to spend time with her little brother.

And she did. We abided by her wishes, and the two played wonderfully together all week. They truly enjoyed each others company while they swam, played in the yard, ate lunch together, and simply hung out. We took family outings to the beach, to the zoo, and to the community pool. Much like she did with Daniel, Madi even got to dress up her little brother and named him "Princess Charlotte."

I'm not sure who's more bummed out about the end of Spring Break, but I think it might just be Charlie. We are all very excited for Summer break, now that we've had a taste of freedom again!
