Here you go, Molly!

This post is just for my dear friend Molly Rank who checks our blog "every five minutes" while on five and six hour conference calls... Hopefully this will bring a smile to your face and get you through the tediousness!

Madelyn is ready for her first Halloween, thanks to her great-grandma Johnson who has designated herself the "holiday outfit" purchaser (wait 'til you see her Thanksgiving garb!). I think the little spiders and bats look kinda cute and friendly, but Maddie doesn't seem to be convinced!


Kurt and I are enjoying our daughter more and more each day. She has started to smile at us, and she's right on the cusp of cooing and babbling...so cute! She loves to have us sing songs to her, and if you hold her little hands and clap them along with the beat, that's even better. We've started reading books to her as well, and she really seems to study the illustrations. Actually, she's already attended two of her mom's book clubs! I'll admit it... I'm doing everything I can to ensure that my daughter is a book lover. She can choose whatever other extracurricular activities she wants--sports, theater, music, etc.--but I really hope that she is an avid, eager reader!

Much love,
Kim
