Mani Day!

We were lucky enough to have Madi come stay with us for a few weeks. It was so fun to have her around but I'm pretty sure it was torture for her to be away from her friends and fun summer for that long. We did try to make her stay pleasant and stocked up on her favorite foods. As you can see she is quite the health food nut.

 We ventured out a few times while she was here and made it to the 6th floor museum in Dallas. Here we are in front of the grassy knoll.

 

Madi was kind enough to share some of her fashion sense with us

and teach Hawkes lots of new things... Here she is showing him the intricacies of reenacting nacho libre scenes

 And of course how to take selfies. Such an important skill these days.

 Hawkes and Madi were best buds while she was here.

They enjoyed long walks,
 

and story time.

 Mostly you could find Madi watching the ipad or on her phone or doing both at the same time. Sometimes she just needed some alone time, and what better place than the tub.
 

She also enjoyed being a creep while people napped.
 

 And Madi/Hawkes photo shoots were daily occurrences while she was here.



We were so sad she had to go back home. 

Thanks for coming and playing with us. We love you so much and wish you could always be with us. My self esteem has dropped drastically since you left, since no one thinks I am funny anymore. Have the best 16th birthday ever! I can't believe how fast it has gone by. I am so proud of the lady you are becoming, besides the occasional bad attitude. I will let that slide though since you are a teenage girl and probably just misunderstood. Wish I was there to celebrate and make your party awesome. In your honor I will eat pie, drink dr pepper, and watch wipeout today though. Love you so much! Thanks for being my other half
