Little Flying Friends

One thing that we've loved so much about living in the quiet little town of Danville, Pennsylvania is the people. We've been blessed with a lot of great friends, especially friends with young children. Maddy has always had a keen ability to remember people's names. In fact, I'm baffled sometimes by how she even knows some people's names at all. For instance, the other day I was Facetiming with my sister Lindsay and her husband, Dustin, was walking around in the background. I don't think Maddy has interacted with Dustin since she was an infant so I was surprised when she unexpectedly and casually blurted out, "Hey Dustin." We were giggling for a long time about that. Anyway, her ability to remember names reflects itself with our friendships. During the day, she regularly asks where people are, ranging from kids her age, to my friends and their husbands.

She loves playing with her friend, Sydney. Although Sydney is a few years older than her, she's always so sweet and tender with Maddy. They run around and play together with Maddy frequently dragging Sydney off on some adventure (aka mischief). A few weeks ago we took the kids to an old airfield for a picnic and bubbles. It was a great day!
