As promised, here’s part two of our impromptu photo shoot with Baby Maddie!

Maddie and my aunt Donna (her grandmother)

She found a new friend in the backyard

She loved just sitting and picking grass.

What an environmentally friendly little lawnmower. . .

Oh, that little bow KILLS me.

Mother and daughter.

Fun fact: Maddie looks almost exactly like my cousin Michelle (her mom) did when she was a baby. Michelle was my closest cousin when I was growing up even though she lived so far away. She introduced me to Alanis Morissette and Mr. Bean many, many years ago. It’s crazy to think about how much our lives have changed since spending summers on my grandparents farm.

Next up on my girls’ weekend in Texas: my love affair with the retail heaven that is IKEA
