too cute

yesterday we went to visit newlyweds sarah (aka papps), will and maddie and noah at their new house. maddie who just turned 6 was absolutely enamored by luci. she bashfully asked me if she could hold her and of course i said yes, and immediately after i passed luci off, maddie swooped her up and out of the room, only for sarah to race after her and tell her to stay by us! lol
maddie fed lu her dinner and was the best little babysitter. we walked to the park across from their house and maddie insisted on pushing her in her stroller. sarah and will said it was a dream come true for maddie, being able to play with a real live baby doll! and while walking by the public pool in the park, one of maddie's friends saw her and waved "hi maddie!" only to make maddie feel even prouder to be showing off her new baby doll friend luci.
below are some cute shots:

not sure why trav's man hands are in the pic.

proud maddie, aka mini papps showing off her new novelty.

one seriously cute kid.

new buddies...

they aren't close enough in age to do any serious damage to society like papps and i, but i can see in a few years luci really thinking maddie is one of the coolest girls ever.
