Round Two... FIGHT!

Christmas play practice can get quite tedious, so we have sparring matches in the office to cool off. Here, you can see Brock doing battle with Madison with their favorite weapon of choice: cardboard tubes. Regular readers of this blog know very well: the force is strong with Madison. Brock didn't stand a chance. His best strategy was to stand there in a defensive posture and hope to block the onslaught with his weak parries. Here, you can see the execution of her maneuver to its full effect, as poor Brock is clearly in some serious trouble.

Practice is running late each night, but things are looking well. Mommy and Daddy are due a long winter's nap soon. In fact, Madison needs one too. We'll catch up after the play - it's what we do!

Until then, Madison's having a great time with all sorts of people at church. Here's a photo we just found of her playing around with a new friend named Jordan, who is a bundle of energy himself! Jordan is apparently going to be a stunt double for a living, that guy you see in movies that throws himself on top of cars in order to catch the bad guys. In this case, he's clinging to Madison's new car as she careens through the office area. You can see more photos about this on another great blogsite dedicated to Jordan and his family called The Amazing Madness of Motherhood. That's where I nabbed this photo from!
