Madison, WI

My sister, Emmie, moved to Madison summer of 2009 and we are pleased that she is close to us out here in the Midwest.  We've been up twice so far and need to go visit more!  We came home from a fun filled weekend in Madison last night - the unfortunate part was Emmie (that's Auntie Em to Liza) wasn't there.  Auntie Em had a course at the NIH and we went to dog sit for our "nephew" Logan.  He was a good host in my sister's absence and we didn't mind letting him out a time or two in exchange for a warm place to sleep. 

The weather in Madison was GREAT at least by our standards - on Saturday it was 40 degrees and sunny! We went to the zoo and even though a lot of animals weren't outside we had fun.  We tried to teach Liza about a camel's hump and she kept asking to see the zebras which we couldn't find.  She had a great time running around and seeing so many other children.  She was disappointed to learn that the playground was closed but we really talked it up for our next trip to see Auntie Em. 

As a thank you to Auntie Em we took pictures of Liza at different spots in Em's house and left them on the frig for her to see when she came back from her trip.  Hope you enjoyed them!  Here are some of the ones we left for her.

Auntie Em, I really enjoyed sitting on my knees and eating my meals at your table.  When I go home I won't want to sit in my high chair anymore. 


Hey look Auntie Em, I colored a picture for you and left it on your frig.  I used "lots" of colors and it was from my favorite Dora coloring book. 


Auntie Em, your living room chairs are fun to be in so I can look out the front window.  Mommy tried to get me to cross my legs and sit like a lady but I wasn't interested in that option.


Auntie Em, I took good care of Logan.  I pet him a lot and let him lick my face.  Daddy took him out to do his business and I got to give him a treat too!


Your couch and coffee table are great for acrobatics! 


Auntie Em, do you see my plate?  I like ketchup too.  Thanks for sharing with me.  How do you like my Elmo bib and my fish tattoo?


Bye Auntie Em!  We had fun.  Come see me soon!
