Teenager in the House

It is official, we have a teenager in the house. Madison turned 13 the day we were traveling back from New England, so there wasn't a lot of hubba-ba-loo that day. We had a small party on Saturday night. She invited three friends over and I took them to see the movie Secretariate. CAUTION - SIDETRACKED - GO SEE THIS MOVIE.

Anyway, the girls loved the movie and I enjoyed watching them sit on the edge of their seats waiting to see if the horse won the triple crown. They were shocked and amazed at the end of the movie when I told them it was a true story. They all loved it.
We came back and had some cake (um, yeah, the BEST cake - chocolate mousse from La Baguette. The girls played Wii and I of course took photos (no they are not posted here). Below are some interesting facts (13 to be exact) about our wonderful daughter, Madison Jo.
