   Our friends Bill & Nicole Mastromanolis were out cruising around in their new car Sunday afternoon and decided to drop by to say hello and check out the munchkin. They had a good time being entertained by Maddie as she chewed on her toes and drooled all over the place.

July 4th

 maddie-4th-211.jpg We took Maddie for her first July 4th event in Havre de Grace. Joined by Kris & Jeff we packed up the munchkin and headed for the parade. She handled everything perfectly…except for a few sirens that were a bit loud !! She got to meet Rayma McRoberts, a co-worker’s wife…and our friend Bobby Parker and his wife Bev and two WWII vets Joe Lofthouse and Ralph Kelly…two men who I have a lot of respect for and have photographed several times over the years. She even handled the fireworks like a champ, just staring up at them in amazement. I guess the long day finally got to her though because she fell asleep during the grand finale!!  All in all it was a great day of fun and adventure with the munchkin. Please see the July 4th page for more photos…there are several there & I still have more to upload so please check back soon !!

Three Down !

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

im-hot278.jpg We are well into the third month of the munchkin and all is going well, though the picture may suggest otherwise. She’s around 13 pounds and about 24 inches tall. Baby sounds and sucking on her hands are new newest things. Madeleine also has a beautiful smile though again,  the photo may suggest otherwise.
