  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 !!

 For Father’s Day we went to Ladew Gardens to see a band called the Crawdaddies, a cajun/zydeco band. Brian, Amy and Eli joined us along with cousins Brian, Erin and Elise and Aunt Kris & Uncle Jeff…we all had a good time snacking on the picnic grub enjoying a few beverages and some good company and good music. For a few more pics please see the Ladew concert page.    

   Just a few more fun pics with the parents.

  Sunday afternoon Madeleine met her cousin Elise for the first time at a concert at Ladew Gardens. The two hit it off great and had a lot of fun dancing and shakin with all the other kiddies to the Crawdaddies, a Cajun/Zydeco band that performed.   

 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.       

 We’ve had Maddie outside several times now for a stroll and Friday was yet another beautiful spring day, so we took the munchkin outside to help build up that immune system and hopefuly fend off those nasty allergies later in life !!! For more pics from Friday’s fun check out the “outdoor baby” page…thanks for lookin !!!

Wow! What a first day! After many hours sitting in the room waiting and hoping that everything would be okay, finally at 2am we started pushing…I have never had three hours of watching the clock go sooo fast.
