maddie-eli999.jpg Our friends Bryan & Amy stopped by with their son Eli, who is six weeks younger that Maddie, the munchkins enjoyed rolling around on the blankets under the moms’ watchful eyes while Bryan and I played a round of disc golf in our yard. Eli actually rolled over for the first time while they were hanging out. Everyone had a lot of fun even with the HEAT…please check out the Hanging with E page for a few more pics !!

July 4th

July 15th, 2008

 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 !!

Murph & Maddie

maddie-murph407.jpg maddie-murph401.jpg maddie-murph139.jpgMurph has been really good with Maddie. So far there haven’t been any incidents other than the occasional jealous Murph trying, and often succeeding, to curl up in our lap next to Maddie. Murph will even rub his chin on her hand while we’re feeding her in the morning…and as you can see nap time works out well for both ! more pics coming soon 

Month number four

July 11th, 2008

maddie-look-329.jpg We are in month four of the munchkin and she’s doing great !! Smiling A LOT and even the giggle with some coaxing.  She is making all sorts of baby sounds and has even rolled over a few times. We’ve given her the superhero name ” The Wiggler”. Outdoors seems to be the place for her…we sit on the porch and watch the squirrels go by or take a stroll around to see what we can see, Madeleine just taking it all in !!
