Carving Pumpkins

In the spirit of the season Mike and I did some pumpkin carving. It was a lot of fun -- it'd been at least 10 years since we'd last carved one up!

Maddie's Greatest Hits

Since I've been way behind in posting to the blog, I figured I'd post some highlights of Maddie's first two months on this earth.

We're able to get consistent smiles out of Maddie now. It started around the end of September. Here is one of my favorite pictures of Maddie. Molly's sister, Lainie took it during her visit.

In order to document Maddie's growth for our family up North, I'm periodically taking a picture of Maddie with these two stuffed animals. This should give them a good point of reference for her growth!

The dogs have been great with Maddie. The trick is keeping Ginger from licking her. Luckily Ginger listens well, and only manages to get a quick one in once in a while.

Vaska is, of course, the good dog. He likes to keep an eye on Maddie. He gets stressed out if he can't get to her - e.g. if we have Maddie behind closed doors for whatever reason.


We had visits from all of Molly's siblings - Lainie, Renee (Andy's wife), Andy, and Ali.

Maddie enjoyed wearing her "first Purdue shirt" from Uncle Matt.

Maddie got to meet the bulk of the ADCO group at lunch at Don Pico's. It was great for Molly to get together with everyone too. We had a good time.

Getting close to Halloween in this one. As you can see, it's Daddy's Little Pumpkin.

We made it out to a Pumpkin Patch. Well, as much of a Pumpkin Patch as you can have in the city anyway. We were looking to get some cute pictures with some pumpkins... We did get these two pictures...

Tremayne and Abi came to visit us yesterday. They were out enjoying the perfect weather. We had a great visit! Abi is an absolute sweetheart!!

And the last picture of the post. It's just Molly and Maddie hanging out on the bed. The late afternoon lighting is just so great in that room for picture taking. Not to mention two fantastic girls in the picture!
