June Update

We started out the end of May and early June with a trip up to Indiana to visit family. Here is Maddie and Grammy.

Here Maddie enjoys some of the super-cool toys that Grammy has acquired...

As you can see, in Indiana you can lounge around in the grass without having to worry about fire ants devouring you in 10 seconds!

My brother Matt with their 7 week old baby girl, Olivia, and Maddie and Mike strike a pose.

Maddie and Granddad Allyn visit.

Maddie and Grandpa Meyer visit.

Maddie and Nana Meyer visit. Maddie's entranced by the lighted fan... it broke... and I haven't been able to find another one since!

These three pictures were taken in Florida on our bus ride out to the Causeway on site at Kennedy Space Center. We were there to view the launch of STS-124.

Counting down to the launch. Maddie doesn't know what's coming, but you can tell she's excited. Waaaay off in the distance, you can see the launch pad.

Maddie catches a quick nap before the launch...

Molly and Maddie strike a quick pose during the launch of STS-124. There's nothing like a space shuttle launch. It's too bad there are only a few launches left... ever.

Another shot of the launch.

Maddie now prefers standing. He's becomming quite good at it too. There are occasional spills and falls, but she's getting the hang of it!

Here is Molly reading one of Maddie's new books to her. Maddie really enjoys a good book... she primarily enjoys chewing on, or destroying them, but once in a while, reading them is a pleasure as well.

Here is Maddie in... well... yeah, her sailer suit.

Maddie and Molly playing with some bubbles... doesn't really need more explanation than that!

Maddie sure has taken a liking to Ginger and Vaska. As you can see, Vaska is no where to be found in these pictures. At six years old, he's just a little to "over-the-hill" to be getting his hair pulled out by a 9 month old baby. Ginger on the other hand, loves it!
