It's football season!

Maddie is running around the house, saying, "Touchdown, Touchdown!" I think she is getting it from mommy!

Madison's little sister (to be)

In this day and age of technology ever changing. It is amazing that we still have time for each other. However, in the mix of it all we have found out the most wonderful news! We have so much to be happy about and celebrate. It is such an exciting time in life! (G-d willing), we will bring another little girl Smooke in this world Wed. Jan 26, 2011!!! Madison is asking for "a cow or a horse"! We told her that it doesn't quite work that way. But, she will soon understand! And, then it will really hit her, after the baby comes. She is so sweet and nurturing to her baby dolls. So, we know that she will be such a good big sister!

Much love to all our wonderful, caring and equally joyous family and friends that we get to share in all the great news! Grandmas, grandpas, aunts, uncles, cousints, we love you all!!!!!!
A, J, M, ?

Another great ultrasound!6-30-10

We heard the heartbeat! It is getting so exciting; anticipating a February 4th due date!! Another Smooke will arrive! Jacqueline, Maddie and I are getting ready. Maddie knows she will be the big sister and that means lots of responsibility - helping mommy, not crying, using her words if there is a problem. Its really gonna change the dynamic around here. Lots of anticipation!

5'10- trip to LA

Malibu, Marina del Ray, Santa Monica, Venice and Manhattan Beaches. We had such a great trip in one weekend! It was so good to make lemonade with Aunt Enid and Uncle Bernard from their lemon tree. It was nice to see Lori Allen and we had such a great time! Maddie drank part of mommy's supposedly decafe latte on the flight home so, that was a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG 3.5 hrs.

Trip to La - 5-14-10

Maddie had a great time seeing her Aunt Enid and Uncle Bernard in LA this weekend. It was a fun trip and she had a great time at Malibu, Venice and Manhattan Beaches and seeing all the boats in Marina del Rey. It was a great time! Maddie had so much fun with her cousin Emily and Meghan in santa Monica.

Maddie's b-day party

Maddie's 2nd birthday party is coming tomorrow at 2 PM. We are getting very excited for the smelly farm animals and hopefully it is supposed to be a nice, bright sunny day! We are very excited for a great big celebration. We have the dual themed Abby Cadabbay and Elmo and On the Farm. Her two favorite pasttimes. Its going to be so much fun. We got her a new birthday tricycle after Sea World San Antonio (which was another fun adventure). She can't quite reach the pedals, so, she Fred Flinstones the trike to record breaking speeds!

March 24, 2008 seems like just yesterday! Hard to believe!

Maddie had a fun time last night meeting Cate, Jen Waldman's 2 month old baby girl. She is in Houston for 2 months with her husband, Mark. It was great seeing her. It has been a long time. Maddie was very good with the baby.

lots to say- Happy New Year 2010

Lots of news and events! It was a great 2nd Chanukah and Maddie, cleaned up with tons of presents from mommy and daddy. She had a great time. We spent New Years with Danit and Brody. It was a 9PM New Years celebration and it was a lot of fun. Because we figured it was new years somewhere at 9pm (Eastern Canada) Maddie has been talking a lot with many new words like Aunt's and Uncles names, grandmas and grandpas, egg, toast, juice, cup, corn, fruit, banana. She loves her doggie (S)ammy- the "s" is still silent. We are getting excited for nfl playoffs and Maddie and Daddy can scream at the tv and say touchdown!! Fun stuff and good times!
