Happy Valentine's Day!


The "Meet Madeline" Open House

Dave and Jill hosted a lovely open house for family and friends to have them meet Madeline. It was a beautiful day and it was wonderful to share our sweet girl with so many friends and family. She of course was spoiled with many unexpected gifts, and Big Brother Connor got some cool new gifts too.

Daddy with his babies!

Madeline's first trip to the zoo. Connor showed her all the animals! We went with our friends Danielle and Kirsten and their kiddos. It was a lovely day!

Connor is 3 1/2!

We celebrated Connor's half birthday yesterday! Hard to believe our baby is 3 1/2 and already a Big Brother! He is a wonderful big brother too. He loves to hold Maddie, feed her bottles, rub her head, etc. He's very attentive to her and just adores her. It will be so fun to see their relationship develop over time. Connor continues to be quite the gem... he is lovable, social, friendly, and has an amazing sense of humor. He's always making us laugh. He recently told us, "When I grow up, I'm going to be a girl... and I will have boobies so I can feed Madeline." Hysterical! He's become quite the story teller and often our dinnertimes are filled with him telling stories about his day. Connor has recently become very interested in games... Candyland, Chutes and Ladders, Jenga, Dominoes, etc. We play LOTS of games! Connor loves to win, but is also developing his sportsmanship skills. He continues to enjoy books and likes to "read" books to us too. He's been enjoying the warm weather with trips to the park and opportunities to ride his scooter and his tricycle. Overall, he continues to bring such joy to our lives. We love you Connor Michael!
