It's a New Year!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year! I know I know, we've already passed Christmas and the New Year but I'm a little late. Erik and Madeline and I were so excited that we were able to spend some time with my family in Dallas and Erik's family in Arkansas and that everyone was finally able to meet Madeline.

In Dallas, we stayed in my Dad's new house in Kessler. We had a great time hanging out with family and friends and showing off our little one. Several people tried to steal Madeline away (you know who you are) but we weren't having any of it. It was fun having a little one at Christmas even though she is totally unaware of the festivities. The next couple of years will bring lots of smiles, laughter, and presents for our little Madeline. Our trip was much too short but I'll be back in February for a long visit!

We stayed with at Erik's parents new house in Arkansas. How come everyone has a new house except us? Oh well. We had a great time with Erik's family. Kirstin and Brant were so good with Madeline and cousin Kiera is now 3 and so darling. Madeline is going to love following her around in the future years.

Welcome to the World

My dear friend Cori welcomed a precious baby boy, Brady Matthew, to the world yesterday. He is a big boy weighing 8 lbs 14 oz and 21 inches long. We can already tell that he has Cori's nose :) I feel so lucky to have been a part of his birth. Congratulations Cori and Happy Birthday Brady!!

Love at first sight

Baby Brady

I think Madeline should be the San Diego Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association's official mascot. What do you guys think?
