growing up

here is our best attempt to show the beginings of Maddie first tooth! This is what we are welcomed by each morning well we have now lowered the bed so our little bug doesn't come over the railing.
When I got Maddie from her afternoon nap she was changing the settings on the mobile her cousin Bridger let her borrow that you can see behind her.
She has moved on from baby books and toys and onto the big kid games. She loves to play with anything she see someone else play with and we were playing games with friends and family the other night and so she thought she must give it a try.

Jon Wade, PhD

Jonny, my sister Emily's husband, walked today and received his PhD from Vanderbilt. I cannot imagine the mental strength one must have to obtain such a degree. As many are aware Nashville has been struck from recent flooding which lead to nearly total loss of Em and Jon's condo. So thier week of celebration was changed to a state of emergency and repair. In all this turmoil we hope they are able to find peace, happiness and a moment to celebrate thier great achievement!
While Em and Jon were last here we found these goofy images on my phone to take pictures with. Little did Jon know this would end up on the internet. Love you Jon and Em and CONGRATS!

lake fishing

we have done a little fishing from the shore with maddie but this was our first on jordanelle, in a boat, with a life jacket and with our dear friends ryan and emily. maddie was sure happy to be out enjoying some fun in the sun (and a little wind). she didn't know what to think about the life jacket. she had a serious look the whole time she had it on. nothing like a little power bait to keep the little one entertained. em saved the day when she noticed cody's pole a bending. cody jumped right on it and set the hook. within seconds ryan was there with the net.
the catch of the day and the two proud fishermen.

watermelon

Maddie got to feed herself for the first time this weekend. She sure loved her new seat and tray. We thought watermelon was fitting for the season. It was adorable to watch her enjoy. Sadly my movies wont upload so pictures will have to do.
