Maddie stole her Mommy's candy. She's got a good grip on that thing, but we thought it may be a little early to let her eat it. She'd probably be up for a week straight with that sugar injection, but the good part is that she doesn't have any teeth to ruin.
Breakfast Club is a great tradition at Purdue. You see, the kiddies get up early and go to have some drinks, but the best part is the outfits. It's an understood tradition that costumes are necessary. Here we have the best costume I've seen to date. A.C. Slater. He had the Jeri Curl, the cutoff Bayside jersey, and of course stone-washed jeans.
Way to represent.
Rachel showed Gran what a good little builder she is. Future Purdue engineer? Keep an open mind Gormongs...:)
Boiler Up! The girls were ready to cheer on the Boilermakers, but apparently it didn't work. Jill and I went up to West Lafayette, and the game was pretty ugly...
Maddie and Pap on the couch together. She got to spend some serious quality time with everyone.

Just hangin' out with the kiddies.

Pictures from Shannon - Ann Arbor - September 9th

Back in September we went up to Ann Arbor to go to Jason and Meredith's wedding. I just got these pictures from Shannon (he was having some camera issues), so I'm posting them now. Here's Shannon and Amie at the reception...

Here's the family-unit.She's not exactly flower-girl material yet, but Maddie still had a good time (we think?). I really like the above picture of our family, since it's pretty unusual that we're all dressed up at the same time. Usually it's a Purdue t-shirt and a onesie, although I think I'm growing out of my onesie...
Here's a nice picture of the newlyweds. It was a great time, and we all had fun. Unfortunately the outdoor wedding was a bit interesting as the sprinklers in the Union's courtyard came on about 10 minutes before Meredith came down the aisle. Luckily they got the water turned off and the ceremony went off without a hitch.

What have we been doing???

It seems like each day brings new craziness! We have tried to stay on top of this thing, but it has been difficult. I figured I would put some pictures on to kind of update you all on what we have been up to. Unfortunately, it hasn't been too much!

Maddie and I went to have lunch with Daddy on Tuesday. This is her in her carseat. I had just asked her if she was ready to go see Daddy. I guess she was! She has been in a really good mood (and so have Chuck and I) because she has been sleeping almost 10 hours at night! She goes down between 10 and 11 and is up about 8! It certainly makes for very happy parents!

Last weekend Pop and Grandma came for a visit. We spent Saturday morning at the Indiana Fall Boat and RV show. Maddie loved it so much that she slept the entire time! After that, it was home to watch Purdue lose to Notre Dame (but hey, they are still 4-1). Maddie was finally able to wear her Purdue shirt. It was a little big, but that's okay, it is the spirit that counts! Boiler Up!
