Happy Halloween


Things are well in Florida, despite recent weather. Pensacola was hit hard with tornado's yesterday, but all we got was a lot of rain and some wind.
Maddie is growing....she weighs in at 13 pounds and 10 ounces. She smiles constantly, especially the mornings, and is trying to talk. She stands while we hold on to her and she loves tummy time.
We are looking forward to visiting Akron this Christmas and should be making travel arrangements soon. I know this time we are going to relax and enjoy ourselves because last year was too much on us trying to see everyone in 1-2 weeks. Go Indians and Browns...and Buckeyes!!!!

Updates and New Pics!!

We uploaded about 10 new pictures to our flickr account on the right. Maddie is growing like a flower and her first word was Hi, she said that about 2 weeks ago. Since then she had her 2 month shots and did excellent, and is also saying red, roar, and other sounds. Mary, being a true speech language pathologist is going to have Maddie reciting her full alphabet by this weekend!

My mother has been visiting us for the last week and is leaving tomorrow, it's been nice having her down spending time with Maddie, and it makes me miss Akron. I guess the other thing that makes me miss Akron is the stupid rednecks I am surrounded by, in all seriousness most people are nice down here, but some are just really dumb, especially in Panama City where I do business sometimes. That places has the best looking beaches anywhere, but when you step off the sand it's all down here from there. Oh well...

We got some good pics of Maddie and her grandma today, check them out.

Other wise work is busy, and has it's ups and downs, but I can't complain. I had a nice talk with my boss today and it was very reassuring. My fraternity brother in Minnesota and I will be running the Pensacola half marathon in February, it's 13.1 miles so it will give me a reason to put down the sweets and run more.

Go Buckeyes, Browns, and Indians!!!!
