My wife!

Here are some pics I took of my beautiful wife, Stephanie. We wanted to take some pictures to document our daughter, and to have something to remember. They are not meant to be dirty, they were taken to celebrate life. I hesitate to post them, but I am so proud of her and think she looks amazing, and want others to know that it's a perfectly natural thing to do. We love celebrating our relationship, and this is one more way to do that. Oh, and by the way, these are the ones she gave me permission to post. LOL Enjoy!!

Our Madelyn Shower

Jeez, what an amazing day! Being a guy, I have never been a part of anything like this before. I know showers are something that people just wanna knock out, and it's all about the gifts, but it was much more than that for us. Steph has been wanting to get together with friends and family, and this was the perfect opportunity. We had over 50 people at our house to hang out with, talk to, and eat and drink with. We had pasta with red sauce, penne with chicken and broccoli, a huge salad with pepperoni and mozzarella, tons of fruit and veggie trays, onion dip, raspberry cake from Diane, the lady who made our wedding cake. Brownies, chips and dips, sangria, red and white wine..tons of beer and pop.....It was amazing

Most importantly, we were both overwhelmed at the outpouring of love for us. People sewed, crafted, painted, and bought things for our daughter. It was great to get so many nice things to help in raising our daughter, but most importantly it was great to see people smiling, having a good time, and being a part of a most special day. Here's a pic of Steph and me holding our cake.

Here's a picture of all the gifts in my office. Insane!!

Our friends Mike and Cathy painted Madelyn's name on some block letters. We love the designs and colors...We're gonna put these over her crib!

Here are some other pics from the shower. Thank you to everyone who came out, we can never thank you enough!!



Madelyn's Completed Room

Hey there!

So, Madelyn's room is finally done. We did a few differen't things in the room. We ordered beautiful bedding from JC Penny's. It seems to have everything going on: Stripes, Polka Dots, Animals...Very colorful and fun. We got the furniture from JC Penny's too. It's all done in a dark cherry wood. The lamp and shade are from Pottery Barn and Steph wanted to hang some fun balls on each side of her crib. We also ordered these circle decals from the internet. You can peel and remove them ....We chose to do an accent wall with them. Paint is from Sherwin Williams...Picture frames are from Pottery Barn...Soon to be baby in crib is from Glenn and Steph...LOL

8 month update!

Wow! We're in our 8th month already. As I do the math, We'll be meeting Madelyn in about 47 days. I can't tell you the feelings of anticipation, nervousness, pride,and love.....It's everything all wrapped up. I can only begin to imagine how being a parent will play out. I'm 35, and up to this point I have had to care for our pets. I protect my wife and my mom, but they are independent people who dont need me to care for them every second of the day. Knowing that you are responsible for shaping a person's thoughts, feelings, and emotions is such a blessed gift.

Steph is doing well. She is growing every day now, but still maintains all her beauty...Inside and out. She is basically all-stomach. Our shower is this Saturday and we are so excited. We are most happy about getting all our family and friends together. Dont get me wrong the gifts are great, but we honestly just want to be surrounded by loved ones. We're having it at the house. We have it catered by Nino's Italian restaurant, and I'm also having a guys lounge upstairs...Guitar Hero, beer and wine...No baby games, just a party with onesies and diapers!

Madelyn's room is done. We got in all the furniture and I'm finished with putting her crib together (that was fun)......I'll be posting some pics soon

So, that's pretty much it for now. Now, back to the back rubs. Thank you all for reading, for your advice, and your support of our show!!

Take care

Glenn :)
