Madelyn's First Year Picture

Steph and I came across a unique and beautiful kiosk in the mall a few weeks back and decided it was what we wanted Madelyn’s first year picture to be. We got this in a 16×20 and have it in a huge beautiful frame right outside her bedroom. The company is called Storybook Studios Photography and we worked with Julie. Check them out at www.storybookstudiosphotography.com or call her at 1-440-452-8040. We are so amazed by our little girl. God has blessed us with a beautiful child inside and out and a loving family to take care of her. Thanks for checking out my blog!!

What a fantastic day. We literally cleaned the house for 2 days staight because we wanted everything to be just perfect for her 1st birthday. Madelyn had a huge cupcake all her own (courtesy of the bees knees in Medina)..Cupcakes were carrot cake, chocolate tuxedo, and raspberry coconut..Simply fantastic. Check them out..www.beeskneescakes.com Our little girl is so amazing. It was a great day with friends and family, we grilled hot dogs and hamburgers, potato and macaroni salad..Huge vegetable and fruit trays..Here's to you Madelyn Merlot!!!

How time flies

In 2 months, our girl is gonna be a year old. If this is how it is, she's gonna turn 18 in another few weeks. She is standing up now, kind of scooting along the coffee table. Still waiting for her to take her first steps, but I know it won't be long. She is the happiest baby I've ever seen. Always smiling, laughing...She makes me feel awesome everytime I'm around her. Let's keep that going Madelyn, OK??
LOL. Thanks for checking out my pics

Off To Disney World

I'm Packing for Disney World since we're broadcasting all this week for The American Idol Experience. Steph is joining me and it's gonna be the first time since Madelyn was born that we're both gonna be away from her. I am blessed to do what I do and to be able to enjoy this "work" trip, but I'm feeling a bit sad as I take these pics of us packing. Madelyn is 9 months old now. I'm such a wimp! Keep checking back to see all the cool new stuff that is going on in Disney World in Florida. Me? Well I need to go get a tissue :)
