The robot actually made me laugh for the first time this morning reading this.

Matt, I’m just getting caught up on your blog. I’m glad to hear you ate a healthy meal. Things will get better with time.

On another note, I just had to comment that the pictures of the robot on the beach are excellent. I especially love the one of you watching the sunset with the robot.

Your disposition seems to be improving. You’re very strong. Keep it up.

Hugs!
Erin

Please keep saying “we” - in the past tense to tell about how much you loved Liz and in the present tense to talk of you and sweet Madeline. She’s so wonderfully lucky to have you as a dad and also to have all of the people in your life who obviously care so much about your family. I am touched by your journey and am rooting for you. Best wishes, from an interweb stranger.

Two good days in a row - amen for small miracles. How nice that you and Maddy are going to spend the night by the water; Issak Denson said, “the cure for everything is saltwater: sweat, tears and the sea.” I hope the sound of the water helps lull you both into a peaceful sleep.

As a member of the 4′11″ club, I can relate to the half amused/half annoyed look on Liz’s face in the photo w/ the height requirement sign. If I had a dollar for every time J has made me do that…

I will be thinking of you and Maddy this weekend.

P.S.
Can I be the president of the Robot Fan Club? This photo shoot really brought out his tender side and I am quite smitten.

P.P.S.
Who won the karate showdown? The robot or the male Broback?
Did they make peace afterward?

So glad you had such a great day! I particularly got a kick out of you and your friend’s milestone “dad” moment when with two hot chicks nearby, you thought only of baby gear. How quickly (and profoundly) your priorities change as a parent can really smack you upside the head, can’t it? (Especially when you find you don’t even really mind.) Reminds me of one of my milestone “mom” days, when on the very day my passport expired (leaving me without a valid one for the first time in two decades after years of globetrotting adventures) I found myself on a car lot buying a minivan. You do what you gotta do — and the kids benefit so much when you can shrug it off with a laugh.

can I just say how much I love that pic of you with your arm around the robot?! I think you might need to give the robot a name, other than just robot. just a thought.
oh I also want to add that I didn’t realize Liz was only 4′11″. I just thought you were incredibly tall…..

So happy to hear about your good day. The robot sure does get around. Like always, love all your pics. Sure do remember the sleepless baby nights. Amazing how a person can function on such little sleep, huh?
Hope you had another good day today. Try to get some zzzz’s when you can.
Take care.

Matt,
I am so happy you had a great day - again. This latest post makes me grin from ear to ear, especially the roller coaster photo. You’ve really got the best friends.
