Happy Thanksgiving, Matt and Madeline. Your little “turkey” is so cute. Thanks for sharing your lives with me. Blessings from Texas.
Happy Thanksgiving Matt and Madeline! A friend forwarded your blog a couple months ago, and I check it every day. One thing I’m thankful for today is your daughter’s BEAUTIFUL smile – she always makes my day!! Hope you both had a Thanksgiving surrounded by family and friends. She sure looks warmer than I am in Chicago!
That is a big turkey! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
HaPpY FiRsT ThAnKsGiViNg MaDdy!!!

Matt & Maddie: Happy Thanksgiving, what can I say Love the pic!!!!! Dot
Willow has that exact same outfit!! Happy T-Day
Happy Thanksgiving M&M! Hope all was well, and you are overstuffed!
Happy Thanksgiving- hope you’re having fun in the MN–that’s where I’m from!
See Matt, you ALWAYS bring the nice weather home with you… how awesome that you guys could sit outside to take that picture today! Love it.
Happy Thanksgiving to you both and to your families. Hope you all had a great day!
::hugs::
Love it! Happy Thanksgiving!
P.S. Troy peed all over his onesie the other day, so after changing his diaper at the mall, I snapped it back over his pants. Big ups to Madeline!
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
I just looked at that pic and out loud said.,….”oh god, she is cute….” What a sweet happy child…….have a great weekend~
Cutest picture! I’m thankful to be “Part” of your lifes. Babykins is getting more beautiful every day. Bless you, Happy Thanksgiving. Cindy
Cute little turkeys! That is a fun picture!!
I had my son Nicholas in the same outfit today! Hope your day was good.
My bet is the turkey weighs more than Madeline. Hoping you are surrounded with family and/or dear friends for M’s first Thanksgiving.
Awwww, this was to cute. Happy Thanksgiving, I hope you had a wonderful day. Love the outfit.
Happy Thanksgiving, Madeline and Matt!
mmmmmmmmm Deep fried turkey is the shit.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Hahahah very cute!!! Thanks you Madeline, Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
Happy Thanksgiving Matt and Madeline. Enjoy your time in the Land of 10,000 Lakes.
Happy Thanksgiving Matt and Madeline!
I enjoyed the video of Madeline rolling over. It should be fun for you watching her attempts to crawl. I watched my nephew attempting this and he would be on all fours just rocking back and forth, then he got it! He is two now, and just running all over the place. I said to my brother tonight, this must be exhausting to chase him all over. He said it is, but worth it. Thanks for sharing your life with all of us.
yummy! we deep fried our turkey too!
oh and maddy looks at the raw turkey just like i do!
hope you have had a wonderful, happy thanksgiving!
I know I´m late… but Happy Thanksgiving anyway….
I think you live around LA, right? My ex-host-family (while I was an au pair) lived there and miss them soooo much! BTW, have you ever thought about getting an au pair for Maddie?
I wish you a Happy Thanksgiving, Matt, and to your family, and Liz’s family. Or maybe I should be more realistic and wish you all just a Bearable Thanksgiving — I’m sure that would be good enough this year.
I can’t imagine how many hard and painful moments you all must have had today (ugh…yesterday…late night catching up on work for me). Not that it’s a walk in the park the other days, but holidays do have a way of bringing out the suck.
But I also believe that if I’ve ever had the pleasure and honor of meeting a group of strong, brave, loving people who can wring joy and gratitude out of the shittiest of circumstances, and not just find solace in, but truly embrace and celebrate all their IS to be thankful for amidst agony, you folks are so it.
So I’m going to back to wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving, after all. If anyone could pull it off, I know it’d be you guys, and I hope that you did.
Think of you often. Warmly. Hope we run into you while you’re in town! xo
PS: I am loving your “Madeline says…” series! Even beats Schulz’s “Happiness is…”
They are about the same size!! lol
Soooo cute!
Happy Thanksgiveng for you too!
God Bless You Both!

Happy EVERY day to you both xXx
Happy Thanksgiving Matt and Madeline! Hope your staying warm here in the MN
HEHEHEHE!! Love the picture – the turkey looks bigger than Madeline! Hope you both had a good Thanksgiving, surrounded by family and friends.
How funny…love the pic! HAppy Thanksgiving.
welcome back to the mn – is that the onesie OVER the pant trick again? love it!!! happy turkey day to you and yours too!
Ha! Love the look on her face!
What an adorable pictre, almost looks like Maddy is trying to dance with the turkey, lol!
Hope you all had a great Turkey Day!!!
Lookat that turkey! And also the bird! Hope you’re having a nice time with family and friends.
Hmm now I get the onesie goes over the pants. Sorry I do it the other way. But I do put the onesie over the tights oh and I guess if there is a dress going over top of the pants and onesie then the onesie goes over the pants. I guess the combination’s are endless. Beautiful bird, Beautiful baby.
I saw this while online Christmas shopping and immediately thought of you:

Hope it was a great Turkey day…looks like Miss M enjoyed that it!
Adorable! Love how she is looking at that! Nice weather we are having in MN huh? No snow yet!
Happy First Thanksgiving!
Whenever i see raw poultry i can’t help but think of the Peter Gabriel video for Sledgehammer with the dancing chicken carcasses.
on a serious note, i’ve been thinking about and hoping your friends and associates in India are safe.
thanks for sharing your beautiful madeline with us through such awesome photos and writing! hope you two had a great holiday together.
*smiles* Hope you guys had a lovely Thanksgiving! I so do the onesie on the outside of the pants too. Keeps the pants up, so it works.
Onesies over pants are perfection. Especially on Madeline. Nice turkey babe.
Matt, this picture is amazing. I have followed your blog for about 6 weeks now and love it. I love your pictures…you take ones with such a good eye. But I am amazed at your great sense of humor. Know that we in Atlanta love the blog. Keep it up!
Love it!! You truly are blessed with the world’s happiest baby!! Just wanted to say THANK YOU for bringing the nice weather back *home* with you again ~ I knew you would – That ray of sunshine seems to follow you back to the MN every time – It was great to see you guys this week…Here’s hoping there’s a new baby for you to meet before you head back!!
hope you guys had a fabulous day!
can i just say that she would have looked way more cute in a martha stewart knock off?
Awesome photo. Happy Thanksgiving!
Matt,
Love the pic! OMG Maddy is so big and Gorgeous as ever! Hope you had a very good Thanksgiving Day w/ Maddy and the rest of your fam!
OMG, the onesie over the pants is killing me. She is quite fashion forward isn’t she?
Hope your Thankgsiving was peaceful…
What a cute picture! Happy Thanksgiving Maddy and Matt.
Hope you guys had a great Turkey Day!! Didn’t notice the pants under onesie right away – too funny!!! Did Maddy get to try any Thanksgiving yummies??
Your daughter is beautiful, you have alot to be thankful for even in your roughest of moments.
Peace to you and yours during this holiday season
Awesomeness.
I hope you don’t think I’m psycho by saying this, but I catch up with Maddie’s activities via your website in the same way that I catch up with my nieces and nephews via email. I feel like you and Maddie are part of the family, and I so look forward to every new picture. She is simply the most beautiful baby I’ve ever seen. People probably always tell you that, but I take care of babies for a living and I promise you… she’s just damn adorable!
Oh goodness she is just cuter every time you post a picture. How is that possible? My daughter used to ask every time she saw me looking at your site “who’s that, mommy?” Now she just says “there’s Maddy, mommy!!” She’s just a doll, Matt. Have a wonderful time!!!
I am grateful for your blog – seriously.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and Maddy!!
Myrna
hope your travels and time with friends and family was awesome.
gobble, gobble.
Thinking of all of you at the beginning of this holiday season. God has provided you with so many blessings, and the opportunity to bless so many others. The only thing wrong with that is not having Lizzy here to share in the joy of life. Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers, as always,
Amy and Emily, too!
love how maddy and the turkey are about the same size!!!
beautiful happy baby!
happy belated turkey day to the 2 of you!
hi matt.
found your blog through random clicks. just over two years ago, i lost my baby during the delivery. (my marriage fell apart shortly after that)…i see we’re on two opposite ends of the spectrum here. but i wanted you to know how encouraging your strength is and that madeline is beautiful. you’re doing a great job. and it’s hard, but its going to be okay.
Happy Belated Thanksgiving to you both and all of your family and friends. Zoe wore that same adorable outfit on Thanksgiving! Last night when I got on the computer for a moment I had her on my lap and we looked at your newest pics on Flickr – she was all smiles and pointing at Maddy the entire time! She has started to say “baby” and it was clear as day when she was looking at pics of your Maddy. It was too cute!
Hope you have safe travels home!
Take care,
Jen and Zoe in the MN
Happy Thanksgiving!
So cute, that girl. And I also chuckled about the onesie over the pants. But who cares, right?! She’s still adorable.
Hope all of you had a GREAT Thanksgiving! Maddie looks so cute & like she is going to dive after that turkey. While you were in MN, we were in Ontario, Pasadena, & Santa Monica. The Cali weather was beautiful!
Happy Thanksgiving!!
What a cutie-patootie! How did she like the weather in the MPLS? I hope you guys had an excellent holiday!
I hope the both of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with all your family and friends. The pic is too cute!! She looks like she’s thinking “Oh my gosh, he’s naked!?!”
Someone needs to update!
I love Madeline with the Turkey!
Hey Matt,
I bet you love the fact that Michael Phelps won the Sportsman of the Year Award…lol
Glad you had a nice Thanksgiving! Love the picture!
Madeline is sooo cute but you knew that already!
I’ve been reading and catching up to this last post and I think you’re absolutely amazing! I first learned about you from Singlemomseeking. Oh btw I love all the pictures
Good luck on your journey!

Maddy looks so much like you all the time but in her Thanksgiving photos in the MN, with her rosy cheeks, she looks like Liz.
I lost the father of my children and every time I look at them, I see him. No one else sees it, but I do. I hear his voice and I hear his laugh.
It’s been 20 years.
Next time you’re in e.p. (which is where i live) and go to the “burger restaraunt” let me know… it’s my favorite restaraunt EVER! I’d love to meet you and maddie!
