    MABROOK!

    Each baby is a blessing from God. Each child brings with them their own gifts to the family. May Emilia’s gifts be cherished, nutured, and brought to fruition by her loving and caring mother and father. Ameen.

    Matt, I’m so sorry Thanksgiving was harder for you than you anticipated (or maybe you did anticipate it, not that that would have helped ease the pain any). You are such a great Dad to Maddy and when she’s old enough, she’s going to look back at all this and realize just how strong her Daddy is.

    On a brighter note, i think Ms. Madeline likes the colder weather because it means NEW fashion! New hats, scarves. A lady does like some options.

    Lastly, super HUGE congrats to your friend AJ and his wife and their new addition. Can’t wait to see some photo opps of the babies together.

    I believe the teething rings in the first pic were “recalled”. Here is the link.

    Apparantly it can release the balls inside and be a choking hazard.
    Just thought i’d throw it out their.

    She’s looking cute as ever.
