when i’m so, so tired.
or overwhelmed.
or sad.
you.
you always
manage to pull
me up
from my spot,
and make me
everything but the
things above.
well, when
i’m really tired
it would be nice
if you would
let me sleep
for just a
couple of minutes
instead of:
1. yelling, “boo!”
2. jumping on me
3. punching me in the balls.
but even when
you do this stuff,
i still love
you.

“yelling boo”–ha ha! Love it.
your post made me laugh. love the picture and the stories of your guy’s journey. you are an amazing dad, maddy is so blessed to have you!
Ah but punching daddy in the balls is so much fun! Its funny to see him being silly, double over, turn red in the face and groan!!!
lots of hugs and lots of love!!!
I’ve had so much fun catching up on your posts from India. It looks like you and Maddie are having some wonderful adventures and making beautiful memories.
OMG,,,this made me laugh out loud, Matt. There’s body parts that I guess you’ll just have to be sure and protect!LOL
I, too, laughed out loud when I read the third thing Maddy tends to do instead of letting you sleep. Really enjoying the extended photo captions. Hope the writing is going well.
Also, loved her little ponytail.
LOVE the pony tail. So sweet.
cute pic=)
a pony tail ~ cute
Maybe you should were a cup! bwhaaaaaa!!!
=}
You are really getting good at doing Maddie’s hair! Love the ponytail.
Also, I hope you and Maddie have a wonderful adventure! Enjoy every minute of it and can’t wait to read your book!
Blessings to you both!
Speaking of boo…will sweet Maddy be wearing a Halloween costume in Bangalore?
There is so infinite reasons that we all come back to your blog again and again, but a shared one is this: we all love how much YOU love that little girl. Even when she is punching you in the balls. lmao.
Wow, talk about typos. There ARE infinite reasons…
Need more coffee.
LOL cute and funny post! thanks for sharing with all of us!
somebody needs some sleep … and it ain’t madeline.
Ha ha Matt! Wear a cup! She sure is a cutie and I am sooo loving your updates and the pics! Hugs!
Heh. I punched my dad in the nuts once when I was about five. Notice I said ONCE!
I love your posts when you don’t swear! It makes you seem more like a truly loving daddy. The F word just kills that.
well, she is your daughter, so you have no choice but to love her no matter what she does to you.
Tonya – seriously? You are kidding, we can only hope.
Matt – this is my new favorite. Working on the kind of thing you’re working on (the book) isn’t just physically draining either. It’s amazing how they always manage to make us move. Miss you both.
I’m going to have to disagree with Tonya above me. I quite like your use of the “F word”. There is just no other word like it, and at times, it’s the ONLY word that fits! I’ve found myself using it much more liberally since I began reading your blog:)
Oh…and using it in no way diminishes your love for Maddy. How ridiculous! I LOVE this picture, and I truly love all of your new, extended photo captions. I think what I love most about them is that most of them seem to be written to Maddy; and it’s just beautiful.
i wish i had someone like her to pull me up.
