and we’re settling into

our routine.

just how much

liz

hated jazz.

i can remember countless evenings…

out to dinner

with the grandparents

at our favorite

restaurant/bar here

in akumal,

madeline acted like

a college-aged dude.

(i’m not sure what to think of this).

a few months ago

i got a call

from my bud, chrissy

who writes the storked! blog

over at glamour,

asking if we

wanted to join her

and her son, jack

on a free disney cruise.

while, i’m not

really a cruise

kind of guy, but

i agreed to go,

because i figured maddy

would love it,

and yeah.

it was free.

besides, i thought it

was pretty cool that

this was the

first cruise for

both of us.

oh.

and did i mention

it was free?

(i think i’ve now satisfied the fcc ).

(more…)

another new year.

2009 was way better

than 2008.

but we’re both

hoping that 2010

is even better.

in 2010, i hope

to see maddy

doing a lot

more of this:

(thanks to dj lance rock and yo gabba gabba she’s constantly dancing. she’s working on the “crazy daisy”in these photos).

on behalf of the board of the llf…

Thanks to you, our wonderful supporters, 2009 was a year of tremendous growth for the Liz Logelin Foundation. In December, thanks in large part to your continued generosity, we were able to make small grants to 34 widows and widowers to help ease the financial burden of the holidays. We are looking forward to helping even more families in 2010! As you know, we recently started using Donate Now for our online donations. It is a wonderful and simple way to schedule a one-time or reoccurring donation. We hope that as you look at your charitable giving for 2010 you will consider the LLF. Just to sweeten the deal, if you make a donation between December 29th and January 31st you will receive a special limited-edition 2010 postcard from Maddy! Don’t forget: donations made by December 31st are tax deductible in 2009.

Best wishes for a happy and healthy 2010!

winter in minnesota.

much snow fall

in such a short

period of time,

happy holidays from madeline.

matt — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 19:06:20 +0000

i didn’t get my

shit together to send

out a holiday card

(that was liz’s thing),

so as we

get ready to jump

on a plane to the mn,

(round-trip flight #29 for madeline)

here’s our

virtual card:

madeline says:

i’m not too sure about this santa claus guy…

or these snow people…

but i’m pretty excited to get back and see the grandmas, grandpas, aunites, uncles, cousins and friends in minnesota, even if it’s gonna be really cold.

happy new year.

looking forward to a great 2010.

tuesday.

i slept an hour

and a half

the night before,

and i wanted to

get a little more rest

when maddy woke me

up with her

usual morning noises.

instead of going

to get her

as i usually do,

i let her talk

away and attempt

to entertain herself.
