Meet EmilyG

Hi all,

Here are some more pictures of little miss Emily. She is doing really well. I have to say so far she is a great baby, she even lets me sleep a little :)

Hugs,
Liz

Madison's Rolling Over!

Hi Everyone!

After numerous jabs from my brother, I decided it was time to give an update on the little one.

Madison just started to roll over this weekend and we are both very excited.

She has rolled over about 6 times now and pretty soon she'll be starting to crawl....

Madison is also very excited that her Nana is coming out to see her this weekend!

I will try to keep everyone updated with recent photos, but right now we are trying to take as many pictures as possible to meet the calendar deadline with Great Auntie Anne.

Dan and I are taking a survey- who does Madison look more like?

A BEAUTIFUL NEW BABY GIRL

Congratulations to Mark and Lizzie, and Mark Jr. Emily Grace, born on the 19th at 2:11pm, weighing in at 8.5lbs and 20.5 inches long.

New Pic of Madison

This is the only pic of a Madison (James) that I could find.

What proud parents?!?!

New Pic of Sienna

This is the only recent pic of a Sienna that I could find.

What proud parents?!?!

Mark Jr's is 2!!!

Who knew?

I guess he better get his air time before the prince(ess) is born.

Best of luck to Lizzie and the Mark's for their upcoming baby.

Sienna meets Madison

Over Labor Day weekend, the Starks made the trip to Michigan so that Sienna and her cousin Madison could meet for the first time. We attempted to do a few photo shoots with the girls, but as you know that can be quite difficult. Sienna was just about a month old in these photos, and Madison just 12 weeks.

We all had a great time, and the two girls will reunite again over the Thanksgiving holiday in Phoenix!

By the way, this is my first official post to the blog- the one of Maddie in her sunglasses was my trial run last night. I'll post more images as I have them to share - I am so excited that I am no longer a technophobic and have entered the world of blogging!

Labor Day Videos

Labor Day BBQ

As always, click on any photo to enlarge it.






Grandpa chatted away with our Polish neighbor - in Polish of course. The gentleman actually grew up not too far from him.



































I will put the videos up when I get a chance. DrMark was there too but is under-photographed because he hid inside for most of the cookout.

He also struck gold with this profoundly perceptive remark.

DrMark - Dan, how the heck did you 'marry up'?

I explained to him that is was very hard given my lofty credentials but both Inez and I appreciated his flattery.

On the other hand, I reminded him that a guy like him should have NO PROBLEM 'marrying up'!

We met Tim's new girlfriend Kelly (though they showed up 2.75 hours late).

We had a buffalo chicken dip that was so good DrTom asked for the recipe. I didn't know he could cook.

We had steamed clams that were eaten primarily by Grandpa and UJ.

Also, BBQ chicken, hot dogs, and a broccoli and bacon salad.

A good time was had by all. Thanks for making the lonh haul out here. We missed those of you who couldn't make it.

Happy Labor Day

More pics (and video) to come.

Baby #4 On The Way...

Boy, Are There A Lot Of Girls!

Macie is a joy. She lets us sleep 5 to 7 hours at a time at night and smiles and coos a lot. It is amazing how fast she grows, she is almost 3 months already and has been in her 3-6 month old clothes for a couple of weeks now. Here a couple of recent pictures.
