Big Changes for 2012


2012 started off with a bang as we welcomed Madeline Jeanette (MJ) on January 5th. In addition to this, Grandma Smiley came to visit and we moved the day before MJ arrived! Clearly we won't be able to keep this pace up for all of 2012, but it has started out great and we wanted to share some pictures with everyone.

Linds and Mike - you've done it again. She's gorgeous! We will have to catch up at some point. I miss you both.
