This onesie is passed down from Madeline to Jonny...one little Buckeye to another. That's for you Jeremy!


Jonny's sitting on his own pretty good now, although there is the occasional fall backwards or sideways and a big bang to the head. It's so sad how fast he's growing up, it's just one milestone after another, make it stop!!

Reds Game

Friday night we went to the Reds game and had the BEST baseball experience. We were in a box (Thanks Mohab and Susan!) and I don't think I can go back to attending a game any other way! The kids had a great time along with us "big kids"!












Last out of the game...struck out looking...REDS WIN!

Halo/Walking on Sunshine!

Madeline has been performing concerts for us each night because she loves Glee. Here are a few performances we've been enjoying! More to come I promise...

Lady Gaga!

Fourth of July weekend

What a wonderful perfect couple days. If only every weekend was three days. We did the annual Indian Hill parade with the family. Madeline scooped up more candy that she collected on Halloween, no joke. Followed the parade with swimming at Camp Lippert, grill out and lots of fun in the hot, hot sun.

We also packed in a trip to Kings Island (loving the season passes) and headed up to Ault Park for the first time for fireworks. We had an elaborate plan to deal with the crowds and parking, but ended up not needing to bother because Jon ended up staying home with Jonny. Poor kid has decided he doesn't want to sleep during the day so early evenings he gets a little upset from sleep deprivation :( So Madeline and I had a great time just her and Mommy. She was so excited and we got a great seat on the lawn.

This was taken early on and it got a LOT more crowded.

I wanted to take more pictures, but decided to just screw it and be in the moment with my girl. It was wonderful. So happy I got to experience that with her. The look on her face when the fireworks started going off I'll never forget!
