So anyway, I'm sort of taking over for the time being. There's really nothing much new. I still work at Great Harvest, Dave still works at SkyWest, Maddie's vocabulary is still made up mostly of the words "Uh-Ooooh" and Ooo-Weeee". BUT we do have a new family picture.

Enjoy this one. You can't tell by our happy smiling faces, but the few moments preceding the split second in which the picture was snapped were a trying few. Maddie wasn't in much of a mood to sit still and have her picture snapped, which in turn put her mom and dad in a similar mood. In the end it was Dave's quick thinking, and unnaturally strong (I'm talking popeye here) arms that saved us all. He tossed Maddie up in the air a couple times just before the camera lady snapped the picture. This practice succeeded in extracting a cooperatively happy face from everyone involved.
