Brace Yourself

Lets face it, we're not professional writers. In fact, I will do my best to keep the spelling errors to a minimum. The following are random thoughts as we reflect on life and our beautiful family. Hope family and friends enjoy!

And You Call her WHAT?

It's amazing what little different names come about when you have a little one around...here are a few of our favorites....obvious is the first one...

Madeline Therese
Maddie
Thumper (in utero)
Lumpy
Grumpy Lumpy
Lumpy von Lumpenstein
Torpedo Woman
Grumpy (the grumpy, lumpy and grumpy lumpy were in the earlier days:) She is hardly any of those anymore.
Mad-ster
Lovely Lady
Smiley
Pumpkin
Bumpkin
Happy Pants

And Madeline's mannerisms...they are hilarious how they can be directly related to one of us or our family.

These mannerisms of Maddie follow Melissa
- definitely a morning person
- sleeps with her arms above her head
- "Oma Lehner's face" (no teeth)
- has Melissa's nose (thank God)

These mannerisms of Maddie follow Jon
- requires "time" (lots of it) to wake up - do NOT disturb
- has pursed lips
- long eyelashes

Oh...and this really doesn't have to do with anything...but Mom wore a ponytail and her eyeglasses to bed for the first eight weeks after she was born....seriously...Jon would wake up and she would be wearing them.....

Jon thinks Maddie will grow up to be a huge college football fan....she is already demonstrating the Heisman pose.
