Hi daddy!!

Madelyn insisted we make another video for daddy today - here's what we came up with :)

Up, up and AWAY!

Getting in the harness.

Last week, they asked David to take some pictures of the ship...from the sky! They told him he was going to take them from a helicopter which was no problem since he's done this before. What they didn't tell him was how he'd get up in the helicopter. As David made his way to the front of the ship with his camera, here comes the helicopter and hovers over him. Within minutes they drop a cable down from the helicopter...yep, he was going to be lifted up into the helicopter!! Crazy huh? For someone who's not a fan of heights, he handled it brilliantly...and I think kind of enjoyed it :)  Here are some pictures from that eventful day!

Here we go!

Up, up...

...and AWAY!

His awesome photographs!

Guess Who's Crawling?!?

Me 1st St. Patrick's Day!

Madelyn celebrated her first St. Patty's Day in style :)  Hope everyone had a wonderfully green day!

Hangin' with the Harrah's



Amy, Fionna, Henry and David.

David was able to spend the weekend with Craig and Amy and their adorable twins, Fionna and Henry. They made sure David enjoyed himself while there and took him sight seeing, shopping, and eating! They all had a great time and David was able to get his baby-fill in while there (Fionna and Henry were born the same day Madelyn was :) Here are some pictures he sent to share, enjoy!

David and Fionna!

The view from the Harrah's back porch, jealous!!

Picnic Time!

Madelyn and I went to an FRG (Family Readiness Group) picnic this weekend. The weather was beautiful and it was a great opportunity to meet some new faces of spouses attached to the ship. Madelyn enjoyed some sunshine and tried out a swing for the first time - she loved it! Here are some pictures from our picnic, she's such a cutie!!

Here is a slideshow I made for David, it's of Madelyn...mostly 5 months :)  I think we made David's day by sending it ;)
Enjoy!

6 months!

I can't believe it, but Madelyn is offically 6 months old today!  Seriously, where is the time going??  We celebrated by introducing a sippy cup and Gerber puffs (she mostly just gnawed on the sippy cup and scooted the puffs around on her highchair tray :)  Once the sun finally decided to show its face, we went for a walk and she sported her new hat and shades, super adorable!  Then it was time to play with her new animals from grandma and grandpa Gardner!  All-in-all, it was a fantastic 1/2 birthday.

Happy 1/2 birthday to our precious Madelyn, mommy and daddy

love you more than you could ever know!
