We took Madeline to the Philadelphia zoo. She slept through most everything...
....but really loved the ducks.
After that we put her pampered bottom into a bathing suit for a dip in the pool.
Then she spent the rest of the weekend....
....just being adorable.
Lately I've discovered that Madeline sleeps a lot better when we take her outside when she first wakes up. She loves it! Plus, the playgrounds are relatively empty at 6:30 a.m.
Madi and Daddy time.
This is Madi with her boyfriend, Isaac. They like to hang out at Central Park and eat each others toys.
In the evenings we like to take a stroll to a nearby church called St. John the Divine to see if we can catch a glimpse of the peacocks that wander around at the school there. Today we got lucky and both of them displayed their feathers.
Another one of Madeline's cousins is getting hitched! This is my oldest brother's youngest daughter and her betrothed, Joe. We love you!
Being so far away from family it is difficult to get a lot of visitors. But this week was a rare treat. First, Cris came to NYC to hang out with friends, visit NYU, and make a trek to Boston.
Then Ben and Rebekkah came to audition for some Broadway shows. (These are Madeline's cousins who are 20-some-odd years older than her.) Madi showed off her fancy new red hat.
