Happy 2nd Birthday

Dorothy the Fish (#1 of 3)!

Maddux and his presents

Luca's Hospital Bill

Look at the expression of surprise on Michele, Maddux and Chris's face! You probably think that Luca's hospital bill was underneath the lid... but actually it was maddux's favorite new toy, a combo car and train track!

Birthday Cake

What birthday cake would not be complete without Elmo's best pals: Mr Noodle and dorothy the fish (that is not her name because she has a drinking problem, she is actually a fish)?

Singing Happy Birthday! Hey pete, what are you doing with luca's neck there? I like it, training him for a future career as a professional break dancer... just like K-fed...

There it goes, maddux blowing out his candles... it was like a primatene mist commercial only with a lot more saliva! The cake was delicious and everyone enjoyed! Maddux is world famous! We had visitors from Baltimore, Ohio, and Illinois. Everyone had a great time and Sesame Street cashed in (right down the street in Philadelphia)

Maddux Opening His Presents

Potty Time Elmo! More like scary time elmo... i mean look at Elmo's face... what is up with that?

Ahh, that is sweet; Maddux is "burping" potty time elmo... Maddux, too late pal, you were supposed to do that right AFTER he ate...

see what i mean about elmo's face...

Wow, tickle me Elmo! how about daddy sells that on ebay and puts it in your "college fund"?

One Big Happy Family

Maddux at the elevator pushing buttons (and the ones on the elevator)!

Michele closing a couple business deals before the foley goes in!

Sweet paper scrubs sir daz-a-lot!

Luca Michael is here!

I think he looks just like his big brother!

Happy Halloween... Maddux as ELMO

ELMO in the sandbox

ELMO in the Moonbounce

Maddux made some new friends at the JHMA halloween party. But what he really loved was the MOONBOUNCE. The kid was a machine. He didnt care if bigger kids were bouncing around. He held his own. Maddux basically reminds me of a young Brian Urlacher only faster and with a bigger neck.

Look at the joy he is expressing in that 3rd picture! You know when else Maddux shows that much emotion? When he dominates Katie Couric because she just concocted another sentence with a dangling participle.

Maddux hates dangling participles.

 

Maddux and his newest Cousin!

Maddux giving his newest cousin, Rocco Czarnecki a kiss. Maddux did very well despite having a new baby around stealing all the attention!

 

Rocco!

Aunt Amy snapping Rocco in to his new car seat. The world's safest car seat in fact! Uncle Mike secured the car seat so tight that the secret service would let President Bush ride in it!


Rocco looks a lot like maddux when he was born! What a great addition to our family.

 

Running the bases at Camden Yards

Rounding First Base!
Heading for Home!
This was maddux's second time running the bases this year (he didnt get in the paper this time so it was a disapointment!). Living in our 12 foot wide rowhouse has been great practice for maddux running up and down and not side to side!

 

Maddux at the Circus!

Maddux went to the circus with grandma and grandpa. He was even lucky enough to be IN THE CIRCUS!! Wow, maddux, there have been a lot of Dasenbrook's in the carnival industry, but never actually in the circus.

Come to think of it, he does have small hands and smells like cabbage!
