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!

 

Science Center

Maddux and Michele at the Science Center in Baltimore. We are encouraging Maddux to use his left hand so he can be a professional pitcher and then not have to worry about science! I like the picture with the milk truck because maddux loves milk. In fact, he likes it so much sometimes he wakes up mommy and daddy at 3 in the morning to ask for some! 

Maddux at Busch Stadium

Maddux and grandma went to Busch stadium on bring your kids to the park day and sit in the dugout! Maddux got some autographs, chewed some sunflower seeds, and then threw his hat on the field just like Tony Larussa.

The players above are John Rodriguez, he plays OF, is hitting 300, but is mainly used as a pinch hitter.

Tyler Johnson is a relief pitcher with the cards. His ERA is about 4 and he couldnt be any worse then that bum Isringhausen...

That is michele talking on her cellphone while riding in the back of Larussa's golf cart.

Keep practicing Maddux and maybe one day you can not go to college like Tyler and John and make 10x as much money as daddy who has been in school since he was 5. That is fair!!!!!!

The New Arrival... Ultrasound of Baby Boy Dasenbrook #2

Well Maddux, this is the beginning of the end my man... You have been the only grandkid for almost 2 years now... WHAT A RUN!

Your days of constant attention from grandparents, aunts, uncles, and drunken strangers is almost over... what with amy about to have their kid and Mom is gonna deliver that little guy up there in November, you are in serious trouble.

Study this picture, it is you competition, i mean little brother... You are very sweet right now and give kisses to mommies belly every night and say "baby". Both mommy and daddy were the oldest children in our families and look how we turned out, I mean we still have all our teeth and other than your mother's dolphin tatoo we dont have any permanent artwork!

Maddux, mommy and daddy didnt care what we were having as long as it was a healthy baby boy...

OH YEAH, DID I MENTION ITS A BOY!!! 

Maddux in the St Louis Dispatch

Here is the copy of Maddux and Pete in the St Louis Dispatch at run the bases day at cardinals stadium. The journalist took a little artistic licensce and said we named Maddux after Greg Maddux... That is ridiculous... we named him after Angelina Jolie's son maddox... Just kidding, we are not so shallow we would name our children after famous people or movie stars. Our next sons name will be brad pitt dasenbrook. 

Maddux Swimming

Maddux Swims!

Maddux lays out by the pool and orders drinks!

Maddux gets tan like daddy!

Oh wait, check him out on the lounge chair... he does look like daddy... repeat after me maddux... Burn, Peel, then NO TAN... that is how daddy did it until he was afraid he would get melanoma, so now the SUN is our friend; Yet, also OUR ENEMY... SPF 1000 ALL AROUND...

Dasenbrook's in Baltimore

Norm, Sandy, and Keith came to baltimore for a Four day weekend of fun! We visited Libby and TK asthey had us over to dinner for a BBQ!

We went to the inner harbor and rode on the water taxis and checked out a lot of the local beers.
Then, we went to DC b/c the Nationals were playing the CUBBIES... as usual the cubbies lost but the RFK stadium was nice;

Maddux enjoyed hanging out with everyone and cant wait for a return visit!
