The first read for Madeline

Madeline seemed in awe as we read her her first book on her birthday night. She was a day old last night, so, well, we partied. I had a chocolate milkshake and a sub from Lost Dog. Kelly had pizza and some mashed taters. First full solid meal in more than 48 hours. What a trooper. Anyway, back to the book. My lovely brother-in-law, sister, and nieces rolled in from Lynchburg yesterday and dropped off joy and some booty. In a book inscribed with beautiful expressions of love, I read Mads a book about love. It was cheesy, but great.
