hello everybody! i swore that i would never have a blog, but it only makes sense to start one when everyone i see hasn't heard from me in months, or even years. and with all of my friends and family slowly growing up and moving away and on with their lives, this seems like the logical way to keep my loved ones informed of maddi and mine's (and sometimes barts) doings. maddi is 19 months old now. here are some tid bits about her: she loves to eat, any and everything. she is a red head pee the bed!!! a lot of people ask me where she got the red hair...and no it wasn't from the mail man like i always joke around and say. my little sister, and trevor's grandma louise and some cousins (like willy and alexis and valerie) have red hair. maddi knows about 20-30 words and can repeat almost any word she hears...we have to be very careful about the things we say. my little sister made the mistake of teaching her the word booby...and now it's one of her favorites :( maddi WILL NOT say bart, unless she is mad. when we say "say bart" she says turkey. it is HILARIOUS. bart is a turkey, so i guess it fits. and for those of you who haven't heard from me for a long long time, i work at a dentist office a few days a week as a dental assistant. i start school again in january to get a few more classes under my belt for my eventual goal of getting pre-med stuff done. i have an a.s. from ceu, but i still need a few classes here and there. maddi and i are doing excellent as far as life goes in general...and bart and i are doing excellent as well. he is the nicest guy i think i've ever met. i like him a little bit :) and for those of you who are confused as to who bart is, he is my boyfriend...and he is incredibly good looking. if you are reading this and you know me please send me the link to your blog(s)! stay classy readers, kelly and maddi "kapowski"

p.s. the pictures at the top of the page: maddi now, maddi then, and bart!
