I know you all could care less what I write about when there are pictures of a newborn baby to be seen so I will just get to the pics!
I do have to say that I was very surprised by Madeline's middle name.
You see, I have always called Becky "Fern". It is my pet name for her.
The origin of the name is a funny story that goes back about 10 years when I used to go hiking with a great friend of mine. We would see all the lush ferns on the trails and she would turn to me and say, "You're a fern for life!" (meaning a "friend" for life) and so when I met Becky I realized she was my fern for life and I told her the story and started calling her Fern.
When Becky told me she was pregnant I immediately started calling the sweet baby growing inside her, "Fernlet". She and Bill kept it a secret the whole time and so when they announced her name on the day she was born I was absolutely honored and floored.
Sweet baby Madeline Fern...you're Aunt Sunday is going to spoil you rotten!
