10.15.10 - Wildcat foofiness

Maddie models a K-State tutu made by our neighbor, Tori, who runs a home-based business called Cutie Pie Boutique, which specializes in infant and toddler fashion accessories. She wore a similar tutu for her first birthday but is otherwise not exposed to anything foofy or princess.

On the contrary to this headline, K-State was anything BUT foofy in pounding KU 59-7 yesterday. Go State!

01.30.10 - Look, Dad, it's Dick Vitale!

Awesome, baby!

Unfortunately, the outcome was not so awesome.

08.13.09 - Eat 'em up, eat 'em up K-S-U!

Maddie made another visit to the med school this afternoon where she found this tiny Jayhawk coaster to be quite tasty. Jayhawk, Mmm ... tastes like chicken! But, in all fairness to our place of employment, we've told Maddie that she can attend KU. But, she has to be a doctor.

07.12.09 - Cayden

Brian and Emily's son Cayden shares one of his toys with Maddie this morning before we hit the road back home. If there's one thing we miss about living in Manhattan (or Topeka, for that matter) it's the Swearingens. Brian is Maddie's godfather and we don't see them nearly often enough. Thanks for hosting us, guys, on Maddie's first trip to Manhattan!

07.11.09 - Anderson Hall

We're in Manhattan this weekend visiting our good friends Brian and Emily and their son Cayden. We ate at a couple of our favorite Aggieville establishments and made a quick trip through campus, where Maddie posed with her new pal Willie Duck, whom we found reasonably overpriced at Varney's but adopted anyway, in front of Anderson Hall, K-State's iconic administration building. In all my time at K-State, I don't think I ever made a feature of anything happening - disc golf, students studying or relaxing, on Anderson lawn. Not too bad that my first Anderson lawn feature is of my very own Maddie girl, who is and will be a Wildcat!

Fight, you K-State Wildcats,
For alma mater fight, fight, fight!
Glory in the combat
For the purple and the white.
Faithful to our colors
We will ever be
Fighting, ever fighting
For a Wildcat victory. Go State!
