Yesterday was so cool to me.  I’m sitting here in my studio where I have this big window that looks out into the halls here at Q104.  Being that I face the window as I work, I usually notice everyone that walks by.  Yesterday morning about 6:45 I happen to see a shadow and look up and I’m like “Is that Chubby Checker”??  I had no idea he was in town or anything but I do know what he looks like.  Turns out it was him.  How cool to have a random moment like that.  He told us stories about his good friends Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, Fats Domino..Elvis….He had the biggest selling song in the 1960’s…THE ENTIRE DECADE. He couldn’t have been nicer.   

Our trip to Niagara Falls

So, hangin’ with Stephanie and Madelyn this past weekend was so awesome. We were slightly afraid that Madelyn would be bothered by her allergies, but it seems that we found the right formula and she is on the road to healing. She was just perfect. She’s smiling now, laughing, and seems like a happy baby. We spent Saturday at the falls, walking around Clifton Hill. Sunday, we went to Niagara on the Lake and did some wine tastings. I got to feed Madelyn in one of the vineyards. We also went to my favorite restaurant, The Rainforest Cafe! It was just an incredible experience and thanks for taking the time to look at our pictures!!

Hey guys!

If any of you are considering an addition to your furry families, won’t you consider these dogs? They have been at the shelter for over 6 months and really need a home. I hope you can help out!!

Harlow
A young, playful, loving pit mix, Harlow is attentive and fun-loving. She would make a wonderful companion in a safe and experienced home. Harlow loves belly rubs and has already mastered her basic commands. Responds very well to training, Harlow is a very smart dog who aims to please.

 Felice
A young, sweet, smart, energetic Mexican Xolo / Hairless mix,  Felice is very youthful in her spirit and strength and is desperate for a home that she can call her own.  Much like Harlow, she has seen dogs coming and going for months at the shelter and is getting very sad that she gets passed by.  Her unique red fur feels like velvet!  Felice is a quick learner and is doing great with her training and commands, but still might be best suited as an only dog.

Bode - the 3 Legged Wonder
An adorable 3 yr old shepherd/boxer mix, Bode is super affectionate and well trained.  Despite losing his front leg in an accident, he gets along perfectly and has no trouble hopping up on the couch or zooming around for a long walk.  Bode loves other dogs (and dog friendly cats) and is comical and friendly.  Bode is an active dog, but also loves to cuddle and snuggle.  Please contact the Mutt Hutt at rescue@themutthutt.com or 216-621-6888. 
 

So, I just wanted to take a second and tell you what a great experience I had with 2 people in my life!

 As you know, my wife and I had little Madelyn about 8 weeks ago.  She has suffered from a milk protein allergy and is very fussy a lot.  Our pediatrician Dr. Cutter from Cleveland Clinic-Strongsville has been exceptional in trying to figure out what’s wrong with her.  We can e-mail Dr. Cutter, and she write us back.  We can call her and SHE calls us back.  In fact, just yesterday Madelyn was screaming at the top of her lungs and it was after Dr. Cutter’s shift.  I was able to get in touch with her and she called us personally from home to tell us what to do.  If you are looking for someone who comes highly recommended and who pays attention towards your childs best interest..Please give Dr. Cutter a try! 

 Dr. Cutter is married to a wonderful dude named Tim Ali.  If you live in the Strongsville, Middleburg Hts area, you have no doubtedly seen his real estate signs everywhere.  His signs are everywhere because he sells houses.  As winter was approaching and in one of the worst real estate markets ever, he sold our house in 6 weeks.  I can’t promise it’ll work as quick with you, but if you look around there is one guy making things happen and that’s Tim.  So many homes I see with other signs on them and after months of nothing, they switch over to Tim.  Run a search and get this guy to help you out. 

This is not an endorsement and I’m not getting paid to say any of this.  These 2 have just struck me as being 2 genuinely nice people my wife and I have had the pleasure of meeting.  I hope if you need any of their services, you check them out

 Thanks  for taking the time to read!

A preview of Madelyn’s first photo shoot

Hi there!

Tuesday was a big day in the Anderson household as we took little Madelyn for her first professional pictures. We selected Studio 60 portraits for the job. Becky was our photographer and we were blown away by her patience, professionalism, and her website. She has some very unique ideas and we feel Madelyn is truly unique so they were a perfect fit.

Madelyn was really good for the shoot, although after almost every picture we had to give her a binkie so she didn’t cry

Here is a preview of our day. I got these in my e-mail on Wednesday and I cried the first time I saw them. Thanks for checking out our little lady

And check out www.studio60portraits.com if you’re looking for someone unique and fun to work with

Madelyn’s Firsts

Hi there!

Well, Madelyn has been here about a month, and we couldn’t be happier. It is such a life change, it’s hard to describe. Steph and I are up every 3 hours, although Steph does the breastfeeding..LOL We see her changing every day and it’s just amazing. I couldn’t imagine such a little thing bringing so much joy to our lives. We have been snapping pictures like crazy. I have never been picture guy, but it’s so important to capture all the life moments. Here are a few of our little Madelyn’s firsts

Madelyn’s first time to see Doctor Cutter at The Cleveland Clinic Strongsville


Madelyn’s first time with our Pastor

Madelyn’s first picture with her parents in our living room

Last but not least, Madelyn’s first time to Q104
