This site is for family, friends and interested private parties. Paparazzi, gossip columnists (yes, that very persistent reporter from the National Enquirer I mean you!), and Uncle Charlie are not only not allowed, but a poison dart will shoot from your monitor if you do not close your internet browser in five seconds . . . 4 . . . 3 . . . 2 . .

Anyway, I am going to try and keep this updated with news, photos, and my twisted humor. If you want any of the photos sent to you in a higher resolution format for printing, e-mail Alisha and she'll probably promise them to you tomorrow and you will get them sometime before Madelyn graduates high school.

Here are the stats . . .

Madelyn Rose Beck

She also scored a 9 out of 10 on her initial exam. The nurses told us to be optimistic if she only scored a 5 or 6, and that a 9 hadn't been recorded on this side of the Wabash since 1934. Shortly afterwards we had to scare away some research scientists who wanted to take her to Washington to run more rigorous tests. The important thing is that she is healthy and has only mild personality quirks (genetically linked to the father).
