It's been a busy week, so it's been hard to keep up with blogging. Hope to post more pictures and videos this weekend. But there's one quick story from this week that we have to share.
We went to brunch the other day at a hotel down the street from our place where they have pretty good food and, more importantly, the servers are VERY kid friendly.
While we were eating, an elderly gentleman (even older than Madeleine's grandparents!) walked up and took a peak at the little one, who was in her stroller. He thought she was adorable and raved about how pretty she was before wandering off. Said she reminded him of Ingrid Bergman, who he met on a tour (I assume a USO tour) during "The War."
A few minutes later, he came back and put a $20 bill into the stroller with Madeleine. He said it was because she was so lovely and that he wanted her to have it for her college fund. We tried to give the money back to him but he insisted on her keeping it.
So, she's finally started to earn her fair share. Maybe next week we'll go down to the Ritz and the Four Seasons and see how she does there.

This story is priceless! How sweet of him to do this. I just showed Paul the latest photos of Madeleine. He said she looks just like Brian...we attested to that. Can hardly wait to do a video chat when we get home.
Love, Grandma Kay
That's so adorable... I have only one question for the gentleman of our Greatest Generation:
If she's so adorable, why does she need to go to college?
Haa - I crack myself up. KIDDING OF COURSE!!! That's a wonderful story. And recording it here is a great reason to have a blog, so you'll never forget. There may be some uncomfortable Tween years ahead where you'll need to remind her how beautiful she is.
This sounds like a good plan... just be careful about those fancy hotels. Elliot Spitzer (sp) likes a few of them!
Hee hee ... VERY true. Still, it's pretty much a recession-proof profession.
