Maddie Brown: Seeking a One-Woman Man

[Kellyee]

Quote

Maybe Maddie and hubby aren't counting on only the elevator job for the move out West.  Maybe Maddies s squirling her money away for the big move!

Are they planning to move?

I think elevator repair is a great career choice. Yeah I’m sure there will be some travel involved, but even 2-3 story buildings can have more than one elevator, and the all need inspected and repaired. Think of all the schools, government buildings, malls, parking garages, hospitals, small offices in addition to high rises. He could earn a good living, especially if he’s Union. You don’t have to live in Manhattan to work on elevators.

Raleigh, the capital, is only about an hour and half from Greenville, NC.   Many elevators need help here! Lol.  Skyscrapers going up seemingly everyday. 😕

Waves at @SunnyBeBe I can attest to this as I live in the area as well and used to live in Greenville for a while.  His territory probably includes the entire Triangle in addition to whatever is local to him.  And he needs to keep the union job because Evie is going to need more medical care as she grows. 

As long as Maddie is OK with him traveling frequently, they could live in a more rural area.  I have a cousin who admittedly has a job he can do mostly remote who lives in Montana and loves it.  He travels occasionally for work, but Caleb would need to do a lot more because you can't repair elevators remotely.

Maddie's baby girl 😊

[ginger90]

She was born yesterday, 8lbs, 9oz. Maddie referred to her as Little Miss Joey.

What a pretty name! Josephine March from Little Women is my favorite literary character. 

[Rabbit Hutch]

Gorgeous complexion.  Looks like peaches and cream   🙂

[Cetacean]

Cute kid and a normal name for a change.  I wonder if it's a family name

I know, right? She looks like a one month old with that beautiful little pudgy peaches and cream face.

Maddie has big babies. They have all been at least 8 lbs 8 ounces. I think the heavier weight also helps with the alien baby look so many newborns have.

 

 

[Celia Rubenstein]

That's a nice looking baby.  Is it just the light or is her little gown (not so much pink as it is) salmon colored?  Either way, I like it ...  I don't think I've seen that color used for baby clothes a lot.  It's making me think about one day, way down the road, far far in the future (when my offspring decides to breed) maybe using that color for a "grandchild's room" in my home.  It seems rather unisex to me.  

Congrats to Maddie and Caleb! 

 

[SunnyBeBe]

I like that color as well.  I think it’s in the shade I bought some things for my nieces before. 

[xwordfanatik]

Kind of a peachy pink?  I like it, too.

The buttons?  Not so much.

Cute baby!

Josephine is a beautiful baby. All three of Maddie's kids are cutie pies. I wonder if she was named for Joseph Smith, though. (Although Caleb is not a Latter-day Saint, so that would seem weird.)

And yes, those buttons do need to go, although it looks like they've been well sewn on, or even been reinforced with extra thread, I would not trust it.

And the name is spelled normally.  That's a nice change.

Poor Evangalyn, or however it's spelled!  I wish they had just named her Evelyn, that's so much easier.  They could have made her middle name a tribute to Janelle, instead.  Never mind "Kodi."

Looking back on when my kids were small, I can't figure out how Maddie has time to not only take everyone's pictures, but caption them and post them to social media.  Maybe that generation just manages time differently.  Maybe I'm in get-off-my-lawn mode.  But I don't get how sharing that you have three kids that wake up early is newsworthy.  It's what kids do.

[GeeGolly]

Maddie posts with a combo of poor me and wow me.

I might have empathy for her if she just straight up said something like, today is one of those little sleep mom days, I hope *coffee can help me through it. 

 

*with absolutely no mention of Plexus

 

[Irate Panda]

I’m surprised Maddie hasn’t given the baby a Plexus bottle yet.

[ginger90]

[GeeGolly]

Then put the baby down and get your ass moving Maddie. Zillions of folks start their days at 5am.

[Absolom]

She CHOSE to have another baby all the while knowing that things like waking early will happen.  Please do not whine publicly about the absolutely expected happening.  She isn't nearly as cute and interesting as she thinks she is.

And yes I'm grumpy today.

Mine started at 4:30 am for years, and I had a 2-year old.

Maddie:  you are posting about the mundane and boring life you seem to lead.  Nobody wants to hear the obvious twaddle about what a drag it is to get up and dill with your kids.

Agreed. However, I remember a scene from when Evie was an infant and they brought her to Flagstaff. Iirc, Maddie said she was done having kids but Caleb wanted at least 2 more. I'm sure she's happy but this may also not have been entirely her choice, particularly given their fundamentalist Christianity.

[Irate Panda]

She might be able to at least get some rest if she didn’t stop to take so many pictures.

Do we know what denomination they are now?

She did a Q&A that I’m thinking was more than a year ago. When asked this question, she said they are Christian and attend a small Bible-based church.

Madison and Savanah are a copy/paste of Janelle, who is a copy/paste of her dad (who died when she was three). 

[Teafortwo]

Wow, Hunter looks so much like his grandfather!

Janelle's sister looks just like Janelle.

[CalicoKitty]

I did not realize that they made dolls with prosthetic limbs.  What a good idea.  They even have Barbie and Ken dolls, and even a Barbie in a wheel chair.  In just a quick search I only saw prosthetic legs, no arms.  But maybe there are and I just didn't see them.  I only checked quickly on Amazon.

It really is. I don't see Logan so much, but I do see Hunter. Looking back at the picture of Sheryl, I think Logan might favor her.

I remember going back to the early seasons when the Browns went to wYoming and a cousin ran up to greet Logan.  They looked a LOT alike. Brother alike.  I think Logan favors Kody's side.

If mom drinks plexus and breast feeds, baby is getting plexus. 
 

I don’t know if Maddie breast feeds or is taking plexus.

I always thought Logan favors Kody's brother, Michael.

Enough with the Woe Is Me routine.  Adapt your life and go to bed when the kids do.

[Cetacean]

You chose to have three kids. You are in no way unique. 

Some of us keep the same hours because of elderly parents who need care around the clock. We didn't have a chance to choose it, that's life.  So just STFU.

[Teafortwo]

Maybe she needs... a nanny?

[Sandy W]

Funny we don't hear Mykelti complaining about how tired she is while managing. 3 under 3 plus 2 MLMs.

Mind you she does say she has help from Tony, who is probably glued to his keyboard all day.

[Jeanne222]

What does Tony do?  He used to be a banker.  I don't think you can greet customers with that do!  

So many mysterious on this show!
