Be Kind, Rewind

Time really does fly when you’re having fun. We’ve had a chance to meet up with tons of  Maggie’s buds lately and have hardly documented it. This post is all over the place with an attempt to play catch-up. Two points to  you if you can make it to the end!!

ELIANNA

Waayyyy back when Maggie was not even 11 months old yet we got a chance to go meet baby Elianna, who belongs to Adam and Alyssa. She was the sweetest little cherub and Maggie only tried to pinch her three times. It was St. Patrick’s Day afterall.

Both Barry and I remarked who quickly we had forgotten what it was like to have a true BABY and that it seems SO long ago that we were living in a two-hour window of wakings and feedings. It was really sweet to see Adam and Alyssa and their precious bundle. We look forward to many, many more playdates with them! Yahooey!

THOMAS, CAROLINE & MAGS TOGETHER AGAIN

Thomas and Caroline are coming over today and I haven’t even been able to share a photo from the last time we all got together. Caroline is growing like a little weed (a very beautiful weed, but weeds grow fast around here) and Thomas seemed all grown up in his plaid sweater. It was the first time that we’ve had to really block the stairs from Thomas and Mags, but of course Thomas wedged himself through the opening and Maggie followed quickly behind. All bets off once Caroline starts crawling.

DAXTEN &  CARTER!!!

A couple days ago we also got to go visit Suzanna, her parents and adorable boys, Daxten and Carter. We got to meet Daxten on the day that he was born, but haven’t had a chance to see him again since that day. Ironically, that was the last day I got my hair cut and the second time I got to see him I again cut my hair. Guess I’ll need to schedule to see him when I’m going to sculpt my do. Maggie decided that she wanted to test out Daxten’s pacifier even though she has NEVER taken one from us. Stinker.

SUNSHINE & RAIN

The weather here has been playing tricks on us with tons of rain,  but last week a sparkle of sun. We busted outside quickly to soak up the rays, only to notice the huge cloud cover moving on in. Today is gloomy again, but we just know that sunny days are right around the corner ~ I can hardly wait. Thom and Caro are nearly at our door step, so I’ll have to do another re-cap some other day. I’ll leave you with a soggy flower shot.


Smoochable Bites

Mags and I zipped up to Anacortes this morning because tomorrow I’m getting my haircut and I need go get my beauty rest tonight. Just kidding on the beauty rest thing. We did some MAJOR visiting today, but that’ll have to be touched on later when pictures can be actually posted and admired.

Instead we’re at Camp Janet and Maggie is jamming on the piano with my mom, Flipper is getting dinner ready and Skrange is reading the paper and talking about Snookie wit my dad. Who knew that Flip had any idea who Snookie is, I hardly know who she is.

Anyhow, if you want to take a nibble of the picture I posted with this little blob, I totally understand. I promptly took some bites of Mags after I snapped her being a cutie pa-toot-toot-ie.

More tomorrow.

Yippeee for haircuts in A-Town!!!

Monday Morning Blues

I don’t know why I feel like Mondays are always recovery days around here – days to get back into the swing of things, take stock of the food in our fridge, head to the grocery store,sweep up the weekend dirt that followed us inside, tackle the laundry and start daydreaming about next weekend.

How do you greet Monday? With open arms and an extra bounce in your step?

Monday, Shmunday.

Blah, blah.  Pictures always, always make me happy. So, take a gander at these beauts from a couple weekends ago.

It always helps that my two favorite people are in the pictures, especially on a Monday.
