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.

Thom ~ Thom and Getting Ready for G & G

Although we were unable to see Thomas Wednesday for our scheduled play date, we were able to see him for a short bit on Monday. It was a delight, as always. It is becoming more and more challenging to get pictures of these two hooligans because inevitably one of them wants to bust a move.

More later, my parents are coming to visit and we need to be ready to show them how fun it can be to push the Radio Flyer up and down the hall over and over again.

Thomas & Maggie Party it Up

We got a chance to go visit Thomas the other day and it was the first time that Thomas didn’t burst in to tears or that Maggie didn’t maul Thom in the first few seconds. Instead they were like two little peas in a pod, happy as clams, pigs in a blanket….you get the idea.

Marc and Mags get along so well, it’s kind of hilarious. I love that my child’s hair is in constant puff-mode. I realize that I randomly write about hair often, but check out Maggie’s puffy crop of hair.

Deneva is up from SD and we finally got to see her. We were hoping to last week, but with the blizzard that hit the PNW, it just wasn’t in the cards. One thing I love about Deneva is that she adores Maggie and Thomas and has no problem getting down and playing with them, as demonstrated by the fact she’s riding Thomas’ John Deere tractor.

It was so nice to get out of the house for the day, the snowiness was making us feel a bit trapped. Thanks, Larry!

 

P.S. The last photo is priceless. Thomas has a very sly look on his face and Maggie’s Poof Hair is acting up. Again.
