This is good, but will be even better....later.

I love it when my kids say something that I can use....to mortify them when they are older.


Yesterday Kate asked her dad if he would help her practice kissing. Nice! She will love to hear that when she is 15.




A couple of days ago, Kate, while wearing a princess dress and a veil, made her dad get in a white shirt and marry her. Parly was the officiator. It was a beautiful ceremony.

Going along with the marriage theme here's another: At night Kate also likes to tell me or her dad a secret. She whispers in my ear, "Tell daddy to marry you." But then today at lunch Kate told me not to marry daddy because he has a bald head. (Shayne recently shaved his head...short.)

Any guesses?

So Maggie has learned to crawl. The first couple of days she stayed close, mostly in the kitchen living area. I thought, This is great! She just went from one toy to the next, keeping herself busy. But it wasn't to last....soon she found there where more exciting places to go. And has found her way around pretty much all of the main floor....including the stairs.

Well tonight she found herself a tasty snack, thanks to her new found mobilization and a lazy mom. Any guesses? Anyone can play...except Shayne and Nana in Logan. Good Luck and I'll let you know soon.

Maggie is talking!

So Maggie has said her first word. Not just sounds, either. I know she looks like she is 6 months here, but she is really 10 months. She can sit herself up and even crawl a bit. The funniest is that she always seems to end up hugging the couch or chair leg...and then she's stuck. She continues to be a very happy baby. Lucky for her she can entertain herself while I blog, read blogs, cook a few meals here and there, and keep track of the Others...playing with friends, tennis, swimming, Safety Town, and dance.

Question: What is on Maggie's face? Oreo cookies of course.
Here is Maggie hugging the chair. I'm glad somebody (something?)loves her.
