Oooops!

I didn't realize it had been 2 months since I posted- Sorry!

In the last 2 months lots has happened! Ben found a new job and has been on the job for 6 weeks. It is so nice to have him working again! (if you want details- feel free to email me!)

Maggie left 2 weeks ago on a car trip to NJ to see moms family. Owen and I flew out on 7-3 and met them. We then flew home on the 8th and they got back on Wednesday night. The kids were amazing- Owen was a great flier! he fell asleep before take off on all 4 flights and woke up about 20 minutes before we landed on all 4. I had people asking me what I gave him:) maggie was a great traveler too- never asking "are we there yet"- give her a year or 2 for that.

She spent the 10 days in the pool or on the beach. Seriously- that's about all she did! She was in and out my aunts pool more than you can imagine- she can doggie paddle with the best of them now. My little fish:)

Here is a picture of Maggie with my friend Katie and her husband Greg- she how she adores Katie! I'm glad they finally got to meet. Now to meet greg and for her meet Owen!

Maggies new favorite sport- shell finding!

The Pool...

Maggie had to wear the flower in the her hair- I think she looks adorable!

I promise it won;t be another 2 months! I'll try to post at least weekly from now on!

Dreams

Conversation from the commute this morning:

M: last night I had a dream that bullhead (?) from Meet the Robinsons tried to take me and papa, but the boy from the future and his family saved us. We had crazy hair dos and I was wearing a funny dress. Isn't that silly?

Seriously, I wish I remebered my dreams in as much detail as she does!

She had her last tumbling class on Saturday so we all went to the "performance." She did well on the actual "moves"- but during the middle she sat and tickled the girl next to her and distracted all of them, so the teacher had to move her to her own corner... oooops:) I'll try to post a pic sometime. I will post one of her new haircut too- the bangs are a bit short, but they'll get there.

Yesterday at Sunday school she drew a picture of a person- and I could tell right away- I almost cried I was so surprised:) I said "maggie thats a person!" (ok it was circle with eyes, nose and mouth with 2 really long legs and maybe 1 arm:) her answer was " and those are your words" So she drew me talking- big surprise:)

Owen is pulling up on everything! He is so proud of himself- he'll pull up- then turn and grin at you- silly boy:) he is also sleeping better- yeah!!!

We went to Portrait Innovations yesterday- the kids did great!

hmmm. I'll try to find one that isn't sideways since I can't figure out how to change it:)

Busy weekend

We had a busy- but fun weekend. Mom and dad were here with Sarah- but her plane left at 5 on Saturday. Sarah and I checked out the new Sephora store at Jordan Creek Friday night- I could easily become addicted!

Jane Nicholas and her family came to town on Saturday for Adam Whitney's wedding (talk about a clash of my worlds!) so we got to have lunch with them. Maggie and Janes daughter Isabelle had a great time together!
Maggie had another tumbling class- the teacher told her she was doing much better and she was so happy!

Saturday night was Maggies first concert. She did great sitting (mostly quietly!) through Ben masterworks chorale concert. It was less than an hour long and she had a great time. Once the music started she turned to me and said "it's music to my ears:)"

Yesterday was Sunday School and shopping! As Maggie has been known to say "it's always something!"

Owen had a nice weekend too:) I can't leave him out!

I'll try to post some pics this week.

Have a great week!

PS- for those of you who went to Middle School with me- do you remeber who our 7th grade math teacher was?
