Rock Star

Rachel got this shirt for Maggie in Paris. For some reason she looks like a rock star to me, with her cute tank top and her messy hair. I think she is learning how to pose for the camera. Merci beaucoup, tante Rachel!

John's Birthday

Here are some pictures from John's birthday. As you can see, Maggie is learning how to hand out presents. Grandma June has an interesting collection of cards she is using (as Leonard will soon find out). She has written "lemon ade" on this one

Chicago

Here are the pictures from my trip to Chicago for CHA with Jamie. These are pretty much all the pictures we took because we were so busy. I hear we already have applicants for the photographer position at CHA Winter. First is a picture of all the free stuff I got after our first two days of show. Sunday we got about an inch worth of patterned paper, a few packages of Bazzill goodies, two clear stamp sets and a "cake box" of stuff from Making Memories as well. The last few are of Jamie and I on the speedboat, Lake Michigan and Navy Pier.

Mini Golf

John had today as a holiday so we went to Boondocks and then to visit Grandma June. Mostly Maggie carried the balls around and wanted to watch the bumper boats. As you can see, we also went to Wal-Mart this morning.

She did actually hit her ball once or twice.
Just like Dad.

Ouch!

Maggie fell down the cement steps on the back porch yesterday. The swelling has gone down and the bruise doesn't look so bad anymore, just a nice scrape.

Hygienist in Training

Here is Maggie getting ready yesterday morning. Gotta floss between those two teeth.

Yellow Thumb

At last my garden is actually growing. Most of it anyway - none of my herbs came up, even the second time I tried. It seems friends around the country are already eating from their gardens, and I think my plants are still the smallest around. Oh well. Eventually.Row of beans with the squash in the background.

Two happy zucchini.
