It's Blog-tastic!!

The beginning of this week is kind of blurry since I worked a bit more than I thought I was going to, but I'll do my best to sum up those days...

Monday was a typical day for Annie & Maggie:  quality time @ home :)

The two ladies in my life, cuddling on Monday night.

Tuesday, our friends, Jenn, John, & their daughter Caroline came for a quick visit during the day. 

Jenn, & little Caroline with Maggie.  Caroline's attention span was something like this: (pointing) "Baby!" (pointing across the room to Sunny) "Doggy!" (pointing) "Baby!"  :) 

After a long day at work (I got home around 7:30), I had dinner, visited with my lovely family, and then had to do more work from 11 that night, which I didn't finish until 2AM. Thank God for remote access to my computer at work from home; that would have been a awful drive. 

Here's another cute Mag-pie photo from Tuesday:

Show of hands: who wants to nap?

Wednesday was an exciting day at home.  Maggie went for her first ride in the Baby Bjorn, and Annie tried her out on the play mat for some tummy time. 

She didn't quite know what to think about the Bjorn,

but I think in time she will really enjoy the ride. 

Maggie's tummy time activity basically consisted

of what you see in the photo.  :)

Our friend Katy was nice enough to come by for a quick visit and to bring us lasagna for dinner!  There was plenty of leftovers, but I have to say that the pepperoni was enticing me to have another piece.  That night, Annie's Aunty Cathy came over to finish the bumper pads in the crib, which she did an amazingly beautiful job on. 

 The skirt, bumper pads & ties, & the two pillows were

all made by Annie's Aunt Cathy for Maggie! 

Thursday was where we established a quote of the week, which I'll be posting from now on...

Quote of the week:

Annie to me - "The proximity of tea to baby is too close." As I sip hot tea while holding Maggie.

My parents came over to help out and spend the day with Annie & Mag-pie. 

Maggie dressed up for Grandmommy & Grandpa.

Annie & my mom went for a little errand during the afternoon while my Dad spent some one-on-one time with the little granddaughter.  We've got to keep that cabin fever at bay, so I think the outing was a good thing for Mommy.  Grandmommy & Grandpa stayed for dinner, which my mother was nice enough to cook for us. 


Below are some more photos from Thursday:

Daddy with his new 'do, holding Mag-pie at the end of dinner. Mommy decided that pants were optional for Maggie. 

Close-up of the nearly 4 week old Mag-pie. :) 

Looks like it's almost time for another round of olympic sleeping...

Friday evening was outing #2 for Maggie, which was another family event on Annie's side - Cathy's surprise 40th birthday!! (I'm protecting the innocent :)   )

It was a fun time, and we got some great photos:

This is Annie's Uncle Tom holding "L.A.", as he calls Maggie - short for "Little Annie."

Annie's grandmother, whom we call Gee-moo...does that mean Maggie calls her "Great Gee-moo"?

Granddad holding a passed out Maggie.

Maggie's tribute to Northside, where she spent 8 months in the womb: Thug life!

Maggie's thanking Aunt Mary for a fun evening...now she's ready to roll out to the 'hood!

Joe was nervous about holding Maggie, but we finally figured out a way that would work! :)
