cousins RULE!!

I just celebrated my 23rd birthday last Tuesday. In celebration of this momentous occasion, Carrie came down with Maggie for a week full of cuteness. Please brace yourself. The following is cute beyond your wildest imagination. Enjoy. Maggie thought she would think outside the box and enter in to the toy box instead.
Grandma, Poppa, the sisters and cousins all went to the zoo. It was thrilling.

Kiddie pool. Need I say more?
Unlce Peter chilling with the Magsters on Mother's Day.

Notice how they both chose to pose with toys in their mouths. They coordinate so well!
Maggie helped me re-organize my purse.
During the week we had a fun visit with great-Grandma. She made us a delightful tomato pie! Yummm.
Maggie, with her sharp intellect is already brushing her teeth all by herself. Not only that, but she was able to instruct Brody with the elaborate details of mastering this task and he too can enjoy a good tooth brushing here and there.

First time on the swing for Brody Boy.

Brody was happy to entertain Maggie with his jumping.


The Mother's Day festivities wore out the men in the group. Must have been from all that hard work they put into eating the Mother's Day feast.

Back in SC

Well, John and I are now officially back in South Carolina for the summer. It was a long drive, but we made it! Brody wasn't sure for the last three hours of it if we were going to make it and he was definitely trying to prevent us, but we prevailed and now he is happily enjoying ample grandparent and aunt and uncle attention.

We have introduced Brody to having fun with water outside of the bath-tub, so I thought I would share some pictures from this momentous occasion. So-enjoy!
