Meeting New Family!

My cousin Kim came to Dallas this week to visit Aunt Carolyn. Maggie and I got to get together for lunch with them yesterday. We met at the Galleria and ate at Mi Cocina. Maggie enjoyed getting watch the ice skaters. It kept her busy while we caught up with each other. It has been about 1 year since I have seen Aunt Carolyn and I don't even know how many years since I have seen Kim. I am so glad we got to catch up and visit. They brought Maggie some puppets from the toy store --- Maggie loves them!!! Thanks so much.

Watching the skaters

Climbing up the wall --- what Maggie does best.

Splash Park Fun!

Last week we went to the Splash Park for a little fun and to get out the house. Maggie was a little hesitant at first and I was not dressed to get wet with her. After watching all the kids get wet and run and play she decided that it was going to be ok and so she inched a little closer. Also there was a playground just next door so she wanted to play on that for a while. We swang and swang and swang. She loves to be outside and had a great time.

Inching a little closer.

Bye Mom --- I think its ok now.

Look Mom --- No hands!

WOW this tickles my tummy when I put my head back.

The circus comes to town

Last Sunday afternoon we went to the circus. We went last year and so we thought we would make it a tradition. Of course Marcelo and I enjoy it as much as she does. We had very good seats and so we were able to see very well. We went the 1 hour early so we could get on the floor and get up close and personal with the clowns and elephants. Maggie did pretty well, she really enjoyed the horses, elephants and the people swinging from the trapeze. All in all it was a great Sunday afternoon outing as a family.

Darby, Maggie and Miss

Maggie and I went to see Darby and Miss (Muffin) on Saturday night while Trevor and Jodi went to a concert. We had such a good time. The girls have not been together in a while and we have not seen Miss in a very long time. We played outside and went to see the new house. The girls got a good wagon ride. Then we came home and Miss fixed mac and cheese and hot dogs. Maggie is a fan of mac and cheese. Then it was play time and they got Miss going and she had the girls running and laughing so hard. Miss is always so much fun and I am so glad that she is a part of our family.

Tea Time

Maggie loves to have tea with anyone or anything that has a mouth. She gives her dolls tea, herself tea, and even Lexi when she can get close enough. "Hey Lexi are you ready for some tea?"

Weekend with Babe and Poppy

We went to Hot Springs and Hope this past weekend to help mom and dad do some shopping. Maggie had lots of fun running wild and playing with Lexi. I am so glad that Lexi is so patient with her and allows her to pull and hug her all she wants. Thanks for a great weekend.

Doing puzzles with Poppy C. She is so good at this puzzle and can do it right every time.

Lexi even kisses back sometimes.

Just relaxing and watching Elmo. She loves to wear her clickers.

ITS A BOY

We went to the doctor on Monday to check on the bun in the oven and to our surprise we found out it was a BOY! I had in my mind the entire time that I was having a girl and I think that I had convinced Marcelo of the same thing. SO when she said Your daughter will have a little brother Marcelo and I both looked at each other with lots of surprise in our eyes. I said ok well I guess I better get to shopping because everything I have is pink. So it has taken a little while for this to sink in but I am getting excited!!! He will be here around December 30th.
