Today was a pretty low-key day. We did laundry, played outside, and took naps. It was a very good day.

During her bath earlier, Maggie noticed the penguin toy on the wall.

I don’t think she was impressed. She was giving that bird some awfully mean looks.

I can remember when Dave and I first started talking about having children. He told me that he really liked the name Maggie for a little girl and I couldn’t believe it. I’d always thought if I ever had a daughter, I’d like to name her Margaret Elsa, after my grandmothers. So it seemed pretty perfect that the two of us agreed on a girl name so quickly.

While we were visiting my parents last weekend, Maggie got to meet the two great grandmothers that she was named after. Here she is with my mom’s mom, my Grandma Marge (Margaret).

And here is a picture of her with my dad’s mom, my Grandma Elsa. 

I am so honored that my daughter gets to share her name with those two special ladies.

There are a lot of different things I need to catch up on here (Maggie’s birth story, our trip to the petting zoo, Luke’s birthday, etc). And let’s not talk about the two loads of laundry that need folding, the photos that need printing and backing up, and the rest of my to do list.

Tonight I added sewing a sun hat for Miss Margaret and her teeny tiny head to that unending list. I tried to buy her one, sized 0-9 months, and it looked like she was wearing a lampshade. I’ve already found a free pattern online to use and am sure I have plenty of fabric, now just to make the time.

It is supposed to rain all day tomorrow. So I think I’ll go pick out some material now – just on the off chance the boys are playing nicely, she is napping, and I don’t have anything else to do. The laundry isn’t going anywhere right?

We got the disk with the rest of Maggie’s newborn photos in the mail yesterday. Here are some of my favorites.

Luke was still adjusting to his little sister and wasn’t at all interested in getting pictures taken that day.

Dave took the boys to get haircuts Saturday afternoon. I didn’t have a lot of hope that Adam would come back with his done, but he handled it really well this time and didn’t cry at all. Apparently he and his brother switched roles though, because Luke had a fit about it. It was a successful trip though and both kids have nice short hair for summer.

Miss Maggie now has the longest hair out of our three kids.

This was my lap during naptime today. It was pretty cozy.

I took Luke this morning to get his pictures taken. I wasn’t sure how they would turn out since he’s not a big fan of sitting still. Thankfully the photographer was incredibly patient and got some great shots. These are the three we ended up getting.

It was hard for me to narrow it down to just those three. Here are the others she took.

I still can’t believe he’s going to be two next weekend!
