Uncle Johnny

Maggie loved Uncle Johnny...

Surfing the 'Getty'

Bantry protecting Maggie

Taking a break from our walk. Bantry was too cute protecting Maggie. Or resting...

Round at Pebble

It was so much fun to see John's brother Dave out golfing at Pebble. I think that they won.

California

Well, I actually don't have that many pictures from Ohio because the camera arrived a few days after I did. I hope that the rest of the Smiths have some pics to share from the fun 'Cinci themed' party at the clubhouse! So, here we are already arrived in California and a little bit warmer.

Maggie had her first introduction to Bantry dog...

This might only be funny to me!

These pictures might only be funny to me! John & I are all dressed up and ready to hit the steakhouse in Cinci. Stephanie started to take some pictures... but could not figure out how the camera worked. First picture was when things were going well... then we lost it and so did Steph.

Ohio

We have finally downloaded tons of pictures from our trip (ok... 562 to be exact). I will spare you most of the boring ones and will only post a few shining stars (maybe 100 or so...). Here we go: Maggie investigates Grandpa Bill's glasses
...meeting of the minds ...with Auntie SusSus
...with Great Gram Trudie

New cousins

Maggie finally got to meet many of her cousins while in Ohio. Here she is with Penny & baby Owen.

We are back!

We had a great trip! I will try to upload pics as quick as possible. Until the vacation pics are up... here is a picture of Maggie's Great Grandfather (the one on the right) Win Endicott. Of course much of the discussion at home was about who Maggie took after... do you think she looks like Win?

Last post for a while ;)

Maggie & I are heading to the states tomorrow. Hopefully she will enjoy her first plane ride and it will be a smooth trip. I will try to post some pictures while we are enjoying our time with family. Wish us luck and we will see you in a month!

Another night out with the Baughs

Matt & Jamie came back through England on their European tour.

Just because...

Getting her revenge for the kissing monster...

Going in for the big kiss

Sitting and Rasberries

We have been really busy with our great friends in town. Big news around our house... Maggie has learned to sit up all on her own! We are really excited about that, but mom is more excited about her sleeping through the night. So, we are well rested and ready (I think) for the next stage... crawling.

Out on a date...

Enjoying a night out on the 'town' with Matt & Jamie.

The Attack

Maggie has no idea that the kissing monster is just behind her and poised for an attack.
Here he comes! Maggie yelling like a dinosaur... her new favorite sound.

Matt & Jamie babysitting

Maggie getting ready for lunch

She gets really excited about her lunch. Notice the green bowl in the lower left hand corner of the first picture... that is the bowl heading towards her.

Day trip to Ely

Matt & Jamie in front of the cathedral

The Baughs are here!

Matt & Jamie came for a short visit to England. Here they are trying to get out of the phone booth and below, John & Matt solving the problems of the world.

Laughing with Mom

Having fun on the floor!

Exploring her world

Can you tell we love this little girl?

Night at the pub...

We dragged our friend Renee and her little dog Oscar to the pub with us on Sunday. It was fun to sit by the fire on a cold night and introduce Maggie to the ways of village life.
