March in Carmel
Blitz & Pinky come to visit! It was a little colder than Vegas. The boys & Maggie having a serious discussion on the beach. My guess it involved food.
Spring time in Capitola
John getting ready for the waves & Maggie playing on the lawn.
Our neighbor Audrey & us before our early morning walk. Perfect weather and a beautiful view!
Mommy & Maggie out in front of the house.
Playing the piano with Grandpa
I am still in the process of posting some great shots from our trip. It might be months before I actually get caught up. Here she is with Grandpa learning how to play the piano.

Maggie's Baptism
While we were home, we had Maggie Baptised in the Catholic Church. Father John at the Carmel Mission was kind enough to perform the ceremony and we had almost 30 friends and family attend. Father John spoke of the wonderment of children and how amazing all of their new discoveries were. Maggie decided to chime in and made it clear that she agreed. Perfect timing. I forgot my camera at the ceremony so I hope that the 'paparazzi' were able to get some good shots. If you have never been to the Carmel Mission Basilica, it is beautiful and worth a visit. www. carmelmission.org
Surfing the 'Getty'

Dutch, Ringo & our dear friend the 'world famous surf photographer/part time surf instructor for fighter pilots from the Mid-west' Nikki on dawn patrol at the Jetty. Or as John has renamed it... 'the Getty'. Check out Nikki here... http://www.surfline.com/womens/photo_bamp.cfm?id=13007&ad=1
Cousin Tim & our little surfer girlBantry 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:

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!

Going in for the big kissSitting 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.

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.
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.
