First art class

Evidence of Maggie's first art class is now hanging on our fridge. The amazing clay 'sculptures' are now the dining room table centerpiece. Pretty impressive don't you think? Well, I do... But obviously I am her mother.

Oakwood high school football game

Maggie loves to watch the high school band. So we head over just for half time to watch the band play and then head home.

Apple Picking

Happy Halloween!

Our little Mickey Mouse loves candy. She could not believe that people were just giving it away. Maggie & her friend Elizabeth jumped into the wagon and away they went. That is called trick o' treating in style.

The last house on our trip around the block! Jane's house!

Maggie & Elizabeth touring around Oakwood in their wagon. Notice Maggie's grin: everytime I have the camera out she does this crazy happy smile.

Mickey Mouse and Daddy.

Rainy day

"when baba gets here I show her my paints!"

Big girl bed!!

First night in her big girl bed was a big success! I asked her how she slept, she said, mommy it was really nice. Yeah, really nice.

Cup of sunshine

Maggie was working in her kitchen and brought Daddy a cup of "shushine". When I can not understand her, I always tell her to show me what she is talking about. She walks over to her kitchen and points to the light button on her refigerator. "See.... Shunshine!"

Ahhhhh how sweet, she gave daddy a cup full of sunshine.

Picking Pumpkins!

Our only family picture from the day... Maggie was clearly scared of something spooky!

The band!!

The local high school band invited the toddlers to band practice!! Who knew it could be so much fun! Maggie had a flute and was marched around the track as part of the band. Maggie was so excited to listen to the drum solo!

Zip on!

For my birthday John was kind enough to humor me and go zipping through the trees!!! Getting ready to zip on!!

Family Day and our own airshow!

Family Day out at base. It was a beautiful day here, 75 degrees and not a cloud in the sky. After they flew by the Bengals they did a few passes by us. It was really cute to see Maggie dancing on the flight line. Daddy is the second from the left.
