Daddy's Weekly Dollop

Here are little dollops from the past week:

1)  Maggie is a Nut!  I absolutely love Maggie's personality.  She's funny, witty, and makes the best facial expressions.  I was looking at the pictures in my phone and came across these pictures.  If there were a set of pictures that truly captured Maggie's personality, it would have to be these:

2) Maggie and I have decided that it's time to practice riding her bike without training wheels.  She did better for our first practice session than I thought she'd do.  She's not one who tolerates pain, so I thought for sure that after her first fall, we'd be done.  Nope . . . she has stuck with it and we practiced for about 30 minutes and she did great (relatively speaking).  Here she is showing off her new look.

3)  My legs hurt . . .  Campbell, Maggie and I worked in our church nursery this past Sunday.  One of the little girls was slightly upset so I was holding her.  Campbell walked by and the girl reached out for Campbell.  So I decided to let Campbell hold her for a minute.  Well, that minute turned out to be for about 45 minutes.  For 45 minutes, Campbell was stuck.  If I set the little girl on the ground, she'd turn around and reach back out for Campbell.  After about 15 minutes, Campbell began saying how her leg hurt from the girl sitting on it.  Well, she stuck it out and did a great job keeping the little girl calm.  Campbell even read some books to her.

4)  We went to see the movie Annie over the weekend.  Campbell brought one of her friends along.  The girls loved it.  Campbell and her friend stayed in their seats the whole time and didn't move a muscle.  Maggie on the other hand . . . well, let's just say, Maggie and I went exploring.  Somehow we found our way to the front row where we watched about 15 minutes of the movie.

This picture doesn't really show you how close Maggie and I were to the screen and how much we had to look UP to see the movie.
Bonus:  Here's a picture of the girls from our family vacation that we took during Labor Day Weekend.  It was nice to get a way for a few days with just the family.

First, love that sweet Campbell was such a wonderful helper in the nursery! So precious. Second, Paige and Maggie had the SAME facial expressions. Such clowns! Third, that picture of the girls on Labor Day blew me away. They look sooooo grown up. Beautiful! PS Did we tell you Paige broke her arm AGAIN over Christmas break?
