And the kiddies will ... PAR-TAY!

Took Maiya to one of my girlfriend's daughter's birthday parties over the weekend. And Maiya had a BLAST, more evidence that even though she will be one years old soon, she's going to have the TIME OF HER LIFE! :-) Or I will.

Here's the evidence:

 (still not understanding how to rotate these photos . . .  HELP!)

Last Hoorah - Summer Dip!

The following photos were taken on September 5th. And just in case that date doesn't mean anything to you, it's significant because it signifies the END of Summer, yet we're still striving to complete summer activities!

Yes, this may have been Maiya's FIRST and LAST pool encounter of 2011, but I'm sure she'll be back next year . . . possibly with a mean backstroke!

:-) Happy FALL!!! (. . . a new season just brings baby girl's birthday closer, stay tuned for sneak peak photos of the Dr. Seuss extravaganza that's to come)

  

 Uncertain of how I can get these photos to turn right side up. :-(

Aunts are the BEST!

Maiya & her great aunt Gretchen

In the mean time . . .

Here's what's been going on with US!

. . . a little one-on-one time with mommy

. . . we took a little trip to the local library and sat in the ABC chair!

. . . and we spent a little time with some special friends! 

. . .  spent quality time with daddy. 

. . . road in the basket for the FIRST time! 

. . . mommy loved on me. 

 . . . so I stuck my tongue at her! 

. . . and she stuck it RIGHT back!

YEP! I've been doing a WHOLE lot! 

Maiya's Dedication

Today, we did something very important. We made a promise to the Lord that we'd raise Maiya in his word. We made a promise that we'd take care of one of his most precious gifts. 

May God be with us as we raise Maiya, and God bless us as a family. Amen.
