Maggie's 1st Birthday

What a year! Our little girl has grown and accomplished so much in this first year. She even started walking just in time for the big day. Maggie celebrated her first birthday with visits from Grandma and Grandpa Flynn and MawMaw and PawPaw Farwig. We had a fun party with a few neighbors and friends. Maggie wasn't so sure about her cake at first, but once she had a few bites she realized that chocolate was pretty yummy!

Party fun!


Yummy cake!

Visits to OH and MO

We had a great time last week visiting friends and family in Cincinnati, Dayton, and St. Louis. We stayed with our friends the Ehlerdings in Cincinnati while Jim had training. Maggie had a great time playing with the twins. Next we headed to Dayton for a few days to visit Grandma and Grandpa. Maggie really liked exploring their big back yard. Aunt Beth was in town from California so we got to see her too. Then it was off to St. Louis to visit the Farwigs. The boys enjoyed watching the Cardinals pound on the Reds, while the girls had loads of fun playing Nertz. Sunday we celebrated Maw Maw's birthday and Maggie's too. Maggie really liked her cousins Zane and Lia and was trying to chase after them, but they were definitely faster. We were exhausted when we got home, but it was a great trip and so wonderful to see our friends and family!

Triple the fun at meal time!
