Knobs

For almost two years now I've wanted to get knobs for the cabinets and drawers in our kitchen, laundry room and two bathrooms. Tired of waiting and ready to take action I went ahead and ordered 61 of them last week. They arrived on Monday. Wednesday Chad installed them and I love how they turned out!

Goodbye Summer

This week we took down our vegetable garden. Our tomato plants were overgrown but finished producing fruit a few weeks back.

On Saturday Chad noticed some pretty yellow and purple caterpillars eating our grape leaves. Maybe they were Greek caterpillars? (Bad joke.) Anyway, they're gone now and thanks to them, so is most of our grape vine. No grapes this year...maybe next year?

Giant Zucchini

Last night we harvested an amazingly big zucchini. And considering we didn't think we'd get any from the plant this year we're particularly impressed with the outcome. Of course we had to use Mags as a measure of how large it really is. Keep in mind, she has adorably chubby thighs, but this monster makes them look slim! Here are the stats:

Weight -

Mags: 12lbs, 13oz

Zucchini: 7lbs, 8oz

Length: -

Mags: 24 inches

Zucchini: 17 inches

Too bad the county fair is over a month away. I think we'd have an award winner!

Happy Birthday, Mags

Of course it's not really her birthday, but she is two months old today so I'm posting photos. These pics are from this weekend at the cabin. As Chad said at the time, Maggie is thinking in this second photo, "Oh Lordy, the vapas." Ha!

Because It's So Stinkin' Cute

A few days back Maggie & I were smiling at each other for quite a while. Usually when this happens I can't get a good photo but this day was different. Even though it's a little blurry I still love it. I think you can see why.

7 Weeks

Yesterday Maggie turned seven weeks old. To celebrate she requested time away from her mom, so Grandma and Grandpa O came to babysit while I went to the dentist. While I was gone they got this cute shot of her.

One Month Old

Our little Maggie is growing up. OK, maybe not by much, but she is a month old already. Time flies, that's for sure! Life is great with this sweet girl.

More Visitors

Maggie's Grandpa and Grandma M. are here visiting this week. She's having fun getting to know them and I know they are enjoying her even more. In the first photo you can see Mags with Grandma M. and the quilt she handmade for her. We all just love it!

2 1/2 Weeks Old

We had more visitors come meet Maggie this weekend: Loren and her mom, Judi! They stayed the night on Saturday and we had a great time catching up with them and introducing them to Maggie. Mags slept most of the time but at this point, what else is new? Here we are with Loren at breakfast on Sunday and below is Mags in her new onesie--an awesome gift made by Loren and Andy! I can't decide who loves it more, Maggie or Daddy...

Grandpa and Grandma O

Here are a few photos of Grandma and Grandpa O. with Maggie. They are our most frequent visitors and she already loves them very much. Mags is so comfy when they hold her, can you tell? We're lucky they visit so often and we can't wait for her to get to know them better.
