Wow, what a crazy busy few days!
Thursday Patrick's friend, Greg, flew in from Ohio. He got to meet Maggie for the first time. She stared hard before deciding he was cool then wouldn't leave the poor guy alone.
Friday morning Maggie and I flew to Utah. She was a perfect angel and slept from the second we took off until we touched down. So much for carefully planning with a DVD player. We arrived to a huge birthday party for my dad with a house packed with family...quite overwhelming but a good time nonetheless. There were so many kids running around Maggie couldn't stand being left out so she just stood up and starting walking around! She went from taking just a few steps at a time to a full fledged walker. I was so astonished and proud.

Saturday we drove into Provo to divide up some of my brother's childhood pictures. The four sisters are each going to help create/assemble his life scrapbook. Very exciting. We went out to eat as a family (which is always an adventure with MY family). No trip to Provo is complete without swinging by the Super Target. My mom had all six kids and a few grandkids traipsing through the isles. Maggie got her first doll. She still has no interest in it yet.

We took Maggie up to the "rabbit room" and she LOVED it. She played for a long time and pointed at the rabbits, birds, lady bugs, etc painted on the wall. Notice the adorable swing in there as well.
We stayed up very late talking and I regretted it Sunday morning when we had to get up early for church. After church most of the family came up to SLC for a "relaxing" potluck.
Monday was another trip down to Provo where we met at Charlotte's for sandwiches and chatting. Char's girls put Maggie on a blanket with all of their stuffed animals and then dragged the blanket around the kitchen. Then Char read to her. She loved it.
Maggie was, again, an angel and slept the entire flight home. She showed off her perfected walking skills to her dad and then fell right back into a routine with him.

We miss Maggie! Can you come back?
Sounds like you had a great time! Sorry I missed out seeing your family Friday night. Bummer! Also, I love the Rabbit room! Is that at Julie's house? If so, did she paint it? If so, can she come paint one for me?!
Rabbit Room is Julie's house. She didn't paint it. The house came that way--the previous owners hired the painter. And, I know, its PERFECT!
