The Dog Days of August

At just over three months of age, Maggie has a very curious mind:

As her parents, we felt compelled to explain some of the more shocking things about life. Here is Maggie's reaction when we told her how much college will cost when she is old enough to go:

Even though I'm a Michigan grad, I felt, to be fair, I had to tell her that going to Michigan State was always an option. I don't think she liked that idea...

Anyways, we have been very busy in the month of August. The weekend before last we went to a BBQ hosted by Al in Royal Oak. He cooked up some tasty sausage burgers. Last weekend we celebrated the wedding of our good friend Angie in Detroit... right in the midst of some seriously severe weather. Congratulations, Angie and Tim! Hopefully the newlyweds are enjoying their honeymoon in the Dominican Republic. Friday was our first full day away from Maggie and we missed her a lot. It helped to know that she was in good hands because my mom was watching her. Thanks, Mom!

Next Prez of the Happy Hands Club?

Maggie has emphatically discovered her hands. She stares at them, waves them around, stuffs them in her mouth, and slobbers on them. She also has a lot to say... she's often jabbering about something (wonder where she gets that?!). It's garbly-gook to us, but she knows what she means. Saul just found her in her crib blabbering away as she rolled to her side and then back onto her back. It probably won't be long until she's rolling all the way over. She's already 12 weeks old today. I think she's a spunky one, this one. She laughs after she poops. Now that's Miller humor.
