KC Zoo Visit

We had an awesome day with Nana and Papa at the KC Zoo today!














 Can you guess what these monkeys are doing?  My mom and I about died laughing!

A Pair of Teeth

Maggie is under the impression that her teeth need to be lost in pairs I guess because she lost her first tooth and 2 days later lost her next tooth.  Then, she lost a tooth last night and another one today.  She has now lost 4 teeth this summer!!  School better start soon, or she won't have any teeth left!!

Swimming Update

Maggie got her green band today!!!!  That means she jumped in the deep end on her own and swam an entire lap without stopping.  Now, she can swim wherever she wants at the pool!  So proud of her!  She's worked really hard to get this.  It wouldn't have been possible without her teacher, Gerri.  She is the best thing for Maggie because she doesn't let her get away with anything, or let her negotiate her way out of things.  Gerri always says that Maggie's negotiation skills will help her someday, whether it's in debate in high school, or in her career.  I joke that she's going to be the best hostage negotiator when she grows up because the criminal will give in just to get her to stop talking!!  Maggie has made so much progress with her swimming.  We are excited to see it continue!
Congratulations Maggie!!!!

The 4th of July

Maggie and I went with my parents over to our friend's house for a BBQ for the 4th.  We had great food and a great time visiting with everyone!  Maggie loved helping light some of the fireworks, too.  Here is our festive girl:
