Big fun weekend

Aunt Melodee, Gramps and Grams Dirks finally made it to Charlotte for an exciting baptismal weekend. They arrived friday, and after some heavy duty Maggie time the weary travelers got rested up for a fun filled saturday excursion to the Panthers stadium for fan day. And, who did we run into, why the Kulps (Bennett was chosen to represent the fam in the photo section because of her amazing cuteness in particular on that day...not to say that Mary, Dave and Celia are not adorable in and of themselves). With that being said let's move on to the rest of the weekend's activities. Saturday afternoon was spent once again in heavy duty Maggie time, which consists of staring at Maggie and cheering her on when she almost rolls over, which might I add, she did today from back to tummy a first for the Mags...last week tummy to back....this week back to tummy... all very exciting things in our home. Then also on saturday the Hunts and Nashes dropped by for a brief stint, and for the first time in all of Sam and Maggie's existence they were both awake at the same time (yet another important photo op). So, onto sunday, the baptism. I have no pictures on my digital camera, but Melodee does so I will post those pics tomorrow (hopefully). It was a wonderful day, Maggie's schedule was WAY off, but yet no tears during the big moment, only much needed thumbsucking...oh so soothing. Mommy and Daddy were a big blubbering mess, like on our wedding day, only Tyler didn't cry that day now that I think about it, it was only me. Anywas, that's neither here nor there. Maggie had a big following come out for the big day, aunts, great aunts, great great aunts, grandmas, a great grandma, a great uncle, a grandpa (the other was under the weather) second cousins once removed (i think that's how it goes), and one mommy and daddy, and a whole slew of covenant family! I hope slew means a lot. We had a nice big party back at our place with lots of fun presents for the Mags. It was a wonderful weekend, and this is just about the longest blog entry I have ever written. Thanks for reading all this....more tomorrow.

This sentence:
"Mommy and Daddy were a big blubbering mess, like on our wedding day, only Tyler didn't cry that day now that I think about it, it was only me. Anywas, that's neither here nor there."
keeps making me laugh over and over again.
And, do I look uncomfortable or what in that picture of the 4 of us?
Happy Tuesday
