no pics

Sorry but the digital camera is on the fritz, we are in the process of getting a new one. A process because we have looked and not yet purchased. However, excitement doesn't stop in the Dirk's home just because the camera does. So, I will try and describe some of the fun of last week. Thursday we headed to Columbia for a visit with Grandma and Poppa, and Maggie went on her first Lake Murray boat ride. Now, I am really sad that we don't have pictures of this because along with this particular boat ride came one very cute pink camo life jacket purchased by one very excited Grandma for a certain granddaughter. Maggie climbed into it like a bathing suit, it was a little too big and made her look just like a turtle dipped in Pepto bismol...adorable! My mom and dad have pics on their camera so perhaps someday we will post those. Maggie also had her first dinner at a marina (via boat trip), well she didn't exactly eat there but she definitely dined. And, she enjoyed a few leisurely cat naps in Grandma's lap during the lake tour. Friday, we met up with Aunt Christine and Uncle John and we woman folk spent countless hours feeling the tummy that covers little Joshua Brody! He is quite active to our delight, and the men folk, of course, spent two days golfing. Saturday we headed back to CLT for an exciting evening of babysitting our dear little friend Sam. We read all of two books once Sam arrived and then Sam slept like a champ until his parents returned. And that just about sums up the excitement that flourishes in the Dirk's home.
