Guess Who's Back?

Welcome Home Dyer Family...Welcome Home!
p.s. Maggie would like to give a shout out to Ashley Abbott for the cute Irish dress.

tummy fun!

Having fun with tummy time!

And now I've had enough and I am ready to nap.

Cousins!

I'd like everyone to meet our new nephew/cousin! We are so excited to finally know that Maggie will have a boy cousin! Here he is sucking on his finger, this is a sure sign that he and Maggie will get along great, because that just happens to be one of Maggies favorite hobbies too! Inutero and oh so adorable! "Before I was born the Lord called me; from birth He has made mention of my name!"( Isaiah 49:1) How exciting to know that the Lord already knows this new little man intimately and perfectly! We can't wait to meet you too Glenn Peter Zaepfel Tyler JR (name is only a joke just to clarify).

what a week!

Will recovered nicely from his injury.

Maggie did too, but from afar.

Happy Father's Day Daddy.
Grandma put Maggie down just long enough to open some presents.
Spoilage in progress.

This has been one busy week! Saturday morning the Junkin family (minus David) flew in from Texas, followed by Aunt Melodee in the evening. The Junkins stayed for one night while Melodee is currently with us and will be here with us until saturday. We had a great time and Maggie got to meet her second cousins once removed (or something like that, my 1st cousins), and her Aunt Melodee all in one fun filled weekend. We went to the Latta Park fountains and grilled out on saturday, and we did have one minor injury (which is bound to happen with so much excitement). Poor Will hit his head on the coffee table and bruised his ear, which I didn't know was possible. So, I played nurse and jimmy rigged an ice pack to his head. Then Sunday we celebrated Tyler's first father's day! We were unable to do breakfast in bed because Tyler preached at our church that morning, but we had a grand blueberry and chocolate chip pancake feast for lunch. The fun doesn't end there folks, on monday we headed to Columbia for a surprise birthday party for Grandma and had a blast there too! Now we are home and Maggie is focusing on the art of spoilage thanks to Aunt Melodee or Melvin as we like to call her.

exercise!

Maggie likes to thumb through some family photos while she works out.
and lift....one...two....three..
check out the arms and those tone shoulders.

Here are a few pics of some of Maggie's exercise routines throughout her days. Maggie tries to mix up her routine so that things don't get boring, and as you can see it is very hard to get bored with such amusements as the boppy and the bumbo (which are two hot items, both fun to use and say). While Maggie is getting stronger during ab/neck/glut. workouts, she still can only stomach 4 sets of 5 minute "tummy times" a day. And, you can already see the muscles bulging through the baby fat.

Correction

The May 23rd blog post I incorrectly posted that Tyler was a master of theology but technically he is a master of Divinity. I apologize for the confusion. Although, I think he has mastered them both (not really... only joking..always more one can learn). But, I hope to convey that I am thoroughly proud of my husbands accomplishment!
Tyler must now wear a rubber band around his head so as not to lose all the knowledge he has gained over these past three years.

Back to Work!

Well, June 7th had to come sometime, and so it did yesterday. The day I returned to work, the go live day if you will, and all the bottle-feeding training paid off, because Maggie had a great day with dad. So, good in fact that last night she slept 9 whole hours. I think she was a tad exhausted from all the fun she had with dad. And, surprisingly my day in the OR wasn't too bad. It was a good lesson for me too, because I learned that Maggie can indeed survive without me. I will never be her all in all, only Jesus can fill that role for her.

Of course I had to post some cute pics of the Mags!
