We Meet Maggie

We had every intention of posting these pix on Friday evening, but for some reason, I couldn't get access to the internet through Beany's wireless router. Very frustrating. I even called tech support in Dallas, and not even Booty could help me past the problem.



Here is Bubby holding Miss Maggie. She is very excited, and loved the thought of loving on our newest granddaughter. She announced that Maggie likes her, but admitted that it would short lived. It is hard to overcome the hold that Babsy has on her babies. Ly still won't have much to do with us, even though I know she likes us.



Bubby brought this purple tricot blanket for the baby. It has circus elephants quilted on the front and is quite purple. Sarah and the baby both seem to be enjoying it.

We left the hospital and drove to see the rest of the kids. We also needed to give Beany a break. We stopped on the way and bought Wendy's for dinner. The kids were happy to see us, if for no other reason than chicken tumors. Aaron abruptly departed, and we were officially on-duty. No problems at all. Lydia went to bed after a couple of attempts and the big kids had a sleep over in Jakey's room.



On Saturday morning, Bubby wanted to go to Temple Square and visit the R.S. building for some Enrichment ideas. We decided to turn it into an adventure and took the kids on an outing. We drove to Little America where we parked and had breakfast. Katie was suitably impressed with Little America, especially when we called it a "princess hotel". Our coffee shop breakfast was good, and proceeded without incident. Ly ate her own plus Katie's leftovers.

We caught Trax on 5th S. and headed up to Temple Square. The R.S. Building was closed, so we went to the visitor's center. The kids had a good time, particularly Jake. Then we caught Trax back down to the car. Ly and Kate loved riding on Trax.

The photo above was taken of the kids standing outside the temple doors. The photo below was from inside the VC.



By the time we got back to the house, Babsy and the baby were home. Then the mauling began. I left for home in the early afternoon, and I have been wondering how it is all going. I left Bubby in SLC, and when we talked last evening, all she could say was that it was a long day.

I got back to CC in time to see Drewfy and Sister in their Halloween costumes. They looked great, as you can see in their Mom's blog. Daniel and family came to Sunday dinner. Yes, I can manage to cook that with, or without, Bubby's help. It is certainly more enjoyable with her help, however. After dinner we played blocks and watched the kids play. They left for home at about 6:30 PM.

It is going to be a long week without Bubby, but I have lots to do at work, so it should pass quickly. At least she will get some quality Maggie time!
