Where Is The Summer Going?

Exactly a month ago I said "We're Still Here," and then we disappeared.  My blogging is leaving a lot to be desired these days, but I've been re-inspired.  My girlfriend Courtney has started a family blog and reading it has made me realize how much I miss about her life and how grateful I am that I can now at least read about it.   So, here are my excuses for not writing more lately, and here are some cute photos of Maggie that will make you forgive me.

It's possible I may take on too much sometimes...just a little possible.  Recently I coordinated the volunteers for our town's 4th of July festival which brought in 5000 people.  I've started a speakers bureau for the TAKE Foundation and am doing public speaking on women's' personal safety.  I started the Humble Hostess blog. I planned a Disney World Trip for a Make-A-Wish kiddo.  I'm designing a new Integrity Hills website, among other marketing tidbits.  Helping Jared on his "projects." Yadda yadda yadda. Oh, and Maggie's teething and learning to walk. Okay, there's all my excuses and a quick update on what's going on in my world.  Even though the to-do list never ends I'm loving every minute of it.

And Maggie is an absolute hoot right now.  She cracks herself up and will giggle nonstop.  She's learning what gets a good reaction from mom and dad, and is forming definite opinions.  Her one summer activity, Kindermusik, comes to an end this week but we have lots of playdates lined up.  She's quite the social gal.

Maggie's walking more and more...

...but when she's in a hurry she still prefers crawling.

For one of our playdates last week we decorated (err, devoured) cupcakes.

The cupcake playdate exhausted Maggie so much not even a flashing camera could wake her up.
