Meeting her Portland-Based Grandparents



Margaret is VERY lucky to have three of her grandparents in town. It is always awe-inspiring to watch your parents hold your child...like the world is coming full circle.

My dad is a baby LOVER - so he took the opportunity to hold Maggie as soon as he could. My mom is not necessarily a huge fan of newborns, but since this is her last grandchild, she is all of a sudden very nostalgic and wants to hold the baby. Maybe the strategy of naming Maggie after her was a good one...hee hee.

Gordon came over in the afternoon and gave us another wonderful gift -- sleep! He held Miss Maggie for almost two hours and watched the US OPEN, while Mark and I took a nap.

One side note about the silly flower head band. As you know - Miss Francie REFUSES to wear dresses, headbands, hair clips...basically anything that screams girl. So, my strategy is to get my "fix" in to dress a child like a girly girl NOW...in case Maggie decides to follow in her sister's footsteps. The funny part is that Francie LOVES to see all the girly stuff.....on Maggie.
