There was a LOT of crying. So sad!!!
You can see the sting really well here. I was afraid it would hurt for several days, but when she woke up the next morning, all the pain was gone. So very thankful!
And, happier times about an hour before:
Can you tell that Tyler is actually paler than Maggie?
A lot of you know already, but after Maggie got lost on the cruise, she has become incredibly insecure about being apart from us. Like I can't even go upstairs without giving her a detailed description of which room I am going to and what I will be doing there and for how long. Not kidding. Really. Even at bedtime she gets worked up if we are not going to stay upstairs. Guess what helped her feel safe and secure at bedtime? Puntzel, the giant stuffed tiger. Puntzel stays on her bed all the time now, often collecting stuffed animals in his curled up arms, and Maggie does much better at night. The best part is when other people go in Maggie's room - he always gives people a start! Ha ha!
My (step)dad has taken up playing the bass in his old age. He's putting on a concert here with friend Janet. It was a lot of fun, and some revenge for all the years he made me whip out my saxophone and play concerts when friends and family stopped in. maggie insisted in staying up to watch the whole thing.
Halfway through the night Maggie decided she'd had enough of not being the center of attention, and proceeded to sing several songs to Janet. Here's part of one of them:
Maggie and her Grandma Margaret.
It was a quick trip, but fun.
This is Mill Creek. The wast was about a foot high over the road. Normally this creek is just a trickle.
The grocery store where I shop. The water was just about up to the loading dock.
The parking lot of our church. Luckily we did not sustain any damage.
This is a road close to our old house. That is the roof of a car stuck in the middle of that pond!
Doing the cowboy boot relay. She couldn't quite get the hang of the big boots at first.
Sack race!
Her class. 
We are trying to get the grass to come up in our backyard. Monday I watered really well, and after work Tyler went out to seed. Our yard sits on the edge of this huge limestone field, so the water doesn't absorb all that well in some places. that makes a LOT of mud!
This past week we had a couple of visitors to the porch light. This moth was about 3 inches long. Olive had to come check it out.
Here's the big bomber!
Another of the moths on our back porch. Totally cool!
Enjoying a milk mustache. So cute!
The weather is picking up here in Nashville, and I think it is here to stay. It is so fun to break out the summer clothes for Maggie (and to remember how good a deal I got on each item =) )
