Happy 4th of July!

What a great week of celebrations for family and country!

The biggest news this week was the birth of little William James Odglen!  He is a very healthy little baby, and I just loved holding him today!

Baby Will!

Momma with her baby boy!

My sweet new nephew

Proud Uncle Jamie

Wednesday was Grandpa's birthday, so Maggie and Jamie went over in the afternoon for some pool fun, and then I joined after work for dinner and festivities.  Maggie was very upset about the pool for quite a while... Jamie decided to let her sit on the edge and kick her feet, and after that, she was ready for swim time!  She had a blast, and kept saying "bye bye" to get the boys to go underwater.

I'm not so sure about this, Grandpa

Hear ye, hear ye, it is my Grandpa's birthday today!

This is waaaay better than bath time!

Uncle Justin came home for a couple days, yay!

Being handful for the birthday boy

Working on future figure skating lifts?

Happy Birthday!

Wooo!!!!

On Friday, we went to my parents' house for a barbecue.  Jody, Ed and Alex were there too!

Ready for the pool!

My sister really idolizes my Dad... she even
copies his outfits (it's kind of weird)

Oh pool boy!

USA is #1!

My beautiful nieces

Ugh, I don't have time for this, Aunt Holly

Did somebody say "fireworks?"
 
Trying to get a nice photo, but Maggie had other ideas

Grammer snuggles

Maggie and Luke made a game out of hugging:



We finally decided to take away the pacifiers for good this week.  Maggie only uses them when sleeping, but she's very dependent on them to fall asleep.  She always had one in the mouth and one in each hand (so weird).  We started on Wednesday, and she would scream for a while and eventually fall asleep exhausted.  After a couple days, she seems totally fine without them - very proud of our little girl!

Here's a couple other random photos from the week:

The service here is terrible!

Maggie really wanted to ride the train at K-Mart with Grandma
...'til she turned it on, then Maggie was terrified!

Learning to brush our teeth!
