Today Evie went to the doctor for her FINAL helmet check. She made it all the way from 10mm difference to 2mm difference! I am beyond happy to be done with that clunky, stinky thing! It really wasn't that bad, but I'm thrilled to have more cuddle real estate again!
Wright and Filippis even ground out the helmet so that it would look clean (and not smell) for a keepsake. They also handle all of Maggie's fittings for her brace, and are just an awesome company. They really know how to take care of kids (and parents)!
How do I look?
Andy and Katie came to stay with us this weekend so they
could work on the some wedding plans for the fall. The highlight was definitely dinner at Selden
Standard in Detroit – everything was absolutely perfect, and we got to try a
lot of different things because we had a big group. My parents took the girls overnight, so we
even got to sleep in the next day!

Katie is one of our most tech-savvy friends, and she made this totally realistic video of Maggie doggy. I laugh every time I watch it!
Here is Maggie trying to show off for Andy and Katie. Maybe ballet isn't for her...
Sunday was Sarah Elizabeth’s baptism at St. Michael’s. There were 7 little ones to keep busy during mass, and it was just so
nice to see how the family has grown in just a few years. Sarah is the chillest baby in the world, and
was a complete angel the entire day.
Jamie is the very proud godfather along with Allison’s sister Kristen as
the godmother.
So beautiful in the Rabine christening gown
Sarah has her own personal dresser - so spoiled
Action shot!
Proud mama
Sarah's like, "please can we be done with photos?"

Unfortunately, Maggie started off with a little cough on
Sunday morning, and by the end of the party she had a fever and a non-stop runny
nose. The poor thing just slept all
afternoon and night afterward. Thankfully she was mostly back to normal the next
day.

I forgot to post last week about Maggie's trip on the school bus! "Foley" the school bus is now feeling better (he was broken down when Jamie tried to take her for a ride), so Jamie offered to take Maggie to work during Catholic Schools Week. The kids bus from the high school to the church, and so Maggie got to experience her first ride. She was pretty nervous, but really enjoyed it!
This is amazing!
This is an example of how awesome my husband is - even though he has a billion things to take care of at work, and it was probably stressful trying to keep tabs on Maggie, he knew how happy she would be and it was all worth it to him.
I have the best daddy!
Afterward they had school breakfast, and Maggie got to play with some kids and wolfed down two servings of eggs!
Eggs with ketchup - that's how the classy
folks do it
Maggie also helped Jamie drop off a bunch of his students' art to an art show downtown, so she got to look around a little bit.
Sooo high!

Evie is our little chatterbox, and wants to be a part of every conversation. She is finally starting to make syllable noises instead of just cooing... I don't think she associates "da da" with Jamie and "ma ma" with me, but I have noticed that "da da" comes out when she's goofing around, and "ma ma" only comes out when she is upset and needs some help.
Did you know the Filippis' graduated from Foley?
