My Summer Vacation

We all took a trip last week to visit family and had a wonderful time! We visited first with Ben's parents and celebrated his mom's birthday. Then we visited Heather's parents and enjoyed a few days in the mountains before returning for another night at Ben's folks.

Heather's parents are currently taking care of a stray kitten, in the hope that it
will soon be adopted by Maggie's cousin, Mina. We got to play with it a lot on our visit - it was so VERY sweet and Maggie and the kitten (which is yet to be named) seemed to take a great interest in each other. The kitten would run around Maggie when she was on the floor and Maggie would try to kick at her. When we held Maggie in our lap, the kitten would crawl up and cuddle with us and sometimes Maggie would try to "pet" her - which involved grabbing it's fur. The kitten was very patient and didn't react to Maggie's rough handling. They were very cute together! If it hadn't been for our sweet cat at home, we probably would have been tempted to adopt the kitten ourselves, but we are quite happy with our own Alley Cat.

Maggie enjoyed showing off for her family - like how she can roll over from her tummy to her back and how she can sit up (with a little help). When we returned to Ben's parents at the end of the trip, we took Maggie to church. Grandmother LOVED showing off Maggie at church!

Now we are home to trying to return to a "normal" schedule. Maggie is working on cutting tooth number 2, but thankfully she's been napping very well the past couple of days!

We hope you had a good Fourth of July as well! God Bless!
