We have a lot to update everyone on. We've been doing a lot of work around the house and have had many visitors.
Grams and Grandpa Maglich come first at the end of June, along with Aunt Kristen. Grandpa and Daddy went crazy in the yard, taking down tree and many limbs with the chainsaw. The yard looks so much brighter now. Anna loved hanging out with Grams and waiving to Grandpa every time he drove by on the tractor! We took some time out from the yard work to go to the beach.
Next, Nanny and Granddad Goodwin came in to town. The first week we spent at our house and Nanny and Grandad helped a lot in the garden, weeding, mowing the lawn, watering the pots, and taking out a great big tree that was next to the patio. Daddy and Granddad are really strong!!
We went to the North Stonington agricultural fair and Anna LOVED seeing all the animals. She especially liked being able to touch the goats in the petting zoo.
Anna was busy playing with Nanny. They had a very good time together. Here they are dancing:
We rented a minivan and all drove up to Buffalo for the big celebration Grams and Grampa were planning. It was a Maglich celebration: Anna's first birthday, Grams's retirement, and Baby Maggie on the way. The first day everyone was preparing for the party and we took a nice walk down to the beach to start the day.
Later that day it got very hot and Anna took advantage of Grams watering her plants to enjoy a little sprinkle, and a big drink!
The party was great!! We had so much fun seeing all our family and friends. Anna was very spoiled with both attention and presents. She really enjoyed playing with all the other kids and she looked so pretty in her white linen dress from Lindsay. Grandpa and his friends cooked a pig and a lamb! All the food was fantastic and Anna was very curious about the pig.
The day after the party we had some cake to celebrate Anna's birthday...I think she enjoyed it.
We drove home and the next weekend was Anna's actual birthday. We went to the aquarium with Nanny and Granddad.
Anna had several more birthday celebrations. We had a cake on her birthday, this time strawberry shortcake:
I think that's all for now. I do have additional photos of Anna's birthday celebration at daycare, but you all will have to wait until next time to see her chocolate goatee.
Love to you all!
Jodi, Bryan, & Anna
