Hide and seek
As many of you know - the last few weeks have been consumed with one thing - our move. Maisie has made the best of this situation - there is so much to explore in her new house. Her favorite so far is the cabinets. The empty cabinents (in the old house and the new) have given her ample places to play, as evidenced below: she likes putting her toys in them, playing hide-n-seek in them, you name it.
As you saw in the previous post - Maisie has been copying what she sees in the world around her - sweeping the floors etc. I let you guess from the picture below what her parents must do quite frequently. (That is a computer mouse she is holding to her ear - but anything will work, a remote control, a toy, whatever. ) I'll have you know she was conducting some serious business while this picture was being taken.

Whistle while you work....
I know this probably violates a dozen child labor laws, but I promise it wasn't my idea. Maisie went into the closet all by herself, and pulled out one of her new favorite toys - THE BROOM.
The way I figure it, she sees Miriam sweep almost every day (thanks to Mandy) and has decided that it looks like fun. I'm not complaining!!!

Summertime, and the living's easy....
For those of you wondering what's kept us busy for the past month or so, we've been remodeling our new (to us) house, and trying feverishly to sell our current house.
On the remodel front, I've attached a couple of albums below, for those of you who might be interested in all of the construction activities.
On the sales front - we have a contract on our house! Took about 4 (very tense, at times) weeks, but we're past inspections and expect to close on July 8th.
For those of you who tune in for Maisie updates only - she'll be back in a starring role very soon... :)

At last....the Birthday Blog.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAISIE!!!
So, we've gotten a bit of a hard time for failing to get Maisie's first birthday posted on the blog. I know there is no excuse, but lets just say we've had computer issues and been just little bit busy the last two months.
Maisie's 1st birthday weekend was great. She had so many people in town to see her...Nanna Sandy, Pop and Anne, her GGs, Aunt Julie and Uncle Ken. And of course her Houston family Grandma Lois and Barry, and Papa and Grammy joined in the celebration.
Here are some of the highlights. The full set of pictures is available though the link at the bottom:
Why are we clapping? Well....let's just say, you do what you gotta do to get a smile. In an effort to get Maisie to smile for the camera, Brian was throwing the ball for Mandy (because Maisie LOVES watching her chase it)...and managed to throw the ball over the fence instead. We're all saying "YAY"!!
The FIRST picture of the birthday girl on her big day. Still in her jammies!
MMM.. the first bite of birthday cake. In fact the first bite of any kind of cake, ever. If she's anything like mom, it wont' be the last:
Maisie got a bunch of bows with all the cute outfits she received for her birthday. We decided she needed to wear them all at once!
Maisie got some many gifts from all her family and had a great time opening them all:

She such a ham!
Maisie definitely likes to ham it up for the camera. In fact, I'm convinced she now smiles when we are taking pictures.
We are headed up to Dallas this weekend for Brian to play in a lacrosse tournament and to spend some quality time with aunts and cousins. Hopefully these will tide you over until we return:
Maisie shopping with mom and dad at home depot (picking out a new kitchen sink!):
Using the tupperware as a hat (i swear she took it on and off 20 times and thought it was hysterical each time):
