A Dobbins' Day

 My kids like to pose by statues and Coral is no exception.  This pig was just her size and too irristable! Even Maggie posed with the piggie!

Uh oh, it looks like Maggie likes her thumb!  YIKES!  Yes, it looks adorable, but we thought the same thing with Hunter and now that he's 9 and still sucking his thumb it is definately NOT cute!  What are we going to do with this girl?  She doesn't like a binky and will gag when I put it in her mouth.  For now we just keep pulling the thumb out!  Grrrr!

 Hunter loves to hold Maggie and just (gently) squeeze her and love on her.  While I took their picture, Cannon popped over the top of the chair and peek-a-boo'ed them!  Not sure about his smile, but he didn't want to be left out, so I snapped his picture too!  These kids are a lot of fun.

Audrey and Maggie and staying warm all cuddled up with a quilt in the chair.  They sure are cute!

                                                             Ooooooo, just love this girl!

Audrey likes to hold Maggie.  She is a good helper for me. Coral also loves to hold Maggie.  These two have adorable smiles! Cannon loves to just hang out!  He's so silly!

We went to lunch group this week and they went to a cafe in Winterset, IA.  It is in Madison County, which was made famous from the movie The Bridges of Madison County.  The cafe we went to was even in the movie!  I watched the movie in college but wasn't impressed, I don't even think I finished it.  BUT I was very excited to learn the Madison County is the county right next to us and Winterset is only like a half hour away. The town of Winterset was really cute and I want to go back and explore some of the shops and things to do there.  They had a beautiful courthouse that Coral insisted was her castle.  The rest of the day she was a princess and wanted to go to her castle.  She even said there was a froggy in the pond!  When Russell came home she told him that he was the prince and that he should take her to the castle.  Where does she come up with this?  Can't wait to go back! After lunch we stopped at a covered bridge on o...

Maggie had her 2 month check-up yesterday.  She's 2 1/2 months old now, and we feel like she's been a part of our family forever.  She was definitely meant to come to us! She is now 24 inches (91% percentile) 13 lbs. 7 oz. (81% percentile) and Head Circumference is 17 which is the 99% percentile This girl has one big melon! We sure love her big kissable cheecks and roly poly squishy body!  She's so fun to cuddle and her smiles are the best!
