Happy Birthday to Mommy

The Malmquist's Feed me!

We had a great time with the Malm's wish they were still here. All have all been eating too much, due to Marg's great cooking. Yesterday we had rain but today the weather looks good for the beach.

Harper in the mini-tent

Having a great time at the beach. Sara, Dave, and Harper arrived very late Friday night after a long drive from Me. Chris, Amy, and Mags came on Sun. The Babes played together (sort of ) with Maggie's sumo voice sometimes spooking Harper but it was very cute to see them together. Had some perfect beach days, stroller walks, fish dinners, Amy's birthday celebration, and killer poker games. What a great way to begin our time at the shore! Come again Malmquists, we miss you already.

DM=RA

No one has posted the news so I guess I will. After years of diligent studying I am now a licensed "RA" (Registered Architect) in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. I would like to thank everyone for their support especially my dear wife Sara who had to deal with my study habits which minimized our quality time together on weekends and nights after work over the course of the years. I owe you!!

Great Pond

We too had a fun filled 4th of July. Dave's brother has a house up in the Belgrade Lakes, so we went up there for the weekend. The entire Malmquist clan was present. It was the first time Harper had met most of her cousins. Fortunately the rain has finally stopped here, which allowed us the chance to swim, water ski and enjoy some outside time. We also stopped in Casco to see Bill and his brood, but unfortunately no pictures to prove it... Although we got the chance to meet Leah and visit with Miss Elizabeth. Lil' Will was snoozin'.

It was a family affair

Another 4rth

This year's parade had even more fire & rescue vehicles than ever if thats possible, a new category of PT cruisers, and also the oldest vet in existence, a poor wizened fellow propped up in the back seat of a convertible. I'm pretty sure he fought at Gettysburg.

The baby parade, camo and peace signs.

St. Ann's pipers are consistently off-key.

Mags had many red, white, and blue outfits throughout the day.

Thatcher the cracker-ass

This year the kid and baby parade had quite a few military type vehicles like the thing John Belushi drove in Animal House at the end where he crashed into the reviewing stand. Nothing says 4rth of July like a 8 month old baby in a replica of a submarine with nuclear warheads. Next year we are entering the Simpson Sisters in a giant bong-mobile that their handy Dad will make. Now that says Peace!

Hope everyone had a great day!

The Kids Are in the House

Maggie likes to carry something, walking and growling as she goes, just like Unca Thatch.

Its next to impossible to get a pic of Hope w/out her mouth open.

Our darling Maggie

Had lots of fun yesterday. We watched Maggie in the morning playing endless games of ball, open the drawer and rip out the clothes, and careen around the place like a "drunken sailor" as her Dad says. Later on Hope and Hunter arrived, put on a play and then decided on where we would eat dinner. Hope wanted to go to a place that had clams and Hunter wanted Mexican. After we went to "Mr. Chills" for ice cream, good time was had by all.
