Good Road Trip

Yesterday was a good day. Mommy and Daddy and I went to Bob Evans for breakfast and then we went to see my Grammy and Grampy Marsteller. They have a really nice house on a lake that even has a waterfall!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really enjoyed visiting with them. Mommy and Daddy had fun, too. They ate pie with Grammy and Grampy. Grampy is a big guy; bigger even than daddy, and Grammy is sooooo sweet. I look forward to seeing them again soon. I am sooooo lucky to have so many people to visit and who love me.

Take care,

Max

Easter Weekend Part I

What a great weekend I had. First of all, Daddy is home for Spring Break. I don't quite know what he is supposed to be breaking, but as long as he is home with Mommy and me, I am happy.

Friday we went out to lunch as a family to a place called French Street Cafe. It was a nice place. Then we went home where Mommy started to not feel well. She said it wasn't the food but a bug. I don't like bugs then if they make my Mommy feel bad. Mommy made quesadillas and then I went to bed.

Saturday was fun, too. Although Mommy had to go to work. I missed her a lot, though I do like having fun with Daddy. Mommy came home and fed me my lunch; she still wasn't feeling that well. Then Daddy and I played some more Halo2 while we waited for Daddy and Mommy's friends, Felicia and Amanda. After they showed up, we all went to Chef Peng's for lunch. I had a good time there, too. We got home and Mommy was home!!!! She didn't feel well and had come home early from work. She got out of bed to visit with Felicia and Amanda, though. Felicia is funny: she took like 100 pictures of me. I don't know how to count but that number seems right.
After they left, Mommy and Daddy got food from a place called the Outback. It smelled good. Mommy and Daddy seemed to enjoy it. We watched a movie called The Day After Tomorrow. Mommy and I fell asleep before it was over. Daddy said he liked it more than he thought he would. Wow was I tired.

Easter Sunday arrived!!! Yayy, Jesus! Daddy and Mommy told me the Easter bunny stopped by but didn't leave me any eggs to find or chocolate to eat because I can't eat either. Well, that's okay because Grandma Ries had gotten me an Easter basket. take that Easter Bunny. Bock Bock.

I wasn't sad for long, though, because I go to go to church with Daddy since Mommy didn't feel well, she stayed home. We got to the church and I was happy to see that Grandma and Grandpa Ries, Great Aunt Nancy, Great Uncle Bill, and Great Grandma Williams were there. Daddy ate breakfast with them while I had a good time smiling at all the people who came to see me. Then Grandma Ries went to change my diape diape. I started to miss Mommy and couldn't help myself: I started to cry a lot. I even screamed. I know I was in church, but I missed my Mommy sooo much. Daddy ended up taking me home where I was happy to see Mommy and had my second breakfast.

Later, after Daddy got home, we went over to Grandma and Grandpa Ries's house. Where Great Uncle Ray and Great Uncle Bill and Great Aunt Peggy were there as well. Everyone one was there for a Happy Easter. Great Aunt Peggy brought me a stuffed orange Easter Bunny; I love it. Take that Easter Bunny. Bock Bock. I also love Great Grandma Williams's hands. They are fun to chew!!! Yummy. Well, after a big meal and lots of fun, everyone left, including us. I miss everyone and can't wait to see everyone again. I know I will see Grandma and Grandpa Ries soon, so I won't be too sad.

The best thing, though, is that in about four weeks I get to go celebrate Easter again with Yia Yia and Papou!!! Yayyy. How lucky am I that I get to celebrate Easter twice?!? The Easter Bunny has a second chance to bring me eggs and chocolate...Bock Bock.

Take care everyone. See you later. Max out!

Hi all, Max here,

Max's Busy Adventure Weekend:

This past weekend was a busy one for me. First of all, Daddy took me to a thing called Student Congress at a place called Boardman High School. I slept a lot but saw lots of older girls and boys. Then Daddy and I went home to see Mommy who was home from the library where she works. We were only there for a few minutes while I ate lunch before Daddy swept me up and into the car again.

We drove to a place called the Mall where I had a great time cruising around in my stroller. At the Mall it was Daddy's turn to have lunch. He got a piece of pizza and a cream soda. The pizza looked good. I can't wait until I can eat pizza.

Do you think that was enough for one day? Not even close, bud. Daddy then took me to visit Aunt Debbie, Uncle Jim, and cousin Sarah. I had a good time there. Uncle Jim is funny. Aunt Debbie, Sarah and Daddy colored Easter eggs. They were pretty. Then Daddy tried to feed me that evil bottle thing again. I don't know why they do that. I am starting to like the little bottle better, though. Maybe it isn't so evil after all.

If you think that was a big day, you won' t believe what happened next. Daddy took me home which was great because I thought I was going to be able to play in my jungle gym and play with Callie since I hadn't seen her all day, but then Mommy got home, and we were out the door into the car again. Whew.

I was really happy, though, because after a nap, I woke up at Uncle Sean, Aunt Megan, and Cailyn's house!!!! Yayyy. I got to see Jackson and Wiley and play with Cailyn. I got really tired, though, after a long day like that one, so I went to bed early.

The next day I got up and Mommy and Aunt Megan loaded me into Aunt Megan's car and took Cailyn and me to visit Auntie Marsha, and then took all of us to a place called a Baby Expo. I wasn't sure what that was, but it was a big place. I guess I am happy as long as I am with my Mommy.

Well, after a long visit to the Baby Expo and another car ride, I was at Aunt Megan and Uncle Sean's house again. The big people ate dinner, and it was into the car again and home.

I had a really busy weekend, but it was a fun-filled one. I can't wait to visit Cailyn again. She and I had a great time. If you don't believe me, check out the picture below. That's all for now, this bloggin' stuff is hard work. I think I will go take a nap. Good bye for now.

Love, Max

Shout out to all my friends and family


Shout out! Posted by Hello

Hi all, Max here.

Just wanted to say hi to everyone. I am having a bit of a rough day for some reason. Can't put my finger on it though. Just don't want to sleep and I just feel like crying.

Mommy says that I am a morning person and since it isn't morning anymore, I guess I feel a bit sad. I should probably just go to sleep and that way morning will come quicker!

until next time,
love,
Maximillian

Home Again

Hi all, Max here.

Mommy, Daddy and I went to Papou and Yia Yia's this weekend. I love them so much. It was so much fun to be there. And, guess what? Thea Sophia and my uncles Craigory and John were there too! I also got to see Tula and Julie. They are so pretty and fun. My mommy is lucky to have such cool cousins. I can't wait to see them and the other ones the next time we are in Marion.

Uncle John didn't bring his friend Carrie but he brought some cookies that she made. Mommy said they kicked a$$, but she wouldn't let me eat any of them. Yia Yia also made all sorts of yummy food, but Mommy said I couldn't have any of that either!! I don't get it; I hope I will get to try it someday. Today Uncle Craigory fed me with the evil bottle thing. I decided to give it a try so Uncle C wouldn't get upset. Uncle Craigory didn't change my diaper this weekend; he said once was enough.

I can't wait to go to Marion again to see everyone!

Until next time,
Love,
Maximillian

Callie

Hi all, Max here.

I just wanted to share a picture of my sister kitten. Her name is Callie and Mommy and Daddy say she is the sweetest kitten ever! I think she is pretty darn sweet myself. Mommy and Daddy adopted her when her biological mother kicked her out of their house because Callie was a "runt". She is still very small, but she is full of energy. She runs around all day, though she does manage to get in a few naps!!

Until next time,
Love,
Maximillian

A Long Weekend

Hi All. Max here.

This has been a very interesting weekend. Daddy had to go on a trip with his speech kids. Some kind of tournament. He was gone for three days! Mommy and I had a great time together though. We had a pajama day; we didn't go anywhere all day! It was fun just being home. We played A LOT. Then Mommy came up with a project, so we went shopping to find what we needed. We made cute tee shirts to surprise Daddy with when he got home. One of them says "Born to Game" on it.

On Saturday Mommy had to go to work and I went to stay at Grandma and Grandpa's. I got to see Shay and Pookie too. Grandma tried to feed me with that evil "bottle" thing and I would have nothing of it! (I did drink a little, but I knew Mommy would be there soon to see me.) Despite the evil bottle, I had fun at Grandma and Grandpa's.

When we got home Saturday, my sister kitten Callie must have missed me because she kept giving me kisses and rubbing her head on my feet. Mommy says that Callie wanted me to pet her, but I'm not quite sure I understand how to do that.

Then I took a bath and went to sleep. The best part though was when I woke up Sunday, Daddy was home! He and I had some cuddle time. It was so great to see Daddy again. I missed him so much!

until next time,
Max

A typical day

Hi all, Max here.

Today mommy and I practiced my standing up. I absolutely love standing and trying to balance on my feet. I am also getting better at sitting up (with a little help from my friends, of course). And I am trying really hard to roll over too!

Mommy bought me a kitten that looks alot like my sister Callie. (I am hugging her in the picture below.) I also love my inch worm and Whoozit. Jumping Jack is somewhere, just not in the pic. He's a frog. I will try to get a good picture of me and Callie to post. She is the sweetest sister kitten ever.

that's all for now folks.

sincerely, Maximillian

Snow Day!

Hi, all.

Guess what? Daddy is home today because of a blizzard (whatever that is)! We have already had a full day. I have played "Go up to a standing posiiton and back down" with Daddy and had breakfast with Mommy.

It is so exciting having Daddy and Mommy home at the same time!

Grandma and Grandpa got to see me twice yesterday. That was fun!!!

Well, off to my nap. I hope to have lots more fun when I wake up.

Take care everybody and stay warm like me!!!


Love,

Maximillian
