Maggie is talking more and more. She can say several words and tries to mimic what you say. It’s pretty fun. Here are some of the latest words we can recognize:
Backpack – there are always several near the front door
Mimi – Her name for Amelia
Hat
Shoes
Eyes
Baby
More
Outside
Thank you
Please
No – This one is getting a lot of use these days
Up
People!
People!
What an amazing thing they are.
I wonder I wonder
How you make them.
This is a poem Amelia wrote at school. Both Dave and I loved it and figured we’d tackle that question a little later down the road.

Will’s birthday request has consistently been to pick corn. Thanks to an October birthday, a Pop Pop with a combine and several fields, and now being within driving distance to Iowa City, we have been able to fulfill this request. This year he also asked for a chocolate cake decorated with caramel frosting and candy corn pumpkins and strawberry ice cream. We had pizza on the screened in porch with Gramma Anne, Pop Pop Brian, Larry, and Uncle Dave. Another great celebration on the farm!
