Maceo's starting to turn on the charm

Napping

Someone's getting a little bit better at napping on his own.














But it helps to have Anyang nearby.

Sing along!

Dinner at the Loewens'

Kate, Maceo, and I went over to my dad and Susan's house last night for a celebratory dinner. The celebration? My cousin Giovanna's birthday. She and her fiance Silvio and their friends Pristina and Noble came, as well as Giovanna's mother, my Aunt Mary. Aunt Mary lives in Montana, so it's always a joy to see her, as it's a rarer occasion than when she lived in Massachusetts. Susan cooked a splendid chicken dinner, and there was a rather decadent display of desserts ranging from cheesecake to napoleons to tarts to flower pots of chocolate mousse and other delicacies. Maceo behaved quite well and people enjoyed meeting him, until about 8:45 when he began to melt down a little. Kate and I became a little anxious to get him home and calm him own, so we skedaddled out. We got him home and fed him, but he was a bit riled up and kept us up until about 11.

Home Alone

Yesterday was the return to work for me. Kate and I were worried, as it would be a long day; I had classes and then a softball game, so I would be gone for about 12 hours. If Maceo were to fuss, it would be a trying time for Kate. Luckily, my mom came over to help support Kate and to play with Maceo. And also luckily, Maceo was just an eating and sleeping machine for the day. By the time I got home, dinner was ready, Maceo was asleep, Mom and Kate were in great moods, and I was steamed because we had gotten stomped in our softball game.
