Maeve had a great check-up today at the doctor! She doesn't have to go back for a well check until she's 3 so let's hope she stays healthy.

Maeve is 2
We celebrated Maeve's 2nd Birthday at school and dinner out last night plus a Kirchner family party tonight. I know it's cliche but it really is hard to believe how fast 2 years have flown by! Our toddler is so caring to others, very energetic (up most days by 6am), and polite (says please, thank you, and bless you now).
We enjoyed visiting her at school yesterday where she said 'Maeve don't like it (cupcake)' and refused to try a bite. Eric ate it for her. She had crackers instead. We then opened presents from the Edmonds family and headed to dinner. She "sat" in a booster seat for the first time but we prefer when she's strapped in since she kept standing up on the booster. She enjoyed fruit and french fries and a few bites of ribs.
To prepare for the party, Maeve helped get the trail mix bar ready and helped herself to some (mostly M & M's). We saved her favorite meal for the night of her party - Aunt Cathy Garvey's macaroni ricotta casserole. She had two helpings and enjoyed it as you'll tell from the picture. She has loved that meal every time we've made it! For the party, we also enjoyed Dairy Queen cake but again she said 'no cake' and 'no happy birthday' but we sang to her anyway and she tried a few bites of my ice cream. She spit out the chocolate and just ate the vanilla. She's just like her mommy :)
At the party we also enjoyed a photo booth, coloring Mickey and Minnie, and opening presents. Maeve loves all of the gifts that she received even though she was overwhelmed after opening a few of them :) Handmade gifts by Grandma Jan (a beautiful hat) and Aunt Laura (zipper bags with toddler toys in them to keep her entertained in the car and on the plane) will be very useful in the coming months.
Thanks to all who helped celebrate her birthday! Happy 2nd Birthday, Maeve Leigh. Enjoy some of the pictures we took last weekend. We even got Sadie in a few of them although a toddler and a dog are hard to keep still.

Happy Halloween
We had a great night trick-or-treating for an hour with our neighbor and friend, Lucy, and her 5-month old sister, Julia. Maeve enjoyed M&M's (her favorite), figured out how to open and eat a tootsie roll pop, and called everything else fruit snacks (Skittles, Mike and Ikes, and actual fruit snacks). There was a lot of trick-or-treaters on the cul-de-sac behind us but not many visitors to our house. Guess the giant bag of candy from Costco PLUS a giant box of full sized candy bars is going to work on Monday!
We also enjoyed time at Maeve's school fall festival a few weeks ago. There was a horse ride, pumpkin patch with stickers for pumpkins, chili and baked potatoes, a pie bake-off and trick-or-treating at all of the classrooms. We also had cupcakes at school yesterday but Maeve 'doesn't like it' and wouldn't even take one bite.
And today Eric and Maeve went to Great Grandma Joanne's house to say 'Hi.' Maeve enjoyed her time with 'Yaya' and is still going strong tonight after all the candy. Hopefully daylight savings time doesn't mean she'll wake up at 4:30am.
