Happy Halloween from Miss Maggie

My computer screen is cutting off about a third of this photo, so I won't post any more for a while and see if the problem gets resolved. Anyway, I've got more of these on my Facebook page. -- ET

Big bow, big grin — and a new wagon

Maggie just figured out how to grin. We took a few photos after church yesterday.

Looks like she's up to something!

Attempting to grab the camera.

I was laughing and didn't get her all in frame, but this one's still pretty cute.


Practicing her new grin with Nana and Papa.

Papa took Maggie for a ride in the new wagon he got for her. (You'll notice our neighborhood supports both ends of the political spectrum!)

Papa went slow, but it was nonetheless a white-knuckle ride for Miss Maggie.

Maggie goes to IHOP

But, much to her disappointment, she didn't get any pancakes.

She did, however, get to try out a new bib that her great-grandma sent her.

A tale of two Margarets

Maggie finally got to meet her namesake last weekend.

Her great-grandma Margaret Tryggestad from Sioux Falls, S.D., came for a visit. My folks flew from Nashville to Omaha and drove up to see grandma. Then all three of them piled in the car and headed down south to OKC.

We got some really nice shots just before they left. (Jeanie already was at work.)

Four generations of Tryggestads.
