Thankful.
I don't think we've ever been as thankful on Thanksgiving as we are this year. Maggie has brought so much joy, excitement, and love to our little family (and our extended family), and we couldn't be happier.
Thanks, Maggie!
Love,
Mommy and Daddy

This Week in Maggie
On Monday Maggie and her Mom attended their weekly class at Isis in the Prudential Mall. After class, Maggie went to the Post Office to apply for her passport. She'll be sure to send blog updates from whatever exotic location she chooses to visit. After lunch at the mall, Maggie and her parents took a pleasant stroll from the Back Bay to the North End. In the evening, Grandma came by to hang out with Maggie and babysit while Mom and Dad went to dinner. Thanks Grandma!
On Tuesday, Maggie went to class with her Mom at MGH and then they met Dad for lunch at Anna's Taqueria. Maggie spent a relaxing afternoon at home. On Wednesday, Maggie tried to go see Quantum of Solace but this expiriment failed, as Maggie was not her usual quiet self and spent the second hald of the movie out in the hallway with her Mom. It looks like Maggie won't be visiting the theatre again anytime too soon.
On Thursday, Maggie visited her Grandpa's office and joined him for lunch near North Station. After lunch, she took a nice walk along the Charles with her friend Marisol. That evening, she enjoyed a visit from her Dad's friend Marissa.
On Friday Maggie took a bath and went to Fort Point for a tasty lunch at Flour with her parents and her Mom's friend Liz. She then went to Downtown Crossing to buy Christmas presents for a homeless child. After getting all dressed-up for her first "cocktail attire" event, Maggie rode the Red Line to Harvard Square and spent the evening at Charlie's Kitchen and the IOP. She made lots of new friends and worked the crowd like an old pro. On Saturday Magie had brunch in Cambridge at her Dad's friend Scott's house, coffee with her Mom's friend Erin in Central Square, and then spent the rest of the afternoon in the Back Bay. She enjoyed a nice lazy evening at home.
On Sunday, Maggie sat patiently for her Christmas card photo shoot and gave a few smiles for the camera. She then traveled down to Scituate to enjoy a pre-Thanksgiving feast and meet members of her family on the O'Donaghue and McInnis sides. She was only a little jealous that she missed out on the chicken wings, ribs, wild boar sausage, and smoked turkey with all the fixings.
Just another delightful week in the life of Maggie!

Harvard-Yale Weekend
Maggie made her first trips to Cambridge to celebrate Harvard-Yale weekend. Friday night she hit up Charlie's Kitchen for the famous Double Cheeseburger Special and then attended the Red, White & Blue Gala at the Kennedy School's Institute of Politics. On Saturday, Maggie went to a pre-game brunch in Cambridge but, given the 25 degree temperatures, she skipped the tailgates and the Game, and instead had coffee with Claire's friend Erin. She was happy to hear that Harvard won and clinched a tie for the Ivy League Championship (it doesn't quite make up for the Sox losing in the ALCS and Brady being out for the season, but it is something).

This Week in Maggie
On Monday, Maggie and her Mom went to a class at Isis Maternity and then had lunch at the Pru Mall. Maggie visited her Mom's colleagues at Foley & Lardner and was a big hit with all. Later on in the afternoon, she took a walk with her new friend Marisol in the North End.
On Tuesday, Maggie went to a class with her Mom at Mass. General and had lunch at Bertucci's with her Mom's friend Carrie. In the evening, she walked to Ropes & Gray to meet her Dad, and everyone enjoyed a delicious dinner at Wagamama.
On Wednesday, Maggie went shopping with her Mom and had a checkup at the North End Community Health Center. She is doing great and now weighs 9 pounds and 11 ounces.
On Thursday, Dad began his paternity leave -- he is off work until December 1! The family took a trip to City Hall to collect copies of Maggie's birth certificate and then had passport photos taken. We also had lunch with Dad's old friend Eric Lev.
On Friday, Maggie had an amazing lunch at Galleria Umberto, her parents' favorite pizza place. She then went up to the Boston Athenaeum and helped her Dad pick out a few books. In the evening, Maggie hosted 6 friends (Scott, Shannon, Oppie, Heather, Eric, and Nicole) who came over and feasted on baked ziti and cannoli. Maggie was the star of the party.
On Saturday, Maggie made her first trip on the Orange Line (and her first trip to a bar -- though she won't visit any without her Dad until she is at least 30). She hit up Clery's to watch the annual DePauw - Wabash Monon Bell Game. DePauw dominated the game and Maggie left happy. In the evening, Maggie watched her first James Bond film. She is excited to see Quantum of Solace next week.
On Sunday, Maggie walked along the waterfront and around the Federal Courthouse. She enjoyed a lazy afternoon reading the paper and then went to dinner with her friends Tony and Nicole at Antico Forno in the North End.
Just another week in the life of Maggie!
