Our first-ever morning with Maeve (back when Kath and only Kath could hold her) ...
Exactly one month later, our Maeve at home, smiling at us from the crib in our bedroom ...
Maeve and her dad in his office, one month after first meeting each other ...
Can it already be the one month anniversary of our 'Gotcha Day'? Can it possibly be that we've held you so close for so short a time?
Maeve, wearing her new jacket from Grandma and Grandpa ... "So, you're going to bring me to visit the people who gave me this today?"
On Grandpa's birthday, his very first time holding grandchild number 10!
A Grandpa's birthday pic in Grandma's kitchen ...
Maeve, having overcome her (understandable) concern and suspicion regarding the bizarre chicken-clucking noises that forever emanate from her new Grandpa, decides his arms are a pleasant place to be after all ...
Maeve considers using the force to levitate the soccer balls in Grandpa's basement ...
But decides reaching is more fun down in this plushly-carpeted subterranean expanse.
I like it here with you, Grandma---your den table's just the right height for me!
Maeve and her dad and her Grandma and her Grandpa chortling together, as it was meant to be ... The promise of the Fordes' Christmas Eve Games Night Surprise begins to be fulfilled---and in this moment, the promise of years of wonder to come is renewed!
Happy Birthday, Grandpa
Love, Maeve

What a confident and content little girl smiling at you from her crib. It's great to see Maeve and all of you continuing to do so well!
After hearing about grandma and grandpa in China, I'm very happy to see you all together. Maeve looks beautiful. I love that first picture of Kathleen and Maeve in China. It's hard to believe we haven't had these babies in our lives forever.
Enjoy your family time!
Grandma and Grandpa look very happy and proud. And Maeve is getting more beautiful all the time!
Hope all is well with everyone...we think of you guys often!
