Time to go!

Well, Auggie has spent plenty of time with us and we are sorry to say that (aside from spilling the beans) he did not have a very eventful week here... hopefully the next host house will be more exciting! Here are pics from Max and Auggie's last breakfast:

Although you probably can't tell, this is an action shot of Max waving good bye!

Max handing Auggie to me to be put in that yellow sleeping bag again!

A Traveling Buddy!

It was perfectly coordinated that Auggie and Isabella arrived at Maxon's house on the same day. Unfortunately it has been a busy week here and they didn't have very good hosts. Hopefully they got to spend some time together discussing their travels. Isabella is short for 'Flat Isabella,' and is related to Flat Stanley. If you are not familiar with the story, check out this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_Stanley

Isabella started her travels in Colorado. Then she stopped in California. Now she is here in New York... where to next?!

Spilling the beans

Attn Aug 07 members,

I got to tag along with Keri today as she went to work. At lunch time she decided to pull out the ultrasound machine again. She's still waiting for a 'professional' opinion (but it's always too busy on the days that doc works!). But I will share with you... We saw three lines, a little hamburger, Keri's baby continues to appear suspiciously female ! Until we get confirmation, let's keep this our little secret!

Come out, Come out...

Where ever you are!! Haven't previous hosts of Auggie noted his tendency to hide (aka disappear). Future hosters: BEWARE! This rubber duckie is quite sneaky! Auggie's disappearance was the perfect excuse to clean out Max's playroom... No 'after' pics, but here's the 'before.' Unfortunately Auggie was no where to be found in the playroom. Who would have guessed it?! He was hiding in the Christmas Tree... hmmm... how do you think he got there?

Back in the States!

Auggie arrived in New York, safe and sound! And just in time to help Maxon and family put up their Christmas tree! If only he had arrived a few hours sooner he could have been included in the family's infamous Christmas tree hunt! Max was initially interested in Auggie, but much to his Mom's dismay, this quickly passed.

On the Run

Auggie has not had a very eventful stay here at the Sprietsma's... you could say that it was quite relaxing. Daniel showed Auggie many different places in our house, so much so that I thought we had lost him. Places Auggie hid include, behind the toilet, behind the computer, in the garbage, in the filing cabinet, in Daniels dresser, in the toy box, in mommies purse... and those are just to name a few. Daniel kept throwing Auggie in the bath tub. I guess since he is a bath toy, and Daniel has a couple of other rubber ducks, it seemed logical that Auggie stay in the bathroom. Daniel loved taking Auggie in the bath. He would run with auggie in hand, and throw the poor little guy in the tub.

It seems that Auggies time with Daniel has come to an end, and today Daniels Mommy will bring him to the post office. I know that Auggie will have a safe trip, and will be very excited about his next stop on the Adventures of Auggie. Seeing as once again we are working with the Canadian Post, we'll see how timely his trip actually will be.
