One Year

I don't have a handwritten journal, I have a blog. And I print it every year and read it ALL the time. With hopes that my kids will enjoy the heck out of it one day! With that being said, I feel like I have to document this for future references, so here goes.

Today marked a year that my 2nd little girl was born and went to live in heaven. It was by far the worst day of my life. But as I lay in bed last night snuggling tight with Maggie, Miller was kicking the mess out of my rib cage. For a quick second, I wanted to complain about it. And then it hit me. I am the luckiest girl alive. And I already cannot imagine my life without Miller. He will be here in less than 6 short weeks!! Who was I to question God a year ago? Of course he had a perfect plan for me. He always does. And I couldn't be more excited about what the future holds for my family.

best friends...

Sweet Jack and his beautiful mommy...I just love these two pictures!


After a super fun birthday party on Saturday, we took Maggie to her first movie on Sunday, her real birthday. We saw the Lion "mooney" and ate lots of "pockcorn."


I can honestly say, she was perfect! It went better than my wildest expectations. She sat in her seat and ate her popcorn almost the whole time. Sweet girl climbed in daddy's lap at the end and fell sound asleep! It didn't help that we went right during nap time! Needless to say, she had a blast and we will be taking her to a movie again!

Still wearing her 3D glasses from the movie.


Happy Birthday baby girl! These past 2 years have flown by! You have brought more joy, smiles, laughter and love into our house than I could have ever imagined! We love you more and more everyday!

Growing Right Along...



This sweet boy wouldn't quit sucking on his hand during our ultrasound today! He is weighing around 3.5 lbs(on the big side) and perfectly healthy!! Do you notice who he looks like?!!! YEP...me!! That poor boy has my big ol pudgy nose!! BUT...I can honestly say...the idea of having a little boy that looks like me is thrilling...since Brian stole all of the thunder with Maggie! We all know who she looks like!

I have excellent news to report...I started my maternity leave today! Woo Hoo!! I could not be more excited and plan on spending the next few weeks getting lots of love from my Maggie Moo while it's just her in the house! And we have a big birthday party coming up this weekend, so I will post lots of pics soon!!
