Playing Catch-up

A lot has been going on in the last couple of months and I haven’t been on top of the blogging like I would like to. I have also been horrible at taking pictures and as I sat here looking through them I realized how bad I have been. I print the blog as a book at the end of each year and I am missing so much of what we have been doing. But I think we have finally started to get in the groove of having a 2 year old again and Maggie is totally adjusted so if I could stop getting sick I may actually start to feel like I am getting things under control. Although, next Tuesday we will be heading down to Salt Lake City for Maggie’s open heart surgery (on Wednesday) which means it will be awhile before things really do calm down here. Oh well, that’s life. Right? Is it possible to ever actually feel like things are normal and under control?

The following pictures are totally random but I wanted to capture just a little of our life right now.

Playing Hide-n-Seek with Sammy. This girl LOVES her Papa.

It is amazing how many hours of fun one box can provide. 

We love having family live so close and cousins to play with. Maggie got her first haircut.

Maggie’s Blessing Day (April 11). Her Aunt Cindy made the beautiful dress that she wore for her blessing and when we had her sealed to us.

Despite the snow, we celebrated Easter weekend with a little egg coloring, an Easter egg hunt with the cousins, hidden baskets, a Family Home Evening on the Resurrection and we also listened to General Conference.

Maggie is a twist-and-lick Oreo eater.She also likes to show you her chewed up food.We have had some beautiful spring days mixed in with the yucky snow and windy days. Maggie loves to be outside. Two best buddies. This little girl is one messy eater! Food usually ends up everywhere, including her hair, because heaven forbid she let any one help her.
