Fast forward 16 months or so...

The last year+ has brought us such a tremendous amount of joy.  We are settled into our home and love it from top to bottom.   It has been a wonderful place to watch Maggie grow from a toddler into a pre-schooler.  Our little girl is kind, spunky, and smart.  She is queen of the one liners and puts a smile on our faces every day. 

As Travis recently posted on Facebook:
My favorite Maggie quote of the day: "You know what song I have stuck in my head?" Pause for dramatic effect. "Baa Baa Black Sheep."

Above and beyond it all, the most magical thing has been watching Maggie step into the big sister role even before Baby Nugget is here! Earlier this week she woke up early from her nap at day care and was just laying on her cot.  Her teacher asked her what she was doing. "Thinking" was Maggie's response.  Wanting to dig deeper, and knowing that Maggie has a gift for saying funny things, Maggie's teacher asked, "Thinking about what?"  Without skipping a beat, Maggie replied, "About Baby Nugget." Hearing this little  story just warmed our hearts!  

Daddy and Maggie attended a "Frozen"-themed Princess Ball.  Maggie was just thrilled to have such special time with Daddy.  We look forward to creating more unique memories like this for both of our children. (Wow! It feels weird to write BOTH of our CHILDREN.)

We are so excited to see what March brings as our family of three expands into a family of four.
