I wanted to start our first family blog with just a little note about our little girl. Even though she still lets me bundle her in her blankets, and cuddles against my shoulder, I look at her and I’m amazed at how she’s developing and becoming this little individual for whom I’m practically bursting with pride. Everything she does is so contagious... I love her laugh, with her deep dimples that shout joy. She’s been pointing at everything lately, and even though she can’t say “look Mommy!” It’s pretty easy to determine what she’s thinking, with her wide eyes, raised eyebrows and giant smile. I think the best part is when I do discover exactly what it is she’s trying to communicate to me. She makes me feel like the smartest person on the planet, and her praise is endless, waving arms and all.
It’s funny, because when I first thought about having a baby... I took it so seriously. I couldn’t ever really get comfortable with the idea, because of the responsibility that came along with raising a child. I thought about all the things I needed to be prepared for... teaching, comforting, guiding. I think what I’ve learned the most through having Maggie, is that she teaches, comforts and guides me. She is a constant source of knowledge, so pure and innocent. I thank my Heavenly Father for her every day. Joel and Maguire are the greatest blessings in my life.
I hope through this website, I’ll be able to share with those we love our joys, our lessons, and our quirks (there’s more than I can count). And above all, share with my family one day, all that we will go through together.
