Maggie wanted to share pictures of all of her new friends. Our Playgroup had a Christmas in August celebration last week and I tried to get some pictures but of course that was tough since these guys don’t sit still long enough for a picture. We have been having a great time and meeting lots of new friends. I would just like to thank all the moms we have met for making our transition to WI so much easier. You guys are an awesome group of woman! I will start bringing the camera to more of our events. I’m sorry I didn’t add names to the pictures but I didn’t want to spell anyones name wrong, I will add them in later.
Old Pictures!
Here are some pictures I took of Layla back in June and I’m not sure why I never put them on. But going through our pictures I found them and couldn’t resist especially the one with her tongue sticking out. She is getting so big- she now rolls over both ways when she feels like it. And will laugh but definitely makes you work for it.
The excitement of the big girl bed has worn off for Maggie, so at least once a night she makes a trip into our room- I’m still trying to figure out if she is really awake. During the week she sleeps till around 8, but for some reason on the weekends she comes in at 6! It is definitely what we deserve she spoiled us in the old house sleeping in till 10 some weekends. She is not a big fan of Thunder and Lightning either, we know she is coming in once that starts. Other than that she is doing great. We have been lucky enough to find a great playgroup that we have been enjoying. It is great for all of us! Gymnastics starts up again for her in a couple of weeks and hopefully some music classes- we’ll see.
New Pictures- Finally!
Since I was told this week that Maggie’s bed is no longer new I thought it was about time to add some pictures. these are just from us hanging out outside in the yard. You can see the garden Justin planted in the background.
Check out my New Bed!!

Maggie got a big girl bed last week!! And she is very excited- we love to play and read in it now. She has been doing a great job at night also and is warming up to the idea that Layla will be in the crib soon in her room.
There are also some new pictures from our field trip to the fire house. Layla is growing like crazy and is now rolling over and laughing, I will add some new pictures of her this week also.
Auntie Beth comes in a few days and we are all very excited!!!
New Pictures!
I was really trying to get a picture of both girls together, but as you can see I think all I really did was piss Layla off. Someday we will get a nice one of girls together.
Layla got a new chair today and as you can see Loved being able to sit up and see everything around her.
Sorry Its Been So Long!
Life here has been a little crazy, Justin has been working a lot and Leotard Crazy has been really busy. I have not been able to get pictures on the computer with all the orders. And then Maggie and I have been trying to get out as much as we can in the afternoon. going to parks and on walks getting out to meet new people.
Last week Gma, Gpa, Aunt Heidi, and Andrew came up to go to the Beach and the kids loved it. Maggie wasn’t sure what to think of the rocks but quickly got used to it and played in the water the whole time we were there. Gma and Gpa took pictures so hopefully we will get some of those to put on.
I’ve just finished adding the 4th of July pictures and then just some new ones of the girls around the house. You can see Maggie really likes to help with Bathtime, I’m not too sure if Layla was enjoying as much as Maggie was. They are both getting so big!!
We’re Home!!
We got back from NY on Saturday, it was a great trip and Maggie is still asking for everybody and talking about going in the ocean. She was very HAPPY to see her Daddy though, and he couldn’t believe how big Layla got while we were gone. She is growing so fast and starting to make lots of noise. Here are some more pictures from the park with Gma, Gpa, Uncle Luke and Missy (Layla was with us too but she was to busy sleeping to get in any pictures). And from our last night when we with Mary and her family to the beach to listen to live music. I think you can tell how much Maggie loved being with her cousins. Can’t wait to do it again!
Sunday we went to the parade and watched Fireworks from our front lawn- we will share those pictures after the 4th, because I’m sure there will be more. Justin has time off this week so hopefully we can do some more unpacking and organizing.
Playing on the Beach!
The girls and I are in New York for Luke’s HS Graduation. We have been having a great time. We got to see Luke off to the Prom, spent the day at the beach with all the cousins and Graduation was Saturday. The girls have been doing awesome with all the excitement and travelling. We are here until Saturday and now plan on just relaxing and hanging out with family. I think everyone is enjoying Maggie and seeing how much she has changed since last year. Enjoy the pictures and I’m sure there will be many more before we are back in WI.
Enjoying Watermelon!
Thought we would share a few more pictures from Maggies Birthday. She really enjoyed her Watermelon, the white dress will never be the same.
There are also some pictures from a park near our house- as the kids call it “Castle Park” it is really called FT Cushing, Maggie loved it and has been asking everyday to go see the Castle.
I had some problems organizing these pictures into the correct set, so if you go to the Ft Cushing Set you will see all the new ones, I believe they are also under the Birthday Set.
Maggie’s 2nd Birthday!
Well it has been a busy day and our 2 year old is sleeping soundly. We started our day early and went to the park before Daddy and Layla were even up. Then came back and opened some presents. Tonight we went to the gym and the Team sang to Maggie, it was definitely a bit overwhelming for her at first. You can see she started to cry in one picture but of course quickly recovered. It did not take long for her to start showing off. Everybody seemed to enjoy Maggie’s cake!
Thanks to everyone for calling today, I know we did not get to talk to you all but Maggie was ready for bed after the gym. We will not tell her that her birthday only lasts one day so she will be just as excited tomorrow.
