Life's Little Blessings

About a week or two Maggie decided to figure out how to stand in her playpen. Now she is trying to stand up when she is out of her playpen and it looks like she walks to walk so badly. You can see the wheels in her turning. She wants to keep up with Eva. The first picture is what she looks like standing in her playpen. She is my shrimp. The other pictures are just close ups of her standing in it. She is geting way to big, I think when she turned 1 she chose to become a "BIG" girl. I want her to stay my little baby girl.

Maggie's first birthday party was a great success. I can not believe m little girl is 1 already. It seems just like yestreday she graced our family with her bright blues, her curly blonde hair and her warm smile. It is quite amazing how time flies by. I posted a few pictures from the party. There are a few of her eating her rainbow sherbet becasue she can't have cake due to her milk allergy. Here are some of the outfits that Maggie recieved as gifts for her birthday party. She also recieved some toys, a ton of religious books and 2 winter coats.

The Easter Holiday started with Good Friday. We started this year coloring Easter eggs on this day. Eva had so much fun coloring them and I loved watching her. Next year will be even better becasue Maggie will get to join the festivities. The girls loved the treats and gifts the Easter bunny had left for them on Easter. Eva's favorite thing was this chicken that you wind up and it poops out bubble gum eggs. Maggie just wanted the bos her gifts came in.

These are a few of Maggie's 1 year old pictures. I can't believe how big is has gotten and even more can't believe Eva will be 3 soon.

Here are a couple of pictures of Eva playing the paino and her drum set that she has. It is amazing how much she loves music. Whether it is playing it, dancing to it or singing; she is doing it. It is one of the many things that I enjoy in my life on a regular basis. My children are growing up faster and faster with each passing day. Today Eva decided that she doesn't need me to help her with putting on her pull-up or her clothes. Though she had everything on backwards she did put them on. Maggie is becoming more and more her own individual person. Her personality and everything is shining through everyday. Not liking them growing up as fast as they are, I want them to stay little. I can't believe that my little Maggie is going to be "1" on Monday. I remember like it was yestreday when I went into labor with her and had no clue that I was. I went to the hospital when they were 3 minutes apart and when I got there they told me I was 90 % efaced and 3 cenitmeters

It is amazing how time just flies by sometimes. I will be turning 28 this August and my oldest daughter Eva will turning 3. What is even more amazing in just a few days I will be celebrating my yougest daughter Maggie's birthday on the 13th of April and she will be turning 1. My husband Jim and I have been together for almost 5 years and will be celebrating 4 years of marriage this December. The three of them are my entire world. They make each day worth living. Now I have my real family members in my life again and I couldn't be happier. I was taken away from my mom when I was 3 1/2 and she was forced to give up her rights to me when I was 10 so that I could get adopted. Which had some good things that happened out of it but there were some bad things that occurred to in that situation as well. SO now they get to know my little girls and Jim, and I get to know my nieces and nephew. It is cool to think that I am an Aunt and that I get to a Godmother to my baby sister,
