Almost There...

For those of you that have held our little Maggie, you know that she is sqirmy and moving all of the time... never stops. So, I have been very patiently waiting for Maggie to start crawling... so patiently in fact that I haven't really been encouraging it. I know the joy that I currently have in knowing that I can plop her down and go to the bathroom, or leave the room briefly and not have to worry about where she is. As soon as she's able to move, I know I will have a little shadow everywhere I go, and that all privacy will be taken from me! This time, however, is coming to an end, as Maggie is very quickly catching on to crawling and will be moving around everywhere. Mental note: begin babyproofing. Of course it will be a wonderful milestone once she begins crawling. Mom says I'll find things that I thought were lost forever (translation: Maggie will get into those nooks and crannies that are impossible to clean and who knows what will show up).

Baby Dedication

Our church held its semi-annual baby dedication on Sunday, where all of the new babies born since June are called to front and a special prayer is said for them. This time, there were six new babies: Maggie, Drew (Maggie's cousin), Charlotte (Maggie's second cousin... I think... James and Charlotte's dad are cousins... how does that work?!), Aubrey, Andrea, and Caden. Maggie will have lots of friends growing up!


Jordan, Kari, and Drew... just a snoozin' away... or maybe he's still praying

Sunday School




For the past three weeks, Maggie has been going to Sunday School. I enjoyed having her with me during class up until about two months ago, when she just got too squirmy and distracting for me... and probably so many others. So, after Christmas it was time to turn a new page and put her in class. I have to admit, I was a little sad as I walked down the hallway after leaving her, but I knew she was in good hands and that the interaction and learning would be good for her. She seems to love it, and I love knowing that she is learning about God.

Very curious
