First Day of Spring!

We celebrated spring's arrival by having a picnic at the beach. It was Maggie's first time to put her fingers and toes in some sand (video link) and she did pretty well - no crying. . . although she never was quite sure what to make of the stuff. :-) I hope we can go back frequently and get her used to the beach. Maggie also got to try out a swing for the first time. . .

Veggietales!

This weekend our church hosted a Veggietales Premiere, complete with a visit from Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber. Here we are enjoying the day. . . what? You don't recognize me?

Learning to Walk

At 13 months old, Maggie is really starting to make progress. This weekend she has gotten much more comfortable with pushing around the walking toys we have. Click here to see a short video. I'm excited to see her progress - but a little nervous too . . . my little baby is growing up!

5th Anniversary

In February we took a trip to the beach to celebrate our 5th Anniversary. We stayed in a beautiful condo for 3 nights while Grandmother and Grandaddy stayed at our house with Maggie. I don't know what was my favorite part - the beautiful scenery, the great local seafood, or getting to sleep in for 3 mornings in a row!

We got to do some of our favorite things at the beach - Ben went with Heather to do some shopping. Heather went with Ben to the Naval Air Museum. We both enjoyed a trip to the zoo (ok, that was mostly for Heather) and a night of putt-putt. . . not to mention the fresh beignets every morning. Here, I am pictured with 2 baby camels at the Gulf Coast Zoo (the one featured on "the Little Zoo That Could" on the Animal Planet). Their names are Mac and Maggie. Of course I couldn't resist saying hi to Maggie.
