The Spread!

Aimee was pretty happy with how everything came together for Maggie's First Birthday. The presents were wrapped about three days in advance and placed on display on the kitchen counter....Maggie could not see them and all I heard for those three days was....isnt that paper just wonderful.....in fact let me please transcribe one of our marital pre-party conversations. Aimee:"that wrapping paper is wonderful!", Scott:"yes, it is wonderful. By the way, did you wrap those gifts on our bed?" Aimee: "yep", Scott: "on my side of the bed?", Aimee: "yep", Scott:"you know the dots on the wrapping paper are made up of glitter ?" Aimee: "yep", Scott: "you know that my side of the bed was covered in glitter last night.....I woke up with glitter all on my face" Aimee: "yeah, that wrapping paper is wonderful" :)

ONE!!!!!

Our baby girl is 1!! Hard to believe, but little Maggie turned one on Monday. She enjoyed her cake and friends who came over to wish her well.

NOT Mississippi!

Consulting trip up to Minnesota....-20 degrees and plenty of snow. I have developed the habit of taking pictures of all my trips as I have found it the best way to show Jack what I do for a living. People must think I am a complete geek as I take pictures of all the airplanes, and places I go. The best is footage of me cleaning the snow off of the rental car at 5:00am....brush/scraper in one hand and camera in the other...one very confused looking taxi driver in the car next to mine. Jack liked it though...

Makin Cookies!

Jack has become quite the little chef!

one very excited 11 month old too

finished build!

8 hours over 5 days....one very excited 4 year old boy!

the build!

So it has been a while!

Yes! I decided that enough time has passed and enough stuff has happened to actually update the blog! Speaking of passing, life is traipsing on by at a ridiculous rate. Aimee and I found time to stop and rest the other night only to realize that Christmas was two months ago and our baby will no longer be a baby in less than 30 days! WOW! During the past 5 months or so, we have experienced Maggie enduring 5 ear infections (which mean no regularly schedule baby sleeping), Jack growing so fast he is complaining of growing pains, Maggie getting tubes inserted, recovery....everyone healthy (for once in 1/2 a year), 4 nights in a row with no one waking up in pain or discomfort (WOO HOO!!!)...Maggie loves to climb and climb and we are completely amazed at just how different a child she is from Jack. whew! Anywho... here are a few pics to bring everyone up to speed (including the little project inte back yard!).
