I suck at blogging!



Ok peeps, it's about time we join the blogging revolution. This is my third attempt at an entry with a picture, and I'm REALLLLLLY frustrated. However, I think I've finally sort of figured it out. Many thanks to my kind, smart friend Trixie for offering much help and teaching to me this afternoon. After seeing your cute blogs and pictures of your kids, I knew I had to be part of the fun. Due to my lateness in joining the party, this entry will be just a bunch of pictures. The world MUST see our pride and joy Maggie. So, I chose a few of my favorites from the last 5 months. Bear with me for this one, 'cause from here on out we'll be up to date and only have a picture or two to post with. Anywhozle, the above picture is of Mags in her super cute outfit given to her by our beloved friend Jenny Denton. Don't be jealous that she's so cute, she can't help it. hahahaha




This is just a REALLY happy Maggie moment. We cherish the big smile shots, 'cause she's a bit stingey with them. Also, note the clever bib...she HAD to wear one every moment of every day until she was 6 months old. She had a bit of a barfing problem. Thankfully, we're past that now.



This is my sweet Brooklyn...my sisters daughter. I've been watching her since she was 5 months old, and really, she's pretty much like my own. She is one spunky and hilarious child, you all should meet her.


Happy in her crib. This is her daddies way of babysitting her when he wants to play on the computer. Put her in the crib with a bunch of toys and hope for the best. Luckily this day she was amenable to the option.



Valentines day with my cute husband and the pretty ladies of our life. Ok, so Maggie wasn't exactly into the moment, but it's so cute of Brooklyn I couldn't help it.
Maggs is VERY fond of her bathtime. She splashes like a maniac, and smiles more than any other time.


I can't remember what this was for or where we were going, but all I'm saying is this dress is so freaking cute, and I don't look hideous, so you must go with those moments. Have I mentioned I love this kid? WOW!!
Maggs and her sweet little friend Livy, on their first real meeting/playtime together.

This is Maggie and her boyfriend/betrothed Nixon Wright. Aren't they going to make an adorable couple. hee hee

Cute little girl! Bryndee just came in while I was reading your blog and said "Hey that's my background!" She loves it when she finds blogs with her backgrounds being used. Can't wait to see and hear more about the Van Patten family!
