Maggie's 2nd Birthday!!

Maggie turned 2 in February, time flies when you are having fun I guess!



ELMO!!! Maggie loves Elmo, so I made her an Elmo cake. Even after the cake was long-gone, we would ask her what she wanted to eat and she would answer "Elmo cake!"

February 2010....

SNOW!!! Part 2! This time it snowed 6 inches at our house. We had so much fun making snowmen and playing. Maggie had a blast, she was very disappointed when it melted the next day!

Welcome 2010!

Maggie and Daddy

We learned that we can no longer let Maggie hold on to the powder after bathtime, this picture was taken after the powder cloud had diminished and we were able to breathe again!



Reading the paper while sipping on her morning milk and enjoying a nice warm bowl of oatmeal...

SNOW!!!!

I thought that last year's snow outfit would still fit, but I was wrong! Oh well, she still looked cute and had fun in the dusting on the porch.

Getting ready for Christmas!! This year we decided to get a real tree, I LOVED it!

Myrtle Beach, SC

In October we traveled to Myrtle Beach, SC with my parents. We were expecting warm temperatures, long walks on the beach and some fun in the sun. We got cold weather, very brief walks on the beach because it was so cold and hardly any sun! Again, like the camping trip in September, we managed to have fun! We went to the "Boardwalk" and fed some really big (and slightly gross looking) carp, Maggie got to take a ride on a train and carousel, and we enjoyed a break from the rain.




Very BIG and very hungry carp. There were thousands of them in this lake in the middle of the shopping area. I guess people constantly feed them so that explains why they are so big.

We went to Ripley's Aquarium, which was really nice. Doesn't compare to the GA Aquarium, but it was a really fun outing.

Maggie did not want to be in her stroller, hence the arching of her back and angry face.

This was a really cool exhibit. You could climb under this tank full of puffer fish, stand up, and be eye-level with the fish. Sounds cool in theory (and in pictures), but I almost had a panic attack due to claustrophobia and lack of oxygen. They should really think about a way to pump air up through the hole!

There is an ice cream shop in Myrtle Beach called Maggie Moo's! Maggie Moo is a nickname for Maggie, so of course we had to go there for a little treat.

The Great September Camping Trip!

For our 2nd wedding anniversary, we decided to rent a camper and spend a few days on Lake Lanier. The weather was awful, in fact, it was the weekend metro Atlanta had all of the flooding! We still managed to have fun. The campsite was really nice, we chose to stay at Bald Ridge on Lake Lanier and we rented the camper from RV World in Buford. The first night we were there, Maggie was running in the camper and ran full steam ahead into a door. She fell backwards and instantly had a HUGE blue knot on her forehead. Within 15 minutes she was playing again, but we kept a close watch over her. The VERY next day, she fell down the steps and skinned her nose and her forehead!!! She looked kind of rough, but all in all I think she had a super time!
