Our little butter bean-7 weeks

We went and had our first ultrasound today. We got to see our third little love!! Yes, there is only one. :o) Everything looks great. I am still pretty early - 7 weeks, but the size measured good, and the heartbeat was so sweet to hear! Even after 2 babies, Conn and I still tear up when we hear it and see it beat on screen. Here are a couple of pics.

Beautiful Day

Conn comes home for lunch most days (one of the many reasons we moved back to The Woodlands), and it was so gorgeous outside, that we decided to have a little picnic in our backyard. :o)

This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalms 118:24

Happy 2nd Birthday, Sweet Maggie Mae

Happy 2nd Birthday Maggie Mae!! We can't believe you're already 2 years old! It really doesn't seem like it has been 2 years since you were born. Time sure has flown by. We love you so much! You have already taught us so much about ourselves and life in general. We thank God for you everyday- - seriously. When you give us that little "smirk" that you have, we just melt. We are so blessed to have you in our lives. We pray that you will come to know the Lord and follow after Him. We pray that we are raising you in a way that will cause you to have a healthy image of yourself. We pray that you will also be tender-hearted towards people and love them as Christ does. Those are the values that we care about, and we are doing our best to help you live out those things. We can't wait to see what kind of young woman you turn out to be. We know that this year is going to be a great one. Think about it... you get to be a big sister now. How fun is that going to be?!

Love you crazy, Maggie!
