Maggie is turning 10 years old today.
I can easily remember what I was doing 10 years ago....laid up in the hospital with pancreatitis praying something would take it away and that I wouldn't die!!
And later that day my firstborn baby came into the world and I never thought again about how sick I had been....(once I woke up from passing out that is, lol)
Although 10 years have gone by fast...I don't have to wonder..."where have the years gone"
I know exactly where they have gone and I remember almost each and every moment of this girls life. I have cherished and enjoyed her fully....every bit of her.
She came into this world as quite possibly the most desired baby ever born. :)
I had dreamed, desired, prayed, wished, to be a mommy since I could walk.....and the day Maggie was born the desire of my heart came true.
She has been the same delight her entire 10 years as she was that day she was born.
I call her my little Mary Poppins...."practically perfect in every way." And although I know she isn't perfect.....she is about as close as they come.
Maggie is an amazing big sister to her siblings, and they all adore her.
She is always willing to offer a hand and help out
Maggie is so very practical and down to earth....drama exhausts her. :)
She loves to read and is an excellent student.
Maggie asks one million questions and wants a full detailed answer
She loves Jesus....and has a deep desire to know Him and understand Him so much more (which is where so many of her questions come in)
She has a short list on her menu of food items she will eat. But I am pretty sure she will be my "green smoothie" kid as she gets older. After I purchased some sprout bread a few weeks ago (which I thought was nasty) I had been making the kids sandwiches on it for lunch. After a week or so she asked if I was using a new bread and I said that yes I was. She said, "I love it, is tastes so much better." And if she knows a food is healthy...she finds that reason enough to eat it.
She complains very little and always tries to find the good point of a situation.
She as no desire to wear anything from Justice and has no clue why anyone would want to wear clothes with sparkles, bling, or peace signs on it. :) Which makes me one happy mom.
She always gives 110 %.
But if her 110 % isn't perfect she is ready to move on.
Maggie is funny and goofy....and has alot of her dad's sense of humor.
And is a total joy to our whole family.
We love Maggie so very much and want her to always know how much she is loved and treasured and I pray we show her and tell her often!
Happy 10th birthday Maggie Mae!
while taking pics of Maggie she wanted to take a few without her glasses....we liked them with her glasses so much more...Just looks more like Maggie. :)
