Happy St. Patricks Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day! We enjoyed a wonderful day at church and then found out that my brother-in-law proposed to his fiance. Looks like we will be making a trip to Colorado for a wedding sometime soon. Maggie got to wear her St. Patrick's Day outfit that I made for her. She looked so cute I could just pinch her...even though she was wearing green. :)

I had a onsie left over from a baby shower and I just added the shamrock pattern and stitched it onto the onsie. I was then in the process of making a separate green tutu, but thought it would look better if I just stitched the tulle to the onsie. I then used left over fabric from the shamrock and tulle to make the matching bow.

Finally HAPPY!

Gotta love this face! And believe it or not, she hasn't always looked this happy. She cried for like...oh, 5 months. And I was telling my boss at Sylvan about how fussy she was and she told me that she had colic and her mom said one day she just stopped crying out of the blue. And wouldn't you know...three days later, Maggie stopped crying.

Oh glorious day!

She smiles more, she laughs, she is all together pleasant to be around. And I am one HAPPY momma!!  No seriously...I am much happier now.

Being a mommy definitely has it's challenges- and I am only 8 months into it. But I am looking forward to all the joys, challenges, and pretty much everything that comes with being a mommy. (Of course we are praying for more joys than challenges- ha).

Mountain Life

We had a wonderful time in Gatlinburg, Tennessee with my mother-in-law and William's grandpa. Maggie got to spend a lot of time with her Memaw and she loved all the attention! It snowed one day and then was 50 and beautiful the next day. The weather is as crazy there as it is here in Virginia. 

I started sewing some burp cloths on the trip- my first ones, and I didn't do a very good job. But always bringing the craft stuff along!
