Best Wishes for 2008!!

Here's Maegan in her Dora Mermaid ball pit. She loves it. If you can't find something, chances are she has it stashed in here.
Our wishes for 2008 is for health, happiness and what could make us happier than another Guatemalan baby!! I truly hope and pray that the powers that be will find a Hague compliant and well organized adoption program with the baby's benefits and well-being top priority!

Holiday catch-up

Maegan & I blowing out my birthday candles. Like my pajamas? After 21, there isn't anything to get excited over.
Maegan & Daddy checking out how our house is coming along. I was warned it always looks small at first, but I'm starting to freak out a bit!

Maegan's favorite movie star....Donkey!! Santa left him in her stocking.


Showing off her loot to Wayland, who is sitting to the left with his hands clinched because he only sees 4 presents for him and they are small.

Oops, coal in gift #1

AGH! coal in #2 with a tootbrush for his rude mouth! He knows he's done it now since the other two are from us! Yeah right, Nanny's boy got what he wanted!! It was fun watching him sweat it out though!


Maegan checking out the buttons on her Dora trike from Freda.

Maegan supervising the construction of her trike.


CHOW TIME!!

Notice what is on this girl's plate.....rice, beans and brisket! I had to work, but her Daddy said she pigged out!

At the end of a long hard day of playing!
Maegan's babysitter sent us this link http://www.elfyourself.com/?id=1768847632

Poppy babysits!!

Last time my Dad babysat is when he changed his first poopy diaper and she was dressed in that oversized t-shirt. Today Joel, my Mom and I had somewhere to be so Dad stayed home to watch Maegan. This is what we came home to after about 2 1/2 hours!
They must've played hard!

Photo catch up.

Here's Maegan today at her Christmas party at daycare checking out her gift.
Sorry, a little out of order.....opening her gift.

For those Guatemamas, doesn't this look like a foster mom surprise visit pic?


Maegan eating a lime! Even after this face she went back for another bite.

Look how long her hair is getting!


Dancing to her Christmas music.

This morning before going to Rhonda's.

She LOVES dancing!! Last night she slept in sponge rollers so she's look prettier than usual for her party. Only 1 fell out.

This used to be my nephew Wayland's t-shirt. Click on the pic to make it bigger to see the writing in light blue.

Mom has a train around her tree and it derailed when it made the curve.

Showing her pearly whites again.

Thank you.....

to each and every one of you who added to this Christmas collection of Maegan's. Really! We have, Have a Holly Jolly Christmas by the Polar Bear, Grandma Got Ran Over by the Reindeer( the hydro jeep) several Christmas songs barked by the dog, Frosty the Snowman, the most annoying Fraggle Rock song, and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. What's even better? She loves to have them all going at the same time. Sometimes she adds in Backpack and Adventure Pack too! What loving friends and family we are blessed with

It's been awhile

Maegan was playing with her infant carrier while we were moving.


Wayland's ridiculous hair! I can't stand it. You can't even see his eyes half the time.

Maegan is really talking now. She loves watching the old Frosty and Rudolph. Her sitter has a blow-up Santa in front of her house. As soon as she sees it she starts saying Santa,Santa, and cries when we leave. She has the cutest Texas accent! When she says Barbie it sounds more like Bobby.

Countdown to Christmas!!

Hi, this is my Christmas outfit!!
Maegan practically jumping out of the car to go to the parade.

Mommy & Maegan


Maegan starting doing the highstep jumping when she saw the horses coming!


UGH! After 32 attempts of pics for a Christmas card this is where we are........ Colgate poster girl


Maegan plays so pretty by herself

All night long, Mason(my friend's son) was sporting the Tom Cruise, Risky Business attire. Reese can't read, but she makes up the best stories to go with the pictures!

Mindy & Maegan. We finally decided to un-hermit ourselves and socialize for once.


6 gazillion toys and they all are interested in the same one!

Maegan LOVES snowmen. She was in heaven.
Last weekend of pooping in the potty was a once in a lifetime thing. She hasn't done it since!! She has started saying Joel instead of DaDa, which drives him bananas. She loves Santa until he gets too close, then it is freak out time.
Check out findlisastebic.com for the latest on this missing Chicago Mom. This is a fellow Guatemama's friend's sister. It would mean so much to give this family answers. This weekend they are teaming up to search for Lisa Stebic and Stacy Peterson.

More snow!!

As soon as Maegan saw that it was snowing again, she wanted to go out. Bundled up like Randy on Christmas Story she was off to play.
She liked slapping it off the flowers.

Ker-plunk!! This is her whattheheck face.






Lookin like a vato with her low hat.

Brrrr




Joel took Maegan outside to see the snow. She didn't like it because it was cold. Since it's been so cold we've been inside a lot and Maegan decided herself that this would be a good time to potty train herself. For the last week, she has been telling us when she is going or done and bringing us a diaper. It has been 3 glorious days since I've had to change a poopie diaper! She is having a hard time determining when she has to pee and once she starts she can't stop. After literally 15 trips to the potty last night she did pee in it and loved that it played music when she went. We are really proud of her! She hates her diaper and constantly tries to take it off, so maybe this will be easy for her.
