Happy Easter!

On this, Maggie's first Easter we celebrate that the "old has gone and the new has come" through Christ our Lord (2 Cor. 5:17) Happy Easter to you!

Dad Saves the Day

My Dad flew in to spend the week with us and help out.  He was awesome (under statement)!  He did probably 20 loads of laundry, vacuumed the house, did too many dishes to count, moved Maggie's crib up to our room and fixed our kitchen drawers by replacing the slides so they don't fall on our toes anymore.

We also discovered that Maggie is an "Elmo" lover.  

During one of his many trips to the grocery store he discovered these Elmo "eggs" and basket.

Maggie is completely enthralled.  She loves her Gramps and we do too!  Thank you Dad!!

Another Day at the Zoo

Maggie rode around in style

We visited the butterfly garden.  

They were happily landing on us.

Maggie likes bugs so far.  However, she is on tylenol #3 at this moment.

We visited the children's area where Maggie enjoyed walking in the wading pool.

Afterwards she was tuckered out and hopefully forgot a little about her pain.

When Toddlers Have Surgery

Maggie had her palate repaired April 6th.

Maggie's surgeon, Dr Peter Wang, he's from Shanghai.

Maggie hated the IV. The night spent in the hospital was a brutal one.

However, the next day we went home and pulled out toys we had held back from the shower.

Maggie especially loved the ball pit.  Thank goodness for the power of distraction!

She's moving too fast for me to capture.  This child was in the hospital 24hrs ago.
