1. Maggie is taking a nap on my shoulder as I write this post. We are covered by the quilt I made her before birth when, alas, her gender was made known. The patio door is open and there is a cool breeze floating in just enough to make my toes cold and cower beneath the quilt.
2. It is Saturday, which means no one is rushing off to work. It is just the three of us without any plans besides just being. It's funny that I used to grow excited when I had "stuff" to do and now the thought of nothing to do is so comforting.
3. We just had a delightful breakfast of cheesey scrambled eggs, pancakes, and biscuits. On top of that, Brian did the dishes!
4. There is a 230 inch long banner in the basement with "Happy 1st Birthday Maggie" painted on it that I completed last night. I simply cannot wait for her big bash next Saturday. All of the people we love in one place = true happiness.
5. The air is cool enough for long pants and long sleeves today. Fall is finally upon us!! I become giddy this time of year, as Fall brings with it pumpkins, apples, cider, and all things natural and lovely. On top of that, I visited Marshall's yesterday and returned home with two fun finds!
6. Maggie is Maggie. I don't know how else to express this sentiment. She has made it through, hopefully, the toughest year of her life. 20 urinary tract infections, 4 hospitalizations, countless ER visits, major surgery. We can finally say that it is all behind us. She is a vivacious little girl with a great spirit and I can't wait to watch her flourish without pain.
7. I hope you enjoy this day as much as I will.
