We have been so busy this year! Amy started working full time in January at the University as a ventricular assist device coordinator, a great opportunity she could not pass up. Magnolia started daycare a few times a week. It was a little hard to get used to at first, but now she loves it, and has a blast there! Hal contunies teaching respiratory students and working at the UW, so our plate is extra full! We took our snowboard honeymoon in February to beautiful Mt Bachelor and had such a great time. Here are some pictures of Nolie (as she has dubbed herself). She is becoming so grown up, and tells us daily that she is a 'big girl now'. There are some tea party pictures, with Hal at Ballard farmer's market, eating a mini cupcake from cupcake royale (yum), with Erin and baby Isla, and getting ready to slide. Also a short video of the climb up to the slide.
I'm loving my new role as a mother, even if it is difficult sometimes. Trying to balance social life, work and this great family life gets a little hard. Someone asked me what our activities are, and I drew a blank. It seems Maggie, Hal and I are busy everyday. But I would have to look at the calendar to tell you what we were actually doing.
