I Heart Glasses

Ever since neighbor Colby has started wearing his glasses again, Maggie has been obsessed with glasses and has begged for a pair. (May have something to do with the fact that Colby is pretty precious in his glasses!) Well, her wish came true today. She got a sweet Valentine's package in the mail with not one, but FOUR pairs of glasses. She has been wearing one pair and carrying at least one more pair around all night. Here's a picture of Miss Mags in a pair of her new glasses.

Playground Trip

We took a fun trip to the playground today with Jessica and Lane. The kids were so happy to be outside (Mommy was, too)! I took the camera with hopes of getting Miller and Lane in some pictures together, but those two won't stay still long enough at the same time to take a picture. Maybe when they're a little older we can document their early friendship days via photograph. :-) Hope everyone is having a great Groundhog Day!

No Sugar Bugs!

Maggie went for her second dental check-up today (first one was this past summer), and she didn't have any "sugar bugs" (cavities)! I'm not surprised. Girl is pretty obsessed with brushing her teeth. :-) The appointment was SO quick. We got there at 9:50 and were walking out the door at 10:06. Maggie has had two very positive dental check-up experiences, and I am so thankful that she LIKES to go to the dentist. My sweet friend Becky kept Miller this morning, but he'll get to go with us next time for his first check-up. He's got a mouthful of teeth! When Maggie was his age, she had half as many teeth as he does. Okay, enough blogging about teeth. Good day. No sugar bugs. Until next time...

Happy Friday!

It's been a good day around here! To top it all off, our sweet neighbors Scott and Margaret left a dozen Shipley donuts in my car this afternoon to surprise us. We enjoyed them very much (yes, all twelve), and as you can see in the following pictures, the kids have had PLENTY of sugar tonight. :-)

Digital Scrapbooking

So, we've decided to start a digital scrapbook for Maggie and Miller to keep track of their sweet baby days. I am VERY NEW at this (like, just downloaded the software tonight), but the pages will get cuter as they go on. I started with Maggie since she's older, and when I catch up on hers, I'll begin Miller's. Here's a look at the first page of Maggie's scrapbook. Keep in mind...I WILL get better at this!

Silly Monkeys

Just a quick post...While I was changing the sheets on Miller's bed today, I heard lots of giggles and commotion. I located the source...

Lately...

It has been a while since our last post! Everything is sailing smoothly (and TOO quickly) here around the Norris house. We had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed Jeff being home from school for a couple of weeks! Miller is growing SO fast and reminds me more of a little boy and less of a baby every day (but he is still my baby!). He has so many words now, and it is hilarious to hear him use them. He still loves to give hugs and kisses, and he hands them out to us all day. SO sweet. Maggie is a sweet but sassy little girl (wouldn't have it any other way!) and keeps us constantly laughing. I have to say that the highlight of last week for me was one night when I was putting her to bed, and she told me that Jesus lives in her heart. She then continued to say that Jesus also lives in my heart, and in Daddy's heart, and sometimes in Miller's heart. We'll have to work on that one. ;-)

Above is a picture of us eating with the neighbors on New Year's Eve. We are blessed to have the best neighbors. Our house was on the market for a while, and we almost sold it and moved (deal fell through), but we are NOT disappointed to hang around a while longer with our sweet friends here in the neighborhood. Everything will work out in God's timing, and He has blessed us incredibly.

We're off to have a great day! I am so happy and blessed to get to spend it with my children. This is the day that the LORD has made...
