Magnolia's 2013

2013 was certainly a big year for Magnolia. 

Those lingering signs of my baby disappeared...and I watched her grow into a girl...a beautiful, smart, creative and passionate girl.

Magnolia made huge strides in the last year...a friend summed it up the other day with...

"Remember the Maggie who hid behind you, and wouldn't ever speak?"

She certainly is not that Maggie anymore. She has found her "brave" as we call it. She loves to visit with new people, she loves to do things on her own, she loves that she is, well...growing up!

Ahhh Summer! And nothing is better than a summer vacation with your "sparkly" Auntie Hailey...who has all-night slumber parties with you and promises that next time..."we'll get your ears pierced!"

Maggie (and River) lucked out with one of the best summers ever with their beloved nanny, Molly.
Molly filled their days with lemonade stands, castle construction, trips to the library, flower picking and more!

Kindergarten!
(I suppose I've touched on this one enough;)

And of course, another magical December evening with Mommy at the Nutcracker Ballet.

Magnolia wishes everyone...

"A happy new year filled with love...and friends!"
