Thankful.
Oh so very thankful.

Exciting News

For those of you who do not know my family has some exciting news to share. My brother and precious sister in law are expecting TRIPLETS! Yeah you read that right triplets. We are beyond thrilled for them and I am SO excited to be an aunt to three precious babies. She is 13 1/2 weeks and doing really well. Please add them to your prayers as they need to get here as healthy as possible. We are praying that they are not born before April because the longer they are in the better! You can click on The Whitmire Family on my blog list and follow along with us during this journey. Thanks!

Half Marathon!!

This past weekend, my sweet friend and running buddy, Kelly and I ran in the Rock'n'Roll Half Marathon in San Antonio. I still cannot believe that I did it! It is something that has been on my "to do" list for quite some time. I am so thankful that Kelly stuck with me and we trained and accomplished this together. She is such a precious friend and encouragment to me all of the time! Danny and her husband Ronnie were our biggest fans and were sweet to trek all over downtown San Antonio to get pictures of us. It was quite difficult due to the fact that there were 30,000 runners. But they did it and I am so glad. Here are some pictures from the race.

31 years and 20 months old

On October 22, I turned 31 and Maggie turned 20 months. I cannot believe that my baby girl is almost 2! She is talking all of the time and the weird thing is we can understand pretty much all that she says. It amazes me! She loves to be outside and really loves the park.....especially the slide. I think that she could go up and down any slide all day. Maggie is in love with Danny. All day long she says "daddy home soon" and when she hears his keys in the door, her eyes light up and she says "daddy" and runs to the door. It melts my heart everyday. She loves play-dough, singing her abc's, watching Blues Clues, eating apples, oatmeal, yogurt, cereal, cheese and ham. For my birthday, I got a new camera and I am loving taking pictures of Maggie. Here are some that I took last week.

MIA

Sorry that I have not blogged in awhile. Time has flow by! Life has been great and super busy chasing an 18 month old! We have had a great August. We traveled to Crested Butte, CO at the first of the month with my family and had a fabulous time. We have also been to the pool a lot. Maggie loves to jump in and go up and down the steps. Steps are somthing that she is obsessed with. She loves to go up and down and up down. Who needs toys when we have steps? Maggie is also talking more and more. She is talking in 2 and 3 word sentences which amazes me! I am loving watch her learn new things all of the time. She also loves to color...and for us to draw and "m". I am proud to say she knows 4 letters too! Maggie continues to be the light of our lives! Here are a lot of random but fun pictures from this month! Enjoy!

Crested Butte 2009

We took a fabulous trip to Crested Butte, Co last week with my family. We had such a fun time being in the cooler weather, hiking, fishing, spending time with family, enjoying God's creation, celebrating my mom's birthday, shopping, playing at the park and cooking great meals. Danny and I were so busy keeping up with Maggie that we had to rely on my dad and brother for pictures. Here is a glimpse of our trip. I will post more as I get them!
