Da Park

What would Spring be without playing on the swing at the Park? Well we don't have to ask ourselves that question because we went swinging! We also went on the slide, ran around in the grass, over all had a blast!

Apparently I am not as good at buckling Maggie in, as Andy is - now to his credit if Andy asks her to do almost anything She'll do it! Helping her keeps his little heart sweet - He's such a kind soul.

Science Museum Trip

We went to the Science Museum to see the Titanic Exhibition (Which was Amazing!! They had money, clothes, dishes, and part of the hull) There is a beautiful picture window that over looks the Mississippi River, just lovely to look out over the city, Andy wanted to pose with Maggie next to it-

There was a 40 minute movie before the exhibition that I thought would be very difficult for Maggie - But thanks to Uncle David and Uncle Andy she did very well!!

She was more interested in the fish than the Titanic but who cares she made it through 38 minutes of the movie :) It's the little things that really make this Myk happy!

Empty and Beautiful

This is Maggie's Favorite song. She falls asleep listening to it over and over again. It has become a staple on All my playlists for her. I am biased sense he is my friend and I personally love his music but This song is so 'beautiful' in the true sense of the word and the lines from the scripture of St. Timothy - I have fought the fought, I have finished the Race, I have kept the faith - remembering that and praying those words help me through my day and Mags too - I believe.

My past won't stop haunting me

In this prison there's a fight between

Who I am and who I used to be

This thorn in my side is a grace

For because of it the flesh and blood of God

Was offered in my place, my place

You fought the fight in me

You chased me down and finished the race

I was blind but now I see

Jesus You kept the faith in me

Where did my best friends go?

In my defense they disappeared

Just like Your friends did to You, oh Lord

But You were there, You gave me strength

So this little one might come to know

The glory of Your name, Your name

You fought the fight in me

You chased me down and finished the race

I was blind but now I see

Jesus You kept the faith in me

Awaiting, set apart like incense to Your heart

A libation I'm pouring out

Empty and beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

You fought the fight in me

You chased me down and finished the race

I was blind but now I see

Jesus You kept the faith in me

You fought the fight in me

You chased me down and finished the race

I was blind but now I see

Jesus You kept the faith in me

Jesus You kept the faith in me

Savior, You kept the faith in me

Check out this live video of Matt performing it - He sings with such humility and grace

Oilily Model

I know every parent thinks their child is 

the most beautiful, the smartest, the 'fill in the blank'...

And I know I'm biased but come on, Is this not one beautiful little girl?

With her snazzy fancy clothes and abundant hair it's no wonder everyone seems to be smitten with her - (And soon she will be a cover model for the Diocese Baptism article) 
These looks have to be credited to Granny Kelly - and her love of Oilily clothes and what about those shoes you ask yourself? Oh yes they are pink converse with princess ribbon laces and pink and silver rhinestones in the shape of a tiara on the toe :) 
And that hair - No Wig Ladies and Gentlemen ! It's just that pretty - most adult women would kill for volume and length like Maggie's. And don't forget that color!
