My Big Girl

Last weekend was the Miss Helen's fashion show which is an annual event that is so much fun for the girls. Molly looked beautiful and very grown up in her pink dress. I have posted a couple of pictures of Miss Molly at the fashion show as well as my girl with her missing front teeth.

I have been meaning to take pictures of her with her missing teeth. She is very proud of the way she looks which is so sweet and is the only time in her life that she will be proud of having no front teeth. I never want to forget how she looked at this age of 7 with no teeth - so innocent and full of life. OMG how I cherish this little girl and how proud I am to be her mommy....

Random Photos - Keep Scrolling Down

Hi everyone, I just posted a few random photos of our girls at the zoo. They are so much fun and our life is so sweet. Hello to all our family over in Ireland. Nana Rosie, the girls send you lots of kisses as well as all their aunties, uncles and cousins. We cannot wait to see everyone later in the year.

UPDATES

Hi everyone, just a couple of updates. We are all doing well. Maggie recently had a bout with pneumonia which was really scary but she sailed through it with a heavy antibiotic and breathing treatments. We are all well and very busy with soccer, cheerleading, birthday parties, work - you name it and the Gilmartin family seems to do it. Maggie is happy, very attached to me, Paul and Molly. In fact, she loves Molly and hugs and kisses her on a regular basis. She is still a bit anxiously attached and does not like me out of her site for very long. She wants to be held constantly but I prefer that over the opposite. She is defintely a snuggler. Maggie is a jokester and a bit mischievious. She will smile at you and run the other way or turn her head when you are trying to feed her and then smile and take the food. She has a cute sense of humor. Her hair has gotten so so so long and that seems to be about the only thing growing. I think she is growing a bit taller but not much. I just think she is going to be very tiny. All that matters is she is healthy and extremely happy. I am posting a couple of pics. Molly recently went on a Daddy/Daughter date. Her daddy brought her some flowers and took her to the outback. She got all dressed up and had a blast. I have also posted a couple of pictures of Maggie - she is so precious...

Happy New Year!!!!!!

Well, I cannot believe it is 2010, I think 2009 was the quickest year I can remember in a long time. Paul officially started his career as a nurse in January, 2009 and we were pretty sure we would be matched with a baby this year but we did not know when. Then happily on 8/24/09, we were matched with the most adorable baby girl, Maggie and we traveled in October to pick her up. She has been with her new family for 2.5 months and it feels like she has been with us forever, we love her so. Our two girls, Molly and Maggie bring so many smiles to our faces every single day and we feel like the luckiest people in the world to be able to be their parents. We are excited to see what 2010 will bring to our family. Paul will be continuing his education and we are definitely going to Ireland so all the Gilmartins can meet Maggie and see Molly (long overdue). Maggie has started talking (Hi, Bye Bye, MaMa and DaDa). I feel like her talking is about to explode. Happy New Year everyone!!!!!!!!!!!
