364 days olds

I can’t believe our baby is going to be a year old tomorrow. It’s gone entirely too fast. I was remembering on this very day last year how the labor had started and Josie inadvertently locked me out of the house in the cold and it was snowing. I waited outside the front door talking to her through the glass knowing Dad was headed back home to rescue me. I remember watching the weather reports of the snow storm extending from New Mexico up to the east coast with 24 inches of snow to deliver and feeling fortunate it was just missing Minnesota. Late afternoon I knew it wouldn’t be long until we would meet our third beautiful daughter. Happy soon-to-be birthday, Rosie Sparkles.

Important side-note for the Tooth Fairy

Josie has pointed out to me a few times that her “sweet tooth” is none other than her very own top front tooth. Thought you’d want to know for a couple of years down the road.

Dear Tooth Fairy

We’ll be seeing you again tonight, sweet magical Tooth Fairy. After bathtime this evening Mom wiggled out Maia’s second bottom front tooth (it too was dangling out of her mouth much like the first one). It’s now tucked safely in her tooth fairy pillow waiting for you later...

Tubing buddies

Snow tubing with Dad

 
  
Dad and Josie watched as Maia tubed down the slopes at Wirth Winter Recreation park  on Saturday. The plan was for Josie to join Dad on his tube, but they ended up as spectactors since the rules only allow four year olds on tubes. Oh well. It was Josie’s first time out to watch and learn how tubing works, throw a few snowballs and enjoy an adventure with big sister and Dad.
