Happy Birthday Miles!

I can't believe that four years ago... almost to the minute (1045 pm) we welcomed our first born into the world. It has been an amazing 4 years with lots of ups and downs but I could not imagine life without Miles. He is the sweetest most loving kid, but shows his whiny side often. He loves cars still but has taken quite an interest in Legos and star wars (like father, like son). He is the best big brother any sibling could ask for. He loves Ann Margret and Nelson so much and is such a big help to mommy around the house when I am dealing with the "babies".

I am so glad God chose us to be his parents and am excited to see what this year holds. I hope its less whining and more cleaning... hey, I can hope, right?

Hi, its been awhile/ 2011 in review!

Well, busy life seems to have caught up to me, by evidence of my neglect to this blog. A lot has happened since you last heard from me. All will be seen in my 2011 in review below. Some of the days that I thought would be the most significant came and went without notice and others were definitely the center of attention. December 1st of 2010 was a devastating day to our family. I thought that every year it would be a depressing reminder of Ann Margret's diagnosis. This year, it went without notice. I am so thankful that my life is so full of joy and chaos that I don't have time to notice the anniversary of one of the most horrible days of my life. No one wants to hear that their child isn't "normal". Ann Margret is far from "normal," she is far from "ordinary," she is the most loving, funny, and beautiful little girl I know. I am so thankful that God saw fit to give us this little blessing. She has helped us grow as a family and love one another more fully but most importantly she has taught us to rely more on and hold fast to Jesus. She is amazing.

2011 has been one busy year for the Bagley household and I am excited to share this year with you in photos. ENJOY...

January! Miles turned 3. He had a lightening mcqueen party with a few of the family at home. It was great. He also got to celebrate with his preschool class.

February we dedicated Ann Margret at church. We had fun celebrating with family.

March, we visited the zoo for the first time. Miles loved it and ask all the time when we are going back.

April we celebrated easter! Miles got to go on an easter egg hunt with his class at school. Although, I didn't get any pictures.

May, we took miles bowling for the first time.

June, we had family vacation in the mountains and miles went to his first braves game.

Most of the rest of the summer is a blur.

August, miles started 3 y/o preschool.

September we got to attend our first PWS picnic... it is great to be around people who get what you are going through.

October was a busy month. We went to the fair and also celebrated AM's 1st birthday!

We also celebrated halloween and dressed up like a power ranger and a pumpkin.

November was quite eventful due to the fact we welcome the newest member of our family on Thanksgiving day... Nelson James Bagley

I have only loaded the photos I have on one of my cameras so here is what I have...

Finally in December we had lots of fun celebrating Jesus' birth with lots of Christmas activities.

I hope you enjoyed sharing our year. I'm sorry I have been absent for the last 8 months but I hope to post more regularly now that I am getting into a routine. Hope you all have had a great 2011 and that you are blessed with an awesome 2012.

Long Time No Post!

It has been too long. A lot has been going on which explains my absence. I hope to update on everything that has been happening within the next few days (with pictures).
