Going Viral

The Wally Spot has been know to my immediate family for a very long time, but for those of you who may not be aware here is a short description. Whenever my dad would pull into a crowded parking lot he always seemed to get that one spot right by the door. No matter how crowded the lot, he always got a good spot. It happened so often we started calling it a Wally Spot. It's been a lot of fun to see the 'Wally Spot' page on FB grow and see people post their own stories about getting a Wally Spot.

So this holiday season as you're doing that last minute shopping and you get that great spot, take a look up to the heavens and say 'thanks' because you just got a Wally Spot!

Here is a photo of a Wally Spot John got at Starbucks, during rush hour. As John said to me "Is it any wonder they're together!"

Peace. Joy. Love.

Our blog has been 'Out of Service' for some time now, but with the new year comes resolutions. So, we have resurrected our blog to facilitate our resolution to keep family close. We hope this will keep people better updated on the comings and goings of our little social butterfly.

Here's a quick wrap-up of all that Maggie has been up to:
-Talking, talking, talking! She repeats absolutely everything, but my favorite things she says are: please and thank you. I've never known a 17 month old to use those words so often and appropriately.
- Walking. She's been doing this since a little before her 1st birthday, but now she's really mastered it. She's working on climbing next.
- Family. Maggie loves looking at pictures of friends and family. She knows so many of her cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents and friends by name. She loves pointing out people in pictures.
- Loss. Unfortunately at only 17 months old Maggie has already experienced the loss of two grandparents. We're grateful that she is too young to understand and that her smile gets us through each day.
