AGAIN with the snow
Well, yet again we'll be seeing snow. I can't believe all the freaking snow that has fallen since November. I love it! Too bad I'm not in school so that I can get all excited about a day off. Wait a minute...every day is a day off for me.

10 Months Old
Well, my little girl is 10 months old today. I can't believe it. Last year at this time I was stuffing my face....as big as a house....Oh wait, nothing's changed since last year. Ha Ha! Maggie gets sweeter by the day. Tommy says she sounds like some kind of tribesman because she is always shouting out these nonsensicle ramblings. "oooododododdddddooooooo........." I love them. They crack me up. You know what else cracks me up? When she farts. Am I always going to be laughing at her farts? For some reason, when this teeny tiny little butt unleashes this earth shattering rumble I just loose it.

Uh-Oh
I can't believe it's 2003. I know every year people always say, "Man, I can't believe it's 1997....1999.....2000...(fill in year here)." But, this time I'm sincere. I can't believe it's 2003. Maybe because 2002 was such a HUGE year for us. The move back home to VA, Tommy's fantastic new job, oh yeah, and the baby. And, now a new year begins. As I write this, Maggie is just 2 days shy of being 10 months old. She is crawling. She pulls herself up on *everything* all the time. Now she's getting brave and letting go to see how long she can stand. And the standing time gets longer and longer. No doubt she'll be walking soon. She has all 4 of her front teeth and I can see 2 more up top waiting to come down. She's been babbling "mamamam" and "dadadad" for a quite some time now, but I think now she's finally making the connection that they mean something and what they mean. She says, "Uh-oh" all the time too. It's so cute to hear her say it.

GOD - I'm almost the mother of a one year old. I still remember the Egg McMuffin I ate the Friday morning in July when I found out I was pregnant. Yep, guess we'll be sending her off to college soon. At least that's how my Mom makes it sound. "She'll be gone before you know it, Tara. Just like you were." Jesus, I feel like getting out my guitar and writing a country song sometimes when I'm done talking with my Mother. Anyway, there are some big events coming up for the Cahoon's. Tommy's Mom is having ANOTHER surgery on the ankle she broke a week before our wedding. That's next Wednesday. The day after Valentine's day Maggie is going to her first wedding. It's Tommy's cousin in VA Beach. Then, Maggie's first birthday in March. And then at the end of March, her first (and Mommy's first) airplane trip. We're flying out to Arizona to attend Tommy's pregnant little sister's wedding. I'm a little nervous about that one. Looks like this year is going to be just as eventful as the last.
