Maggie has been smiling lots - but they were unexpected, this week the smiles are more predictable and I was able to capture one on film - she really has a huge smile and although she had smiled and laughed big for other people - for me all i was getting was the "I want boob" face. Today was my day for smiles - and I loved it - i adore babies growing up. Lots of people say they love the tiny baby stage - but I totally love it when they actually do things, and smiling is the first sign that my last little baby is on her way to being her own independent person - and I love that.

Dear Christal & Brad,
It's Angela Wagner here,
I just want to say the hugest HELLO!!!

I know it has been so long since I have been in contact with you, I had lost your details which I was upset about, and then today, I came accross the last letter that you sent me in England and I just had to get in touch with you!!

Congratulations on the arrival of little Maggie Grace, she is absolutely beautiful!! And Wow, how cute is Jackson?! He is just gorgeous. You all look so happy and well. I am so delighted for you both.

I hope we can stay in contact, I would really love that. Where are you living? Do you have an email address I can contact you on?

I am now back in Brisbane, and I am currently living with my Mum and my Stepfather, Geoff. It's a blessing to be able to stay with them. They are great. My Mum says hello! She is very happy for you & Brad too and sends you her love.

I am still working as a nurse. I am working at the Wesley in an Oncology unit, and I have been really loving it.

It's so good to know you are doing great. I send you lots of love, and hope to be in touch again soon
xxxx
Love Angela

I stayed and moved into outpatient, then went to work for the Fed Gov as Information Manager for the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program which I loved. We are now in USA, have been for 2 years come Feb. Can't wait to chat!
