Weekend in review

Well, we finally had a weekend where we didn't have anything going on... no traveling, no out-of-town guests, no social events of any kind. Not that we haven't enjoyed being "on the go" these past few weekends, but it was time for a break. After a low-key dinner with friends on Friday night, we hung around the house on Saturday and then ran some errands just to get out for a few hours. Sunday we went to church and listened to the guest speaker, Kirk Cameron. He has an awesome testimony. It was neat to see him go from an '80's teenage heartthrob to a Christian father of six kids under the age of twelve! After church we did some yard work and M hung out in her stroller. She eventually fell asleep holding onto Bunny. I hope your weekend was just as relaxing!


Posing for a rare shot with Mom.


Looking stylish in her red and animal print combo.


Little fashionista all ready for church. Her daddy thought she looked like a painter (he wasn't a fan of the beret). Annie thought she was like a cute little cupcake. I'm not sure what she looked like but I know she was precious, and got lots of attention at church :-)


Hanging out with Mom & Dad on the patio.


Too tired to stay awake any longer - taking a nap with Bunny.

Baby Dedication

We dedicated our little girl to the Lord at church last Sunday. It was such a special occasion, and we enjoyed being able to celebrate it with our family.


The church gave us this card - I love that it has the meaning of her name.

Uncle Matt & Aunt Kimberly came up on Saturday to hang out.

Dinner with friends

Last night we had dinner with our good friends the Tolivers. We went to a fun neighborhood Italian restaurant, and Mackenzie slept through a good portion of the meal so that we could eat and visit. She looked pretty cute in her new outfit, and you know I couldn't pass up a good photo opportunity!

Sweet Girl

For you created my inmost being;

you knit me together in my mother's womb.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

your works are wonderful,

I know that full well.
Psalm 139:13-14

Doing big girl stuff!

We've been busy around here... I suppose "busy" is a relative term, and it's probably way overused, but I'll go ahead and use it here because, after all, it's my blog, and I can write whatever I want :-) Due to aforementioned "busyness", I've been a blog slacker, so I wanted to go ahead and post some pictures of how we've been spending our time. Our weeks have been filled with - both Steven and I have been putting in extra hours. We've done a lot of traveling on the weekends. (I'll be posting Lubbock pictures later) During all of that, Mackenzie has been doing a bunch of big girl stuff. I can't believe how fast she's growing!

She's holding her head up really well:

She's started eating stage 1 baby foods:

And LOVES them:

Notice how she's trying to grab the spoon:
