Arrrrrrr, Matey!

This week we had VBS at our church. The theme was "Pirates of the Mystery," and we had a great time. Mom watched Mackenzie each night so that I could help out in the craft room, and Matt was one of the big stars of the week. He played First Mate Tidbit in all the dramas, and the kids just thought he was hilarious. Last night we dressed up Kenz as a little pirate. She was adorable, of course. Today Mackenzie, Mom and I are flying out to Colorado. Matt is driving out in a week to visit, and then we will drive back. We are so excited! But Grandma, if you are reading this, we are really sad that you aren't coming. Maybe we can still figure out a way for you to get out this week! Anyway, we can't wait to see everybody, just pray for our flight...

Happy 6 Month Birthday, Mackenzie Faith! We Love You!

The Other Baby

I think Greyson likes having a baby around the house. He especially seems to enjoy her leftover sweet potatoes.

The Girls This Week

Catching Bubbles

Bubbles, bubbles, and more bubbles!

Rollin' Around

Kenz is starting to figure out that she can actually get somewhere by rolling. Yesterday she rolled three or four times until she ran into the chair. I can also somewhat confidently say that she is sleeping through the night - at least for now! We moved her crib into her room about a week ago, which helped a lot. The first night we let her fuss for a while, since she didn't seem to be really serious about it. The next night she woke up and was only up for about 15 minutes. Ever since then, she will wake up for a few minutes in the middle of the night, but can put herself back to sleep. It is wonderful! She is still enjoying her new foods, which now include rice cereal, sweet potatoes, and, as of tonight, avacados (much to her grandpa's disdain), although she is still more excited about her sippy cup than she is about the food.

Books, Sweet Potatoes, and Other Exciting Things

Top: Mackenzie enjoying her new book.

Middle: I think she likes sweet potatoes! We got the camera all ready for her first bite, thinking she would make a funny face, but all we got was a big grin! This is her first "real" food, aside from cereal.

Bottom: She is getting so strong that now when she is on her tummy she lifts up her chest and also pushes up her legs. We are just waiting for her to do both at the same time!
