Our Girl is Growing Up...

Mackenzie has officially completed a whole week at day care. The first day back to work for me came on the 3rd of August and it wasn't without a few tears from both Mom and Dad when we dropped her off that day. Each day gets easier and easier but it's still tough to miss the daily growth of our girl and not get to see her smiling face every minute of every day. Blake and I find ourselves rushing out of work to get home and try to enjoy the few hours we have with her before bedtime. It's still an emotional time but we are so thrilled with the day care choice and really are thankful that she is so loved there already.

She's really smiling, giggling and reaching for things so much more. Here's a little video clip of her in her exer-saucer. Happy 3 months Kenz!!

Kenzie and Her New Pal Dylan

Kenzie got to meet Dylan Lanham this last weekend when Matt and Jennifer brought him up from the Oregon coast for a visit. Kenz is very popular with the boys already but she was pretty enamored by Dylan. We had such a great time touring the Seattle Underground, playing with Lego's and but mostly enjoyed catching up with each other.

Friends, Beer, Burgers and Fun

August started out with a BANG, a visit from the Croft's and Gunnett's. Blake's best friends from grade school came to meet Mackenzie and had a blast doing so! With the Seattle heatwave in full force we did everything possible to stay cool. Walked Pike Place Market, had a picnic at Lincoln Park, a tour of Red Hook Brewery (technically Kenz's second visit... boozer), BBQ with the Fuller's and trip to the Ballard Locks where Blake and I were married two years ago.
