generations live on

My grandparents cousins have been wonderful to our little family and I am so grateful for our relationship. They love and adore Mackenzie and soon our little boy. We all look forward to the times that our family gets to be together with our cousins. Mackenzie and Lila have a special bond as much as my grandma and I had. I'm thankful that Mackenzie gets this brief glimpse into that side of our family. On this day, Mackenzie was given Lila's precious lamb and doll collection to play with, and a special blanket. A blanket that my grandmother made, a blanket that Mackenzie now loves and plays with every day.

Bunnies and Eggs... oh my!

Easter traditions have started... and this Jewish girl LOVES it! Mackenzie woke up on Easter Sunday with a note from the bunny. A scavenger hunt began... off she went one place to another until she found the big basket!! In the afternoon we ventured over to the Castagno's for Easter dinner and the egg hunt with all the kids! Kenz had a wonderful time playing and hunting for eggs!

laidlaw 3.5

We did a family photo shoot to mark the end of the Laidlaw 3 to the beginning of Laidlaw 4. My friend Sarah was kind enough to shoot us at the famous Gasworks Park and she made quite the impression on Kenz. She now asks me to go to the park so she can play with Sarah who is "super fun". Thanks Sar!
