Update!

Okay, it has been way too long since I posted anything. Can I still claim the new mama drama as an excuse? Well I'm going to anyway. Update: Mackenzie is 2 months old on the 23rd of April and doing GREAT! She is such a joy to have in the house. I heard her laughing in the monitor this morning, she does that on a consistent basis. She especially thinks her brother and sister are funny. She weighed in this morning at the doctor at 11 lbs and 5 ounces. She has gained 3 pounds in 2 months. What can I say? She's a good eater. Something I can't say for my first two. Speaking of, they are adjusting to everything really well. Jenna is rounding out her last 6 weeks of kindergarten with homework and spelling tests that she aces! It's crazy and amazing that she has learned so much so fast. She reads all the signs we pass and wants to spell everything. She also is going to finish her 2nd year of ballet with a recital at the University of Texas Arlington campus this year. She is so excited. Austin is flourishing with his new friends at church and made some with the siblings of Jenna's classmates. He is learning his letters and trying to do more things on his own. He is finally eating better and trying to be a big helper to his little sister.

Mackenzie Blessing Day

We blessed Mackenzie on March 20 with Randall's mom in town. She was dressed in a dress that has been in the family for 100 years or so. All the girls in the family have worn it. It's amazing to be part of such a long tradition.

Family Portraits

Okay... so it has been a REALLY long time since we have done professional portraits for us and the kids, and now I remember why. It takes 2 HOURS! But the end results were amazing (not that I am biased or anything). Most of what we did was for Mackenzie but the kids had fun getting their own pictures done as well, me- not so much but who does. Enjoy!
