Happy Birthday, Evan!
Family Gathering
Macie got to meet some relatives this weekend! Grandma Mary and Grandpa Mike had dinner on Saturday with my dad's cousins. I had so much fun spending time with them growing up, but hadn't been able to see them for awhile. So much fun to reconnect! Macie smiled for the camera, posing with everyone there :)

Ethan has been loving helping mama bake lately. Here he is helping to lick the spoon clean after making a big batch of brownies!

Macie is 8 Months Old!



Our little girl turned 8 months old a couple days ago! She continues to be such a joy in our lives. She's so happy, spirited, bright, and curious! Some fun facts about Miss Macie:
  • On the day she turned 8 months, she also started crawling! First item on her agenda: destroy big brother's train tracks. We're entering a whole new stage of life now: sibling rivalry (Although, I have to say, Ethan is surprisingly patient, loving, and gentle with Macie, even when she gets into his toys!)
  • I've been able to hear that precious word that every mother yearns to hear: "Mama!" Yay!
  • We've been practicing waving and saying, "Bye-Bye." I think we're getting close :)

Was so fun to party with you both yesterday!! I and L

Macie, now that you can crawl things can get interesting! Here's a tip on how to bug your brother: take the toy he's playing with and toss it behind the couch. Works like a charm! I LOVE doing this! :) Lily

Oh Kristen, she is SO darn cute!!! She looks like such a happy girl, which must mean she has a great mama! Crawling...I bet that does change things a bit. Evy is rolling over...we're still getting used to that! Hope you're doing well--let's talk soon! Katherine
