After a fun trip to Yellowstone for a family reunion, Mckenzie was blessed on July 30. We can't believe how much she is growing. She's all about eating, sleeping, trying to roll over (has done this a couple of times), making me (Jessica) change her diaper all the time (she does NOT like having a dirty diaper), smiling, and of course getting all the attention. She also has decided to try crawling. Yes, you read correctly "crawling". Of course she has a long way to go, but she's learned that if she bends one leg and then the other and switches back and forth then she can move. YIKES! Though, I must admit she only does this when she's upset. Maybe it's to say "Mom, if you don't do what I want, then I will learn how to crawl early and get into everything!" We shall see... Anyway, Dan starts back up with school here in a few weeks. He continues to work at Design Intelligence and seems to like it quite well. He has really enjoyed taking up golf this summer and learning how to be an awesome daddy! As for me... I started working again a couple of weeks ago doing the same thing (working with kids with behavioral problems). I only have 2 clients which makes it nice. I'm pretty much home most of the time with Mckenzie and when I go to work Dan takes charge! Life is good and we're enjoying our last little while of the summer.

Mckenzie's Blessing Day

I figured that it was about time for me to actually write a little something rather than just post a few pictures. We're all doing well. This week I (Jessica) have been sick and yesterday and today Dan hasn't felt well. Fortunantly, Mckenzie has been pretty healthy and happy. She slept the whole night (from 12 am to 8 am.) the other night. It was wonderful! She can't stand her bassinet, but loves our bed. So, we usually get her to sleep and then put her in her swing. She's growing so much! After her being so little when born and all that went on, she's doing amazing. She's such a strong little girl. She's two months old and weighs 9lbs 10oz and is 23 inches long! YUP...she's a tall girl! Jessica has gone back to work about 16 hours a week and Dan continues to work at for a structural engineering company. He goes back to school at the beginning of September. We've had a busy, but fun summer and are enjoying having Mckenzie home with us. She is a most amazing and true blessing to us. Thank you to all our family and friends for your love and support. We love you.
