Everyone loves THIS Irish girl


Happy Belated St. Patty's day! Unfortunatly - it wasn't a huge celebration in our house this year, as Mackenzie got sick late Sunday night and we ended up visiting the ER at 3:45 am on St. Patty's Day. However - we did get spectacular service at the ER and once she settled down and stopped crying - Mackenzie was quite the hit, running around waving to everyone and saying HI. (Part of the new found energy may have come from the adrenalin they gave her to help her breath, because she hadn't slept AT ALL before that). Official diagnosis - Croup & an ear infection. When Mackenzie finally woke up mid day yesterday - she insisted on wearing her special Lady Luck St. Patty's shirt - but she looked so miserable and sickly - I just couldn't bring myself to take any pictures of her. :( But even her little hospital gown was green!

Dear Friends,


I picked this just for you.
XOXO, Mackenzie

PS - I am 15 monthes old today! :)

Happy President's Day






Just some cute pics to show how Mackenzie and I spent a nice day together to celebrate President's day - we went shopping, where she helped push the cart around the store and played at home. We were dog-sititng for Uncle Jon's dog, Guinness - and Mackenzie LOVED his kennel. Please also note her new "big girl" Nike shox shoes - which she loves to run in! And also notice how LONG the piggy tails are becoming as well.....like I said earlier - such a big girl! And her spiky, curled piggy tails ALWAYS gain attention and compliments when we are out and about.

Growing Up




Every day - Mackenzie becomes more little girl and less baby. Her newest grown up thing is insisting on using a spoon to feed herself. The pics show her eating yogurt - and I will atest that she did not stop until she had cleaned the containter out! And each spoonful is typically accompanied by her announcement "Mmmm - Yum!" Unfortunatly - I am not sure how much she actually ate as opposed to wearing - as you can see from the last picture. But practice will make perfect.

Good-Night Prayer


Mackenzie's Good Night Prayer

Dear Lord -

Please watch over me and keep me safe while I sleep tonight. I have tried very hard to be a good little angel today. I know I am not supposed to play in the toilet, but I couldn't resist the temptation tonight when Daddy fell asleep during Baby Einstein (and to think he thought I would fall for that old trick). That is why I am wearing this interesting combo of jammies (Dora meets halloween kitties) - please keep me safe and warm in my bed so I can wake up in the morning and wear one of the many cute outfits I have been blessed with. I would be embarassed for anyone to see me looking like this. And I promise to try to resist the toilet temptation better next time.

Your little angel always - Mackenzie Jean
