Where do I put my pinky?






My beautiful daughter loves to suck on her fingers. The only problem is that she doesn't know where to put her little pinky! Somehow it ends up in her nose!! She looks absolutely adorable but I know she can't keep it there. I love watching my daughter grow! Everyday she learns more and more. Giving her a bath is so much fun! We even had bubbles.

Makenzie's Baby Dedication





Today, we celebrated God's wonderful gift, our daughter. It was baby dedication at our church. Lutherans do not do this, we do baptism instead, so it was a new experience for me. I think it is so important for Ken and I to show that we want Makenzie to grow up in a christian home and become what God has planned for her. She did so well and never cried! Thanks to Feather, we have some really good pictures.

Happy Halloween






On Saturday evening, we went to Renee's to celebrate Halloween. Everyone brought a pumpkin to carve. Makenzie had a very small pumpkin because she is very small too! We had a nice time with lots of food, friends, and fun. Aunt Feather was very helpful to hold Makenzie while her mommy carved the pumpkin (Daddy did not want his hands dirty)!

Nothing Much To Say!





I haven't blogged in a while and I have to tell you that I don't have much to say. My mom had a sore foot last week and we all thought it was a blood clot. However, testing did not show one and so the doctor put her on steroids. She says it feels better. I hate watching my parents getting older. I don't want them to get older. When I was single, my biggest fear was that they would pass away and I'd have no one to lean on. My sister had her husband and kids. My brother had his kids. I had my dog and cat....good to cuddle with but not someone to hold your hand or take you out to get your mind off of things! I'm married now and I still fear what it will be like. However, I know my husband will be there with me through it all. I just hope it doesn't happen for a long long long time! I want Makenzie to get to know her grandparents. My husband participated in the men's bake off today at church. He made a cake called 22 minutes cake. It was really good. Unfortunately, he did not win but I think he should have!!! There was a cake that was in a cat litter box and looked like something the cat had used! GROSS. I couldn't bring myself to sample it.
