Visiting Santa

Lori is a great friend. She works at a bank in Odessa. Santa came to visit the bank the other night. Makenzie was able to go and tell him what she wanted for Christmas. Because he is Santa, I think he understood everything she said!! Makenzie did really great with him...although she wanted to touch his white beard!

Little Pete

I have a friend who, like me, struggled to have children. When I went to tell her I was pregnant with Makenzie, she was able to tell me she was pregnant too!!! What a blessing! We were able to go through our pregnancies together which helped when we got nervous! Unfortunately, she is not able to stay home, so I have started to care for her son. Pete is such a sweet baby to care for! I was a little nervous about caring for two babies but it has really been fun. Even Lucy, our dog, loves having Pete over! Last Friday, Makenzie and Pete made eye contact for the first time. They would smile at each other and then look down and then look at each other again. It was really sweet. I hope that Makenzie and Pete become best friends as they grow up together!

Spending Time Outside

I wanted to weed the flowerbed one more time before the cold weather arrived. I decided Makenzie needed some sun too! Unfortunately, the bees also wanted some sun. We didn't get to stay out too long. But we looked really cute while we were outside!
