Wow! These are great pictures! Now I’m eager to see the birthday pictures. She is truly two now. And it certainly looks like you had great family time!!

Mackenzie always has that big happy grin. Love the ones of her in the hotel bed!

Didn’t Maddie used to have a permanent grin but now she often looks serious or meditative. Age does that to all of us; chuckle.

I’m glad Mackenzie got rid of the ear infection relatively quickly.

She’s doing a lot better! She was done with the treatments within a week and got over the cough within that same amount of time. It was worth it.

So how is Mackenzie now? Is she done with the treatments or not?
These girls are so adorable. Thank you for the new photos. They sure are growing!

Yes, there was such a movie. I saw it. Can’t remember all the details. Think it was 4 girls who became friends as children. Made promises to each other about forever and ever. (pinkie promise) But I forget what went wrong when they became adults. Maybe someone out there can remember for me so that I don’t have the question in my head for the next several days.
What a memory for someone who did NOT see the movie.

Ya Ya YAAAAY! Wasn’t there a movie called secrets of the divine ya ya sisterhood or something like that? I never saw it because it looked like a chick-flick, it wasn’t Star Wars, and I hate Hollywood. I don’t know how anyone could live near it.

-Love, Doug

Wow! I’m glad I decided to check the blog before I went to bed. They are so precious. Guess they speak each other’s language. Grandma loves watching them grow and interact.

How does Mackenzie wake up from a nap? I remember all of those sneaky videos of Maddie playing in her crib after her nap. and being mischievous.

Even your videos are fond memories to me in addition to time spent with the girls.

Isn’t it the best to see the two kids together?! I just love it!

Jacob and Isaac love these videos! Isaac laughed and squealed at Mackenzie’s ‘Ya Ya Ya’. Guess she was speaking his language, although, he is more of a ‘Duh duh duh’ guy. Jacob kept saying ‘Maddie! Maddie! Maddie!’ and he calls Mackenzie something like a cross between ‘Kenny’ and ‘Keeny’.
Jacob does the same thing with crawling. Now that Isaac crawls, Jacob will crawl around the house with him. Silly!
