Frame by Frame

Here is the frame-by-frame of Macy enjoying the water feature at our favorite park . . .

This is repeated over and over and the surprised look on her face is always the same.

Julia's First Month

We just can't get enough of her!

Summer Fun

Julia is such a good baby that our summer fun has not slowed down a bit.

 

JuJu just goes with the flow everywhere we go in the "bunk bed" stroller.

This last picture is my favorite Macy moment of the summer so far.  Here she is decked out to be in our neighborhood parade.  Her cowboy boots were too small so we improvised.  She was so excited she was beaming!  When she came through with the kids, she yelled out to me, "Look Mom, I'm in a parade!"  

Unfortunately, when she came around with the parade my camera battery died which made me cry a little, I am blaming it on hormones.

Sisters

Macy loves baby Julia.  She always has to know where she is and if Julia makes any sound at all Macy has to know "what is wrong with her?"

Macy does not like anyone but JD or me to hold Julia.  She immediately insists "I want my baby back!"

I love seeing my girls together.  I have two constant reminders that prayers are answered and miracles do happen!  

Grammy's Visit

We are so glad that Grammy came home for a week when Julia was born.  My mom helped me a ton and Macy had so much fun spending time with Grammy, her aunts and cousins while we were in the hospital.  Unfortunately, Macy now thinks that Grammy means no Mom or Dad around and is a little wary of her.

We love you Grammy and Grampy!

Mothers' Day

Macy gave me the most adorable flowers that they made in nursery from the kids' handprints.  I am so blessed to be her mother.  She has brought me incredible joy.  


I am also blessed to have a wonderful mom and to be surrounded by so many amazing mothers that have taught me so much about love and mothering.
