Hugs

Mackenzie is sooo excited that she can put her shoes on and take them off!!
Treasured hugs from papauk and gamma!
Just plain adorable!

Mt Rainer in the distance. This is some of the scenery from the ferry ride from Kingston to Edmonds on our trip to the airport to say goodbye to the family. (that was the worst part of the trip)
Mackenzie is 22 months old and already can say the ABC's and count to 10 and attempts to count to 20. I love the way she says eleven. She knows most of the animal names and their sounds. She says "chirp,chirp" for a bird sound. It is tooo cute. A couple of times in the middle of doing something she comes out with, "Oh, gosh", it was too funny. I told her mom and she said that she doesn't know where that came from. She picks up things so quickly. She can jump up and down like you would jump a jump rope-it is hilarious. She is always saying "thank you" and so I would do the same when she would hand me something and she started saying "you welcome" (too cute) Cute words she has for food---- munch for lunch, chichen for chicken, chechup for ketchup. Well, this grandma thinks Mackenzie is "one amazing" baby!!
It just tore us up to have to leave her-she just blessed us to the core. We thank the Lord for our family.

The new house






Here are some photos of the new house for Julie, Drew and Mackenzie!! It is located in Poulsbo, Washington. It is a beautiful hilly area and has a rural feel to it compared to Lynnwood where they moved from. I just have to tell you that Mackenzie stepped into my thongs just by wiggling her toes into the shoes. To do that with her socks on is quite the ordeal. She is very coordinated for her 22 months. ((bragging)) :)

More of Mackenzie





More of Mackenzie

View from front window includes trees and bushes. There are a number of azaleas in the front yard.
Here is the fenced in back yard. Mackenzie looks into the dog house and say " bear"!



Mackenzie loves watching Elmo! We had to go to the house a couple of days before moving in to get the phone hooked up. Mackenzie had fun running all around the house!
