kitchen

Mackenzie finishing her breakfast while papauk tries to get a photo of her on his phone.

Mackenzie listens while papauk reads the book he just bought for her.

Finally, some photos of inside the house

Here is Mackenzie's bedroom. We didn't get the shelves up on the wall before we left. Julie will have to show us how they look after she and Drew get them up.

Look at those cute toes!!

Here is the other side of the bedroom. Her toybox is on the side of the door to her room.

Hugs

Mackenzie is sooo excited that she can put her shoes on and take them off!!

Mommy and baby girl.

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)) :)

The main reason I'm here!

Mackenzie

Dad was sooo happy to have his little daughter help him out!

YEAH!! Papauk came in-now it's time for fun!
