Makenna's Blessing Day

 Makenna was given a beautiful blessing by her dad on Sunday November 27th. She did very well and didn't even cry! We appreciate all those that came to join us on this special day.

 

 

First time going to church

Enjoying Dad's break from school

Look Mom, One hand!

Makenna sure likes to be in her mama"s arms. She can be content for a couple minutes in a bouncer, about 30 secs in the swing, and about 10 secs if you just lay her down. She  just doesn't want to miss a minute of the action, and would much rather be carted around. As i type this one handed I'm discovering how much I can (and can"t) do one handed. So even though it can be a challenge to get really much done at this point, I'm going to try to enjoy the moments of holding and caring for my sweet little girl.

Happy Halloween!

Here are a few pictures from Makenna's first Halloween.

 Mark and Alyce joined us for some pumpkin carving fun on Saturday.

 Makenna and I stayed home and handed out candy to the trick-or-treaters.

 Makenna wanted to show pride for her favorite team.

 She was born a Sun Devil.

All worn out!

 Brad was able to help deliver Makenna, I think this was a neat experience for a Doctor in the making.

The Proud Daddy, he loves this little girl!

 Look at all the hair!

We are home and doing well,  we are just so thankful to have both Grandma's tag teaming to help us while Brad is  trying to keep up with school. We wouldn't be able to do it without them!
