The first blog!

This is my first attempt at "blogging". Hopefully I will be able to catch onto this little wonder, it doesn't' appear to be too difficult. My hope is that I'll be able to keep those close to my family and myself up-to-date on our busy lives. I'll apologize in advance because I know I will not be faithful to doing this every week. I will do my best though :)

Well Mackenzie is going to be 5 months old on Sept 4th (that is so hard to believe!) and I am amazed by her everyday. She is beginning to reach out for objects, my nose being her favorite thing to grab and squeeze. She has developed so much personality, it is just wonderful to watch her reactions to the things around her.
Today I was holding her on my lap and our dog, Lexi, came up and sniffed her face. Mackenzie proceeded to squirm and squeal in delight at the dog's wet nose in her face and reached out for her. Lexi, in response to Mackenzie's excitement, began licking her hands and face, which made Mackenzie squeal even louder. This was the game we played for about 25 minutes while waiting for my cousin Jocelyn to come babysit so I could leave for class.
I spent my whole afternoon in classes thinking about my rapidly changing daughter. It is amazing to me how intricately God has designed us. Think about it. He has created us in such a detailed way that we are ever changing and growing; physically, mentally and spiritually. GOD IS GOOD! And I thank him everyday for the many blessings I have been given.
