Shots oh my!!!!

Ava and Elyse had there check up today. Things went well. Ava did not like the MD at all, she started crying as soon as the lady touched her. Elyse on the otherhand tried to grab and play with the stethescope. The girls are growing good. We started rice cereal this morning, they did OK, Ava was too busy smiling and laughing to eat. Then of course we had to get the dreaded vaccines. Elyse went first and of course was crying and Ava was looking down at her like is that what is going to happen next. The facial expression was priceless. Then as soon as Ava laid down the crying started. Well tylenol the next 24 hrs and all will be back to normal. I have yet to figure out how I am going to fit solid foods into my established routine. Guess we will get another routine started.

So Mackenzie's birthday party was Saturday. Who knew 15 preschoolers would kick our butt. Mike and I were so tired on Saturday night from the party.Those preschool teachers are angels. It went great and the kids had fun bowling. Thanks to Michelle B. for the Barbie cake. It was good as always. We chose to go bowling because for two years we had her party at my families corn maze but both times it was cold and rainy. We went to the corn maze on Saturday after the party and it was windy and cold so we did not get pictures with pumpkins. Mackenzie had her 4 year old check up on Friday, what a adventure. They pricked her finger for lead level and cholesterol level, checked her vision and hearing, then they checked her ears and guess what wax!!. Yes they washed her ears out, what fun. Then to top it off the FLU SHOT, she was loving me by the end and kindly at the top of her voice informed me that she "did not want to come back to this place". The twins have there checkup tomorrow, I will post weights then.

Mackenzie turns 4!!!

On October 9, 2004 my dad and mom got a new granddaughter and a daughter-n-law, yes all in the same day. This is the day that our lives changed forever. For those of you that do not know we wanted and waited for this little girl a long time and when that time came we were so blessed to have Mackenzie. She has been the center of our world for the last 4 years, until the twins came and she has to share but only a little. She is still very much a princess and has grown into a little lady over the past 4 years. I was looking through pictures tonight and thought I would share a few with you. She has been such a joy in our lives and I am sure will continue to be. Just wanted to say Happy Birthday Mackenzie and Mommy, Daddy, Ava, and Elyse love you very much. The party is Saturday, will post pics after that.
