After lots of nagging and pleading, Madeleine finally consented to cutting her hair. It looks sooooo much better, and she really likes it--amazing when Mom knows what she's talking about.

She's such a pretty girl, and now she has some pretty hair too.

Just a Swingin'

Labor day weekend, the children and I went to one of the city parks here in Duncanville--Lyons Park. Mackenzie is big enough now for the "baby" swing. She loved it! Especially when big brother Matthias came along and was pushing her higher than mommy was comfortable with. It didn't phase her any--just check out the big smile on her face.






This particular park has a creek and pond nearby. The older three disappeared looking for tadpoles, so I took the younger two boys (with Mackenzie on my back) down to the creek. They had a good time trying to catch minnows--and both slipped on the algae and ended up a bit wet. Oh well, they'll dry.

First Tooth

Mackenzie's first tooth has broken through :). If you zoom in close on the top picture, you can see a little white speck on her lower left. She's too cute!! I just love that little girl!




She has her VoVo's name, but her Granny's smile.
