Blogging Sabatical is Over...

Alright, enough is enough. No more heckling people...I will post. I had to go back to work in the office full time after McKenna's birthday on the 24th of July, and thus have run out of time for blogging... not to mention the fact that McKenna had the stomach flu for a week... so I will take a few moments to update everyone on what's been going on in BMac's life.

Since my last post, McKenna has learned all sorts of new tricks, is a crawling speed demon, has learned to say: 'wow,' 'baby,' 'bear,' 'yah,' and 'no.' She no longer drinks from a bottle, drinks cow's milk instead of formula and has proven to be quite the adventurous eater. Some of her favorite foods include, salmon, filet mignon, tilapia, barbecued chicken, grilled vegetables, corn on the cob (or off the cob in her case) and grilled pizza (yes, really grilled, as in made on the grill).

She had a fantastic birthday, complete with 40 of her closest friends (I'm still recovering from that shindig). Her Aunt Blair sent her a sweet Radio Flyer wagon for her birthday, here she is with it after I put it together:

The night before her birthday, we made pizza on the grill... as you can see she thoroughly enjoyed it:

Then on her actual birthday we took her to the municipal water park, called the Broomfield Bay. She had a blast, but John and I were less enthusiastic... it was probably the most dangerous pool we've ever been to, and in my estimation they needed about twice as many guards on their main pool (I have high standards, Wild Rivers has ruined me). Here are some pictures of us in the pool:



As I mentioned earlier, we had a huge party for BMac's Birthday, we had about 40 people in our little house... which would have been fine, if people could have spent time in the yard as originally planned, but of course, like a typical Colorado summer day, it rained.

Here's a picture from the party:
Here's a link to the rest of the pics.

BMac also had the worst stomach flu I've ever experienced a few weeks ago... even though she doesn't look sick in these pictures, she really was... but I needed to take pictures of her new reading chair...
Ok. That's all I've got for now... More in the future, I promise.
