Our Mackie Doodle is 7 months!

Already 7 months...he is getting so big and accomplishing new things every day. He is sitting up well and just starting to crawl. He is my latest for crawling and for that I am very thankful :). He can pretty much get where ever he wants but is usually just content to watch his brothers in the sitting position. He loves to chew on anything, pull anyone's hair, smile, giggle, eat and give hugs and kisses which involve a little pinching. He is generally a very content, easy going kiddo and almost always happy to be packed around by anyone.

Here he is at 7 months! Can't imagine life without you McKenon!


Thanks Auntie Kaaran for my new pj's they are so cozy (not to mention cute)!
Ready to crawl

This and that...

Nothing much here. We are enjoying the summer. The weather has been cool but mostly nice. The boys and I try to do something every morning. We go for bike rides (they ride I push Mack), to the library, to the park, to the lake. It's been fun. We've been painting the house. The main part of the house is all done but we still have some trim work to do. I didn't realize house much work it is, but it does look really nice. I will post pictures of before and after when it is complete.

Anyway, here are some pictures from the past two weeks.
I love peaches!

Our friends Trina and Ryan came to visit-this is their little girl Ainsley. She loves babies.

Peach pie funnies

The other day I made peach pie. This doesn't happen very often and is very much a summer treat! Cohen who doesn't get much wheat exclaimed "Mommy this is excellent- delicious". As we were getting ready for meeting, after eating the peach pie, Lachlan said "The sugar has hit the system". It went on to be an interesting evening...no actually they were pretty good and we all loved the pie!

I can't resist adding a couple pictures of Mack:

First swing ride!

The 4th

Drew turned 33 on the 4th. We had a wonderful week at Orcas. I went up on Tuesday with my Mom, Drew came up Wednesday and my Dad came up on Thursday. The weather wasn't outstanding but it wasn't horrible either. We hiked, the boys biked, played on the beach, sat around the campfire and ate a lot! Drew had a really nice birthday-very relaxing, and he was once again thankful for another year. The weather this week has been beautiful and we are enjoying it so much!

In other news, McKenon had his 6 month WCC yesterday. He is doing great and growing like a little trooper. He is 17lbs 6 oz., 27 1/2 inches long. He has slimmed down and is now long and lean (with a little chunk :). He loves his food now.

Here are some pictures from last week:
