Just wanting to remind everyone that although I'm out of touch, it's not by choice! Em, Makenna and I are all comfortable in our new home and certainly invite our family and friends to stop by to say hi!
Unfortunately, I will have to remain in my dungeon studying. All I have been thinking about lately is the exam coming up that I've been preparing for for the last two years! Aaaaaagh. We wish everyone the best and will expect to post pictures soon.
Emily, Makenna and I went to LA for the day this Mother's Day! We started at the Zoo, went to the La Brea Tar Pits and then to the LA Farmer's Market downtown. It was a fun, relaxing trip for the three of us to get out and enjoy Southern California just a little bit more before we return home at the end of the month!
Makenna had a ton of fun and probably experienced more SMELLS than ever before in her life... Now that I'm thinking about it, it was a lot of different smells for all of us. All the different smells at the zoo is a no brainer, but we also experienced the smell of the Tar Pits, LA in general, and then all the different foods at the market. Buuuut all we are able to share with everyone are the pictures so, ENJOY!

Today Makenna is 8 weeks old! We decided to celebrate with a photo shoot in her honor.
She has been growing fast and gorgeously!! Some of her recent milestones have been smiling, falling asleep by herself for naps and bedtime, holding her head up herself (most of the time anyway), and she is beginning to experiment with her voice. She has been such a joyful baby thus far, as you will see in the pictures. Enjoy!! – there are a lot of pictures :)
Makenna had a wonderful Easter! Early that morning mommy and daughter drove down to Orange County to enjoy the day with Emily’s Uncle’s family. Unfortunately daddy had a test the next morning and wasn’t able to go. We went to the afternoon Mass, it was Makenna’s first time at church!! She did wonderfully & slept the whole time in the “wrap” thanks to the beautiful music. The church overlooked the Laguna beaches, it was breathtaking. We enjoyed the rest of the day with the family at their home. The earthquake was the highlight of the day though haha j/k!
Later that evening we went home to daddy for a nice Easter dinner and quiet night. We had a “second Easter” yesterday with daddy. Makenna and Garrett were able to have some quality time together while mommy made some yummy deviled eggs!
And here are a couple pictures of Garrett after his exam with Makenna. They were peaceful, but Makenna spit up all over his shoulder! After we got her cleaned up we got a better picture ;0)
Isn’t she gorgeous!!! We tell each other every day how blessed we are to have her. She is the most perfect baby we could of ever asked for in every way! And yes, she is a total Diva already!! haha.
