Macy Kate LOVES to be out in the yard with her Daddy! Doug has a true love for the yard/landscaping (guess it's something to do with his business! HA!) so he has already started putting that love in her - it's cute! She will be SO into whatever he is doing out there! He is already talking about getting her some gradening gloves and stuff for her birthday :-)
A week or so ago we drove out to Buckhead for a drama performance of Allie's and the church it was at had these pretty flowers and this little bench and we had time to kill and a camera in hand....so what do you think I did? :-)
She looks so pretty in purple (thank you Laura...for the outfit - it's one of our favorite's!) and as always, she's a HAM for the camera!
Last minute Target dollar isle item! HA!!!
nephew came too - so it was one big family event. The food was great and the weather was PERFECT! 
never be the same. Isn't it breath taking how something so small can impact your life in such a HUGE way. I was a nanny for 3 years and I thought I knew what it meant to love a child - I would have done anything for Allie and Maddy and yet I still did not know the love I would have for my own child. It is something that oozes (is that a word?) out of me, and in turn, causes a wonderful ripple effect in every area of our life. I see Doug with her and I love him SO much more because of his love for her...I see what joy she brings to our family life and it brings me closer to my mother/father-in-law and makes me schedule time with them, for her....I hear the pure joy in my Mom's voice when she tells me she received a video or picture of MK and it made her day, and in turn I miss and love my Mom so much and am SO happy I can bring this joy into her life...I am brought closer to my sisters & sister-in-law & girl friends because I finally share this motherhood thing with them and it enriches my life to have them in it and us share this bond....it makes me thank God every day for her and for her health and brings me closer to our Creator and forces me to see a little bit of Him in everything, whereas before we were so focused on us....EVERY area of our life is made better by her presence and just think....she's only been here 6 months! :-)
s so out of it....I was begging for an epidural and asking "How much am I dilated now" and trying not to throw up - but still ended up throwing up! HA! I had my family & Doug's family in and out of the room supporting me....and my precious Dad offering to do whatever he could - UGH....I don't want to cry today over Dad but here I go:-) I will never forget that day - the memory of that whole time around her birth is wrapped around my Mom & Dad and them being here and the wonderful time I thank God we had together before his sudden death, because of Macy Kate. Also, because of her and the love I have for her Daddy, I had several people in the delivery room and that was not something I was sure about at the time but looking back on it I really did treasure that - it was perfect...everyone was wonderful to me and it is a memory that makes her coming into this world even better! God knew this little life that was about to be born would bring all of us together on that day - how awesome He is! Hard to believe that was only 6 months ago - feels like years on some days, but feel like just yesterday at times too. Little did I know, while they were "finishing me up", my Dad was downstairs giving everyone in the waiting room at Cobb Hospital a show of me giving birth - HA!! Intimate moment but he was so proud and excited, he just could not help himself! I miss that Dad - so proud, so technilogically advanced! HA!!!
