Busy, Busy Times

We have been so busy lately! Mason is taking swim lessons, and although she still doesn't like putting her face in the water, she is trying it every day. She enjoys the lessons and playing in the water. The only other news for Mason is that we ordered her school uniforms and bought her a backpack. She's heading off to kindergarten on Sept. 2. They grow up so quickly!

Mackenzie is completely potty trained. She is an amazing success. Not too many of you probably can imagine how great it is to have only ONE in diapers now. It's fantastic!! Mackenzie is a champ. She talks more and is truly becoming a "big" girl.

Jenna watches Mackenzie on the potty as a several times a day activity. She loves to watch it flush. When we have the little portable potty out, as soon as Mackenzie is finished and we've emptied it, Jenna sits down, fully clothed. She's very proud of herself. She is starting to put sounds together and try to make words. Popular words are: mama, dada, duck, bubbub (bubbles), bye, and anything else she can repeat the first sound of, before the word becomes gibberish.

In the absence of regular candid pics, we've been meaning to post these professional photos (for which we bought copyrights) of the girls. Mason is nearly five, Mackenzie is two, and Jenna is 14 months.
