Macy's Arizona Christmas has begun!

Arizona is Wild!


After a long day of traveling and worrying about the crazy weather, we made it to Phoenix to begin our Arizona Christmas. Grandpa and Grandma had toys for Macy to play with, a great bed to sleep in, and a stroller that they had collected from the cousins-- Macy is right at home!

Macy bonded instantly with Grandpa Keith and Grandma Cindy, a match made in heaven!

Macy and Grandpa play and play, they are fast friends.

Macy wanted to stay up all night playing with Grandma and Grandpa, then in the morning she was all tuckered out and took a nice nap. We are so happy to be here safe. Now that little Macy has met her Grandparents, Christmas can begin!

Macy is 4 months old!

We went to two doctors appointments yesterday, YIKES! But happily there is little to report.

Macyn's hips are staying in their sockets, but the sockets aren't forming as tight as her orthopedist would like. If they stay in place, the sockets should form just fine. We go back in four more months to get another X-ray to see how they are doing.

On a lighter note, Macy's wonderful pediatrician says she is strong and healthy. She weighed in at 14 lb. 5 oz. (65 %tile) and 24 1/4 inches long (55 %tile).


These appointments are pretty traumatic, because they end with shots. So Papa came with us and we tried to make it a positive experience. Macy especially loved playing with the paper on the exam table.

This picture was, of course, taken before the dreaded shots. They were still hard, but Papa at least didn't cry with her (I still teared up). Gerald was awesome, he helped us both calm down!

We loved having Aunt Lacy here!

It was so awesome to have Gerald's sister, Lacy, come spend a few days with us for Thanksgiving! We loved spending time with her!

She and Macy were very fast friends, they have a lot in common!


Lacy was here for Macy's First Thanksgiving, we all had a great time with Aunt Sheron, Uncle Jesse and their family. The food was wonderful, the company was great, and we all played Rook late into the night! (Lacy and I beat Gerald and Uncle Jesse soundly :))



We stopped by the Portland Temple on our way to the Airport as Lacy was leaving. When they were kids Gerald and Lacy were sealed to their parents there. So this picture is pretty special-- we are an eternal family!



So thank you for coming Lacy, and we cannot wait to see you in just 2 weeks!
