Dear Miss Maddie Grace and Makenzie,
Wow you two are such a joy these days!! Your daddy and I definitely get our fill of laughter each day from the things you two do! Quite entertaining to say the least! We want to bottle up this age and make it last forever-you two are just beyond precious and we thank God for your lives each day! You are also beginning to show us how desperate we are and will be in order to raise you girls up to love and fear the Lord. These are a few of the things we pray are evident in both of your lives in the days ahead. That you come to a knowledge of saving faith in Jesus Christ. That you resist the ways of the world and follow the Lord’s will for your lives. That you find your identity in Christ and Christ alone. That you know you are loved and accepted by God. That you live with eternity in mind, knowing how fleeting this earthly life is. That you use your abilities, talents, and gifts for the Glory of God. That your hearts will overflow with joy from Christ in you. That you will find great delight in serving others and putting others needs before your own. That you will submit to a God who is worthy of all of your affection and praise! That we serve a gracious and compassionate God who abounds in love and mercy. We love you deeply girls. We want you to see how much Christ loves you by the way we love you. Happy 15 months little ones!
Love, Mommy & Daddy

New things you girls are up to these days:
-love playing peek-a-boo with each other under the table, the play house, doors, anywhere you can!
-started copying what the other one is doing
-Not liking the whole “sharing” thing; Getting territorial with things they are playing with, will move to a corner or block their sister out
-press your face into a mirror when you realize its YOU!
-love ice cream and popsicles (a fun treat every now & then!!)
-love riding on your lion push toy
-began mimicking high and low pitch of animal sounds in book
-enjoys “brushing” their teeth and knawing on toothbrush
- can stack 3 blocks high
-will throw hands in the air when you ask “How big is MG or Makenzie!?”; will clap hands and stomp feet to go along with song
-scribbled with a crayon
-becomes frustrated with tasks they have trouble with
-anticipates certain parts in a book; anticipates being chased and will get nervous & run or laugh
-if mommy starts to read a book to one, the other will IMMEDIATELY crawl/walk right over and plop down in my lap too to be a part of it
-moved to your big girl car seats this month! Haven’t minded a bit, but don’t sleep in them nearly as much so far
-very hard to take out to eat now that you are both soo mobile-don’t like sitting in high chair at all!
-1st international flight to Mexico!
-Makenzie’s 1st tooth popped through (6/26) and Maddie Grace now has 4 with 2 more on the way
-MG loves to put lids on containers
-MG will rearrange stacking cups to make them fit and will problem solve to make it work if one won’t fit
-MG loves stuffed animals and will talk to them and hug them
-MG LOVES playing with balls of every shape and size; will deliver the ball to you rather than “throw” it
-MG loves to collect & organize things-daddy’s business cards, magnets, anything flat that can stack J
-MG also enjoys ripping paper in half and carrying that around too
-MG has started biting; partially because she has lots of teeth coming in, partly b/c Mak sticks her fingers in her mouth, but a couple times she has done it when she gets mad L
-Mak loves to pick up heavy things or toys and carry them all over the place
-Mak loves to bring you toys and any other item that you can place in your hand and then take back of course
-Mak has started “creeping” around and squatting down on her knees to look at things of for things-it’s adorable!
-Mak walked backwards for the first time a few days ago
-Mak can climb up onto things to get to other things she wants

-Mak will reach up to hold your hand when walking in new places
-MG still SUPER SUPER ticklish; Mak wants & loves to be tickled but really isn’t all that ticklish J

-Both girls are just now at the stage where I can teach them new things such as “Where is your belly button?” “Where does Jesus live?” and they point to their heart with both hands & also how to “Blow kisses!”
