Last week, I was at my parents house with the kids when we found out that a very close elderly neighbor had passed away suddenly. This kind man was everyone's Grandpa...whether you were related to him or not. I had known him for over 30 years, so it was a truly sad day for me. Cathy came over to mom and dads house shortly after she heard the news and when she got there she was upset. Cathy just shared what happened next with me, so I wanted to share because it brought tears to my eyes...
Mackenzie..."Aunt Caki why are you sad?"
Cathy..."I'm just a little sad today"
Mackenzie...thinks for a second and then says "Well do you want a hug? Hugs make people happy."
Somehow a 3 1/2 year old knows how to make a 28 year old all better:)

Visiting with Lulu
Aunt Cathy and I took the kids over to visit with Lulu today. She was so excited to see them. Mackenzie was a real chatter box with Lulu, which really made Lulu smile:) Boo told her all about the shark we saw at the beach, and then she shared her stickers with Lulu. I'm not sure which made Lulu happier, hearing all Boo's stories or having a TON of stickers plastered all over her hands and shirt:) Lulu was also able to see Zach walk. She was very proud that her youngest great grandchild could walk so well. Here are a couple pictures from our visit with Lulu!
Zach's first big person dinner
Now that Zach has 6 teeth, we are introducing new foods to him almost daily. Here is a picture from his first all solid (not baby food) food dinner! He did awesome. So far, we haven't really found anything that he doesn't like:)
Zach has pool hair!
I gave Zach a mo-hawk one afternoon after I had a little left over sunscreen on my hands! I couldn't help it....but isn't he cute with his pool hair????
Mackenzie and her drawings
Mackenzie has really been into drawing our family lately. Here is a picture of her family on her magna doodle! She will spend a lot of time sitting at her little table doing any sort of art project...I think she must get that from her great grandma Lulu:)
July 4th Beach Trip
Boo had a great time splashing in the ocean this beach trip! With a little help from Uncle Charlie or Daddy, she would jump the waves and laugh and say "I want to do it again...again!"
Zach wasn't to sure about the whole sand/water thing at first. But, after a bit, he seemed to really like playing in the sand. I guess he wore himself out, because as you can see in the picture below, this is where he stayed the rest of the morning at the beach!
On the 4th, we spent the evening in Wilmington, down on the waterfront. We had a nice dinner and then walked around the waterfront waiting for it to get dark so we could see the fireworks. The kids did AWESOME!!! Mackenzie loved all the colors of the fireworks, while Zach seemed to like all of it..noise and all!
We had a great time at the beach with Auntie Marie and Uncle Charlie for the July 4th holiday!
