Moving, Birthdays, and 16 Months!

 To say the past few weeks have been busy for us would be the understatement of the year!  We packed up our whole house in Highland and moved it up to Port Austin, then unpacked it all here!  Well, there is still some unpacking to do but the bulk of it is done!  Yesterday we had a birthday party for my brother, Mike's daughter, Georgia, who turned 2 last week at my dad and Chris' house.  Macy also turned 16 months old this week.  Pile on daddy now having to commute to the city a couple of days a week for work, mumma trying to prep for school starting, and a child care search for when mumma goes back to work and you've got yourself a pretty busy time!  We've saved some time for fun in between though, here are some pictures.

Macy hamming for the camera.  I think this is the last picture I took of her in our old house.

Grandma came down on moving day to entertain Macy while we packed up.  What a life saver!

Georgia's birthday party...Macy cheesing!

Macy & Mumma

Macy loooves playing with rocks and found these in Dzia Dzia and Boppy's backyard!

Georgia will NOT smile for pictures so you have to catch her off guard.  I managed to get a couple!

The birthday girl!

Opening presents

Macy picked out this wand for Georgia.  Unfortunately, when Georgia opened it Macy was having trouble with the concept that the wand was Georgia's now, not hers!

Georgia got a Minnie chair just like Macy's!

And a new bike!

Blowing out the candles!

Got 'em all!

Georgia:  Delicately nibbling on the sprinkles

Macy:  Diving in mouth first!

16 months in the Minnie chair (saying "no, no" to picture time!)

If I give you a fake smile will you leave it alone mom?

Take 3:  Much better.

Okay, I'm outta here!

Macy's vocabulary has exploded in the last 2 months.  I would say she says at least 20 words now, maybe more.  She will also tell you the sound that a sheep, pig, dog, cat, and duck make.  Her favorite thing to say is NO, and her second favorite thing to say is her little cousin's name, Julia.  She walks around saying those 2 things CONSTANTLY!  =)

Looking forward to enjoying these last couple weeks of summer!
