McKenna is 3!!





























I hope this posting finds everyone well! We have been having one very busy and fun summer! We just concluded what turned into McKenna's "birthday week." Last Saturday we started the festivities with a party at P.E. 101 Kids Gym. McKenna had a bunch of her friends from school and some of our friends' kiddos come to celebrate with her. They had so much fun bouncing on the trampoline, riding the zip line, and playing with the parachute. She was so excited when each friend arrived and seemed so grown up! That night, we had some of our close friends and their children over for a cook-out and more celebrating. It was a busy day, but full of gifts and sweet treats. McKenna had a ball!

Today was our family birthday party. McKenna was lucky to celebrate with both Grandparents at the same time. She got some really fun presents including a new bike and her very own Leapster (a learning game that she thinks looks like the Nintendo DS games that her older friends have). We ate some good food and topped it off with an ice cream cake. Another great day to celebrate McKenna!

Tomorrow is McKenna's first official day in the three year old classroom. This means the start of our preschool program. I can't believe she is already in preschool. That just makes school all that much closer and that thought actually makes me sick to my stomach. While I love seeing her grow and change, I don't want her to be growing up so fast!

We are having a great summer so far. Matt built a new swingset for McKenna for her birthday so we have been spending as much time outside as possible. We have been splashing around in our little pool out back and taking walks down to the park too. Trying to soak up all the sunshine we can get. We hope your summer is going well!
