I realize I haven't posted any pictures or updates in a while and I took a moment to think about why. Then, McKenzie started crying because she couldn't open the front door. And there's my reason... I have a full blown toddler. Not only that, but one who is so close to two that she has entered that "terrible" phase you always hear about. Well, the terrible twos are hitting us hard around here. McKenzie is completely irrational about almost everything these days. I can't pick out the right clothes, the right shoes, the right toy, the right ANYTHING for her. And the way she chirps "no" every time I offer something makes me think that she is completely playing me. UGH!
For those of you that doubt McKenzie could be anything less than pleasant, here's proof. She walked around for about 30 minutes like this until I finally forced a dress on her. I think her face says it all. And yes, she is at the door to the garage ready to get in the car like this.
Brant and I recently returned from a trip out to San Francisco. We had some airline miles to use or lose, so we took the chance to head out West and explore San Fran. What a great time! It was tough leaving McKenzie for five days, but I'm glad we did it. She had a great time with all of her grandparents (pictures of that soon), so I'm thinking she didn't miss us too much. As much as we love McKenzie, it was nice to have some time together to actually have conversations and spend longer than 15 minutes eating a meal. Still, my heart leapt when I saw McKenzie waiting for us at the airport and Brant actually teared up a bit.
