... We brought McKenzy home from the hospital. It was a long 2 and a half months in the NICU. She is the first born girl and was the first one home. She got a special outfit that was all her own and the preemie size was huge! She weighed just over 5 pounds and was so tiny. She came home without any monitors or tubes. We were so lucky and happy to have her at home.

I can't believe how her looks really have not changed. She has always been a beautiful little girls and continues to get prettier by the day. We had a fun coming home day with doughnuts in the morning for everyone. She got to choose what we had for lunch and she choose McDonalds fries. She also got to choose the movie of the day so she felt very special. Earlier this week, she perforated her ear drum and has been in a lot of pain. Today though she was finally more herself, talking a mile a minute.

McKenzy loves to cook with Grammie. Her favorite part is licking the beaters and watching what the ingredients do in the mixer. She loves Dora, Barney, cookies, chicken nuggets, peaches, and playing with her sisters. She definetly marches to the beat of her own drum but it is a fun drum. When she is mad, we all know it, but her laughis more contagious than the common cold.

We love you McKenzy! Keep your individual spirit, it will take you far in life. You have an important role in our family as the "keeper of the sisters." It is a big job, but you do it well. It was another fun year and we can't wait to see what the next one has in store. You are a beautiful girl.
