Makenzie's blessing in Dallas, TX

We paid a visit to Adam's parents in Dallas, TX this month. They are there serving a mission. We decided to bless Makenzie while we were there since they can't travel to Columbus. Some of our good friends who now live in Dallas were also able to come to Makenzie's blessing. It was a great day!

We had a wonderful quiet week spent getting to know Grandma and Grandpa, playing with cousin Allie and swimming. What more could a kid ask for? Shane LOVED the pool. Sorry no pictures in the pool.

We also visited our friends! Sadly, we didn't get any pictures with them either because I forgot I even had my camera with me. Even worse, we ended the week with Shane, Makenzie and I all catching a cold. Upon getting home, we also discovered that Shane had an ear infection that ruptured. However, we still had a great time!! Thanks family and friends for letting us come!
