This must be a phase or something

I noticed recently that Mack was sporting a faux-hawk. No hipster jokes, please.

Hatwear is back

Mack is fine with hats, as long as they don't cover her eyes. Here she is showing off her style in New Mexico.

And here she is with her little hat, going for a walk in her front carrier. I think hats are still a work in progress.

Life is so tough!

Lester Grandkids

The first picture of the Lester grandkids. Taryn is the oldest at 11 years old, followed by Trinity who is 7 (she is the one holding Mack), Aidan is 3, and Mack and Lauren are 4 months.

More professional pics

So, I've uploaded some professional pics from the recent New Mexico family reunion to the Flickr site. They are undoctored, so you photoeditors out there might want to crop the images if you want to print them (case in point, Mack's pic here).

Meet Cousin Lauren

Lauren and Mackenzie were born just two days apart. They met for the first time in New Mexico. Here are the two adorable babies:

I Made Your Child Cry First

During one of our trips to see Cousin Lauren, I thought that I would position Lauren and Mackenzie in such a way that they would be looking at each other. Here is the first 30 seconds:

See Mackenzie squealing in delight. The next 10 seconds:

If you have not noticed, little Lauren is now crying. Between Mom's placement of Lauren and Mack squealing, as Eric stated, "You made my kid cry first." I may never live this one down.

Proud Grandpa

Mack Mommy

Although Craig gets the cool name of "Mack Daddy", I proudly declare myself as the Mack Mommy.

Back in Action

After a few weeks of moving and a quick vacation in New Mexico, we are back and ready to post pics of Mack. Here is a little teaser:
