Showing off her new house

As part of our great family migration this summer, Mackenzie managed to land a house of her own in the backyard. She even invited her friend Jaime over to show off the new digs. I think she's still a little shy about it, and we occasionally find her poring over old issues of "Dwell" magazine - presumably for decoration ideas.

Mackenzie enjoys some new amenities

Here we find Mack having some applesauce in the new backyard. She also discovered the tot-lot swings near our place, which she was very excited about.

More pics from the beach 2010

Mackenzie was very excited about the water. She would approach the surf, then turn back shouting "run away, run away!"

Engineer's hat

One of the final pics from our place in Fairfax before the big move. Mackenzie is sporting her train engineer's hat (from someone's train-themed birthday). The move to Burke went fine (amazingly), and Mack loves her new, larger room.

Summer Vacation in Sandbridge, Virginia

Here are some pics from our beach trip in July. It was Mack's first time at the beach. She really enjoyed building sandcastles and watching the wildlife. Going in the water - not so much.
