update!

I know, its been way too long since I have updated the blog! October and November have been busy busy with school, dance, festivals, LA trips, you name it! Makena booked a shoot with Garnet Hill, a catalog, which shot up in Pismo Beach last week. She had a lot of fun, since they shot right on the beach. It was for their summer catalog, so we won't have pics for that for awhile.
Macie is getting big--3.5 months now! She is still a very good baby--fairly mellow, and such a trooper being hauled back and forth to LA.
UPDATED PICS!!

busy weekend!

This weekend has been crazy with back and forth trips to LA and a wedding thrown in the mix! I got a call on Thursday night from Makena's agent about a commercial audition for Macie and me! So luckily my friend Jess offered to watch Makena and take her to her classmate's birthday party while Macie and I went to LA for the commercial audition. Not expecting much to come from it because as soon as we sat down in front of the camera Macie started fussing, and I couldn't focus on saying the lines because I was trying to keep her quiet. Nice timing little one! Oh well...
Then came home for a wedding on Saturday which was a lot of fun, and Sunday we had to drive back to LA because Makena shot a spec commercial for Doritos that will be submitted for Super Bowl consideration. She did very well all things considered. 4 straight hours of filming can be tough for a 3 year old, especially since there were NO other kids there and she had to do everything the adults told her to do. She did remarkably well, when it is done I will get the reel and I can post it here, and MAYBE you will see it during the Super Bowl if it is chosen! Here are a couple recent pics of the girls!

Old Navy!

Here is Makena's latest Old Navy ad to come out this week. We will always remember this one, as she was shooting this, Macie was making her entrance into the world! Look how happy she is when Mom isn't there! Grandma should take her to all of her shoots!

my girl

No, she is not in a bad mood, I just love that little face!

6 weeks

Wow, not sure where the last 6 weeks went! It has gone a lot faster this time than it did with Makena. I am trying to savor every moment with Macie, and it seems to go even faster! Maybe because Makena has started school--the weeks seem to just fly by!
Anyway, here are some pics of the last month!

preschool!

Makena started preschool yesterday--was quite bittersweet for me. Of course she loved it and I definitely enjoyed my time alone with Macie, but it makes me sad to think that she is already going to school! Its only 2 half days a week, but it is still very strange--where did the last 3 years go???

This is Makena coming out of school after her first day--holding the teacher's hand. I think she had fun...

little love

We just LOVE this little baby girl! She has been just the sweetest thing (so far!) She is now 10 days old, and Chris and I keep wondering when the dam is going to break...but so far she has been very mellow and easy. Nights have not been too rough...she seems to sleep very well when I can keep her awake an hour before bedtime, waking up only twice per night. Keeping fingers crossed she stays this mellow, but definitely prepared for things to get a little harder...
