I'm new to this

This is my first time setting up a blogging page, so it is not complete yet. I love to keep in touch with family and friends, and sometimes, the computer is the only way. For those who are interested, this is a snapshot of our lives.
Chris and I have been married for six years in Oct. He is Makenzie's step-father, but that is not a word we use in our house. He has helped me raise her since she was 8 months old, and we haven't looked back since. He is a great husband and father with a big heart. He LOVES football, watching Auburn and coaching little league! He has a new company, www.squadmedia.net That along with his full-time job and coaching, he is a little busier than I like. It will soon pass, and I will have him back. Makenzie is our 8 yr old. She is into everything girly. She recently had a spa/princess birthday with a hot-pink limo(thanks to daddy Michael) That day was the talk of third grade! She is a cowboys all-star buckaroo. They are a competitive cheer team. I'll keep everyone up to date on her competitions when they start. Madelyn or Maddie is our new precious baby girl. She is 8 months old and will light up the room with her beautiful smile! She looks just like her daddy! She is into everything now. I can barely keep up with her. She has been crawling since early August and is about to walk already! I feel like she was born yesterday. Her birth was such a special time in our lives. It's sad to see her grow up so fast! I just stopped nursing her, and for those who have breastfed, you know, it is such an emotionally difficult thing to stop doing. Before, she had to be with me, now anyone can take care of her. My days usually consist of helping Makenzie get off to school, taking care of Maddie , dinner, Cowboys, and bedtime (not very exciting, but completely rewarding). I work weekend nights at CHS on the surgery floor. I love my work and how meaningful it is, but it is so hard to leave my kids at night. Chris does a great job, but it's not mommy. Also, try going to church after working all night. Sometimes, all I want to do is crawl in my bed and not get up till time to go back to work! By the way, Makenzie was saved on Aug.24th. She will be baptized on 9/28/08. I will post pics when that day comes.
This is our daily life for now. I will post more later.
