Baby Makiah

Here is cute little Makiah in August, 2008. She was almost 6 weeks old. This was right before Jessica left for Indiana. Doesn't she have a beautiful smile? It was one of the first times that she tried that. We loved having her in our home for a whole week! We miss all of the Batemans very much!

Gardner Village in August of 2008

Shannon, Jessica and I took the kids to Gardner Village in August right before Jessica left for Indiana. We walked around and enjoyed the shops but the best part was the petting zoo. Jillian, Sophie and Evan loved it. It was fun to watch them react to seeing the cute animals. I knew that that Jessica and her family would be gone soon (Dallas was already gone) so I treasured this time I had with all of them. What a fun day!

Jillian really looked forward to riding on the ponies. She chose the biggest one.

Evan was a little more apprehensive. But he stayed on the whole time! Makiah is there, too. Can you see her?

Sophie loved the ponies but she wanted to get back to the petting zoo. It was a fun day!
