When you are having fun! How did two weeks fly by so quickly? Mckenna is now 6 weeks old! We have done a ton in the last two weeks... I will try not to write too much!
Halloween was spent in Iowa. Mckenna didn't get dressed up as anything but she did wear her 1st Halloween onsie all day on Friday. Matt carved two pumpkins for her, one said "Mckenna Halloween '09" and the other was a simple, cute face. He worked so hard on them even though we were not here to put them outside! What a great dad! 
Iowa was great! Mckenna did quite well on her first 5 hour car ride. We stopped once for Matt and I to use the restroom and another time to feed her, other than that she slept the whole way! We celebrated Jim's birthday with him on Friday night. Saturday mom threw such a nice shower for Mckenna! She had the house all decorated for the fall and had some nice fall treats made! It was so nice to see everyone! She slept the whole day and believe it or not she really slept pretty well that night! Sunday we had breakfast with Mom and Dad and then we stole Mom and headed home!It is such a blessing to have the mother that I have. We had such a nice week together. She was a HUGE help to Matt and I. It was nice to have a third person to hold Mckenna when we needed to get some things done! We miss having her around, it is amazing how fast I got used to seeing her everyday and how much I miss her now! Mom and I took Mckenna up to school on Wednesday and shared her with my team teachers, the sixth grade teachers, the principals, the students, and many other people who crossed our path that day. She of course slept the whole time! The rest of the week we went out to lunch a few times, went to Target a few times, went to the mall, and relaxed!
Dad made the long trip on Friday to pick Mom up... and to spend some more time with "kenna benna"! They babysat for us on Friday night so we could go to a birthday party. True to the new Matt and Jenna we only stayed out for about 2 hours! :) Saturday Grandma and Grandpa Lucas came over for a BBQ and we enjoyed the 70+ degree weather! We were sad to see Grandma and Grandpa VonBon leave on Sunday!I will return to work next Monday and I am not looking forward to it! I will miss my days with Mckenna. Her smiles in the morning and our naps in the afternoons!
Here's to another week! Love you all... I promise to update again this weekend! :)

Thinking of you, Jenna.
The photo of Mckenna, totally asleep on your dad's shoulder, brought tears to my eyes. I can only try to imagine how much he & the rest of you truly love, love, love Mckenna. It was a joy to see you & Mckenna (your mom, Laura, and Marge, too!) Take care.
