My mom once described Macy as "pure sunshine". The other day we were at the post office, waiting in line with one other person, a big, scruffy looking guy who did not look like he was in a very good mood. Macy smiled her biggest smile at him and said, "Hi!" I'm sure he heard her, but he chose to ignore her. I felt a little hurt for my sweet girl, but she didn't give up. She said hi over and over...and over. Each time he turned away to try to avoid eye contact with her, she turned that much further toward him to MAKE SURE he saw her. He never did end up acknowledging her or saying hello. But that didn't stop her from waving "bye bye" to him when he left, wearing that same happy smile. Maybe it sounds a tad overly dramatic, but I think this is going to be Macy's contribution to the world. She's going to be happy. And she's going to invite other people to be happy too. And even if they decide not to, she's going to be happy anyway.
Thanks, Mace, for the happiest year of our lives. Can't wait for many, many more.

holy hawt baby! When did Mace get so gorgeous?! I know she's always been a babe, but good green beans shmandz. Love the pictures. You are a bloody brilliant photog. And yes, I left of the "rapher" to sound cooler. Cuz that's how we roll.
And I love that cranky man story. What a grump. But go Macy for persevering. She's a great missionary already. :) A missionary of sunshine for the Lord. hehe.
So glad to see you get your blog on! You need to step up your internet presence game girl.
