Thanks to all my family and friends for being with us on Brooklyn's special day!

We Love You All!

Brooklyn's First Birthday!!!

Brooklyn turned the BIG ONE on 6-11-09! It's hard to believe a year has already come and gone...this makes me both happy and sad. I came across this poem and thought it summed up how I felt about Brooklyn's big day!

It's your very first birthday, baby,

One candle on your cake;

Proud parents stare in wonder

At each new move you make.
We join in celebration,

As this special date arrives,

For baby has brought pleasure

Into all our lives.
We look forward now to seeing

How you progress and grow,

From the cute and tiny infant

You were one year ago.
So dig into your icing;

Enjoy your presents, too.

The reason for this day

Is a special person--you!

Happy 1st Birthday Brooklyn! I love you with all my heart!

B's 1st Birthday Present

Aunt Gail and Uncle Mark sent B an early birthday present last week. Devon was itching to open it up for her so I let him. She got an adorable little people birthday house. She loves carrying the house around and pretending the lil dog inside is a pacifier! Thanks guys!!!

Walkin on the Wild Side

Well, today when I picked Brooklyn up from school she proceeded to walk down the hall to the next class room. Yes, we have a walker on our hands! Here are a few videos for your viewing pleasure...

Long Time No Post

I'm sorry I have been such a bad blogger lately! I finished finals last week, my brand new laptop stopped functioning correctly (it will take 4-6 weeks to diagnose and fix the problem) and my desktop computer is super slow. Devon is doing great. He is finishing up 5th grade. He will be going to basketball day camp and then church camp for a week in La Grange over the summer. He is super excited! Brooklyn turned 11 months last Monday! She is definitely keeping us on our toes. She is venturing out with her walking skills and should have it mastered in no time! Yesterday, she (with no fear) climbed up the entire stair case at my dad's. Yikes! Her hair is finally growing and is starting to curl up at the ends. I'm thinking she will probably have soft curls as her hair continues to grow or at least I hope! Here are a few pictures from yesterday...

Happy Mother's Day
