Brooklyn learned a few sounds that we want to share with you. Her little mind is a sponge and we are quickly trying to give her interesting things to soak up!One of my favorite things about this video is that when Brooklyn hears the video being played, she still immediately answers Kyle's questions. Almost as if she's trying to say them faster than...Read More
For you stat lovers among us, I bring you good tidings. At Brooklyn's 15 month dr. visit on Monday, she weighed in at 22.2 pounds and stretched to a staggering height of 31.75 inches. I must confess, I believe approximately .25 of that height was her little shoes which the nurse did not ask me to remove.... Anyway, she is in the 50th...Read More

Did someone say there was a flood coming??? We are so prepared! Thanks to a life vest from Paul Carson, Brooklyn has never been more water-safe! As today marks the 15th month of her life, we felt there was no better time to try this puppy on and get cozy with it. Brooklyn liked it so much she trotted off to find a...Read More
This is how mornings begin on Goshen. With bedhead and our daily Bible study. I realize the first picture is slightly blurry, but it also best captures the full fuzz flare that is Brooklyn's hair in the mornings.She never seems to mind, though. So we traipse downstairs into our breakfast room which is so bright and welcoming in the mornings. We sit with...Read More
There are days that just don't call for pants. This was one of those days. Oh, it started out with pants, but as the moments passed, we both realized that there was just no need. It was best to just let the legs loose to feel the cool breezes on little thighs and run around unabashedly half-nudie.In a moment of candor, I must...Read More
This past weekend (May 12), the Goshenites headed to Fayetteville to partake of another UofA graduation - this time, my brother Michael. The major plus of going to Fayetteville is getting to spend quality time with our dear, dear friends, the Walkers and the Cate's. Becky & Greg's kiddos, Mia and Gavin are just fabulous and accept Brooklyn into the mix as though...Read More
Daddy took B down the lane and to the lake which clearly delighted our little gal. She proudly squeals and shows off her toofers.This is how we walk around, walk around, walk around...this is how we walk around, so early in the morning...We are so fortunate to live a stone's throw away from two of life's greatest things: a huge lake and a...Read More
Melissa, the beautiful bride, lingers in the sanctuary while we prepare for some photos. Chad didn't see her before the wedding, so it was exciting to check the halls and make sure he wasn't around.The bridesmaids take our positions for the photographer. What the pics fail to show is a single one of us gals hoisting up the bodice of our dresses. Which...Read More
In typical Dennis...dare I even utter the word "fashion...Chad, Josh and Michael roll out the style.Josh cuts loose while Chad pooches out his infamous belly (you have to see it to believe it)...and Michael strikes a VOGUE pose...all in the confines of a bowling alley.No strippers or untoward behavior for these gents. Just smelly, slippery shoes, fashion that ONLY works with a bowling...Read More
The Rehearsal Dinner was at Grandpa's Catfish and it was a feast! Most of Melissa's family was there, and I think around 80 people attended.Out of nowhere, I felt led to toast the happy couple - and surprisingly, wasn't a bit nervous.Josh led the toasts as the best man - followed by Lauren and Marylou (Melissa's sister) as co- maids of honor. ...Read More
Meant to post pictures earlier, but man, has time gotten away from me! A week and a half has already passed since the wedding, and I am way behind on my blog! I have been working on my photo album for Brooklyn which requires that I get pictures printed on real paper, and that always takes so much longer than to upload to...Read More
Here we are in all our finery - in the post-wedding pictures! Rick snapped this shot while we all posed. Brooklyn looked angelic in her pink, smocked dress, and she was an angel during the wedding! She slept on her daddy's shoulder up until the point when everyone clapped at the big kiss - then she woke up and was ready to party...Read More
