Ignore for a second that Brooklyn slides right off the end of this slide like it's been greased and pay attention to the determined way she brushes off her hands. I felt bad that I missed her, but had I caught her, I wouldn't have seen her do the hand thing! Ignore for a second that Brooklyn slides right off the end of...Read More

We went to Lake's 2nd birthday party at Lakewood Pavilion this past weekend, and Brooklyn found a slide that was just her size. p.s. I absolutely adored her outfit - those boots were a Christmas present from Aunt Rachel and they just MADE the outfit. http://www.blogger.com/img/gl.photo.gifAdd Image ...Read More

I discovered by accident that Brooklyn knows her name! I mean, she responds to it, so I was pretty sure she KNEW, but I had never before specifically asked her what her name was. So, randomly, I did, and she answered with such absolute certainty that I was taken aback! Awesome! ...Read More

My life is my family. They are so important to me. Over Labor Day, several generations gathered in one spot: Brooklyn, Me, my mom and her mom - I am so blessed to have these ladies in my life. ...Read More

Once again at the Farm, once again with the orange pool! This time, neither B nor I waited until the water was at any certain level, we just hopped in. Brooklyn took every opportunity to threaten people with a good soaking from her hose! While she wasn't shushing innocent passers-by, that is. And she always loves to have a good conversation with DD,...Read More

I left the bedroom for just a second and come back to find this - the most hysterical of sleeping positions - for both my favorite peoples. ...Read More

My bro Josh, Brooklyn's favorite uncle, went native this weekend at the Farm. Something about holding guns and shooting at coke cans makes him want to shave his head and run around shirtless. Ok, so at the Farm, everyone runs around with the fewest pieces of clothing we can get away with - cause it's HOT - but Josh gets extreme. While working...Read More

The Dennis' headed south to the Farm for Labor Day as we are wont to do on holidays. And I was delighted to discover that Brooklyn's hair is now long enough to sport pigtails! And even more delighted to see just HOW cute she looked with them.And what goes great with pigtails? Why, corn on the cob, of course! We have discovered that...Read More

One evening, Brooklyn fell asleep on the way home and stayed asleep while we took off her clothes and got her ready for bed. She looked so LONG stretched out on our bed! ...Read More

I realize I could give Brooklyn a bath using the WHOLE tub, but it would take twice as long to fill it up, and she gets the biggest kick out of her little blue tub. So, we continue to use it - when she isn't just hopping in the shower with me, that is. Showers (showa as she calls them) are so much...Read More
