Who's on First?


Yeah, we made it through the summer... another summer gone and another school year to look forward to.

Well, Brooklyn is on first today, first grade that is.... The first day of first grade! That only happens once (or should only happen once). She was SO excited. Who wouldn't be? She gets to escape brotherly teasing and hang out with big kids at school all day long. Her teacher Mrs. Strother seems great, and Brooklyn already knows kids in her class from last year. Everything should be fun! As we walked through the hallway to the first grade hallway we passed many other teachers (music teacher, prinicpal, and more...) and Brooklyn says hi to each one as we go by and they remember her and say hi... she has really blossomed since she started school last year. It has given her a new confidence and independence. We are so excited for her!

Pursuit of Happiness...

Brooklyn and I got to take a trip to California to visit family! We had so much fun between the broadway show Wicked, "witch" was SPECTACULAR, and Disneyland!!! We also found out Brooklyn has a hidden talent... Hoola-Hooping!!! She is awesome!


The most fun had by Brooklyn was playing with her cousin Maddie, who she hasn't seen in over a year. She also loves to cuddle with her Grammy and had fun playing a game with Grampy! It's hard to connect with family very often when we live on the other side of the continent...AKA Texas! Here are some shots of Brooklyn and her cousins at the Happiest Place on Earth.
