Praise the Lord!!!

A major praise! We have been praying ever since my parents moved to Indianapolis that one day they would be able to move closer to home. Today that prayer was answered. My dad accepted a job as the 3rd shift supervisor at a company in Fulton, MO which is just outside Columbia. It is exactly 2 hours from his plant to our house! I stand in awe tonight of God's amazing timing!

Yet another trip to Indy!

I have been reprimanded that I did not get these pictures posted quick enough. :-) Last week we flew to Indy to visit Nana & Pops and drove down to Lexington, KY to see Joel's Grandpa and his wife Cookie. We stopped in Louisville on the way to Grandpa's to tour the Louisville Slugger museum. It was an awesome trip - one of the best yet.
Nana & Pops - thanks for the wonderful hospitality and playing with Brooke so much. We miss you guys and are praying about the interview!!!
Grandpa & Cookie - it was wonderful to see you both again. We miss you already! Thanks for the fishing gear!!!!

Shoe Fetish!

Last night Brooke was playing in her room and I walked in to find her pulling all of her shoes out of their basket!!! Never underestimate a girl and her shoes!!! :-)
This morning, Brooke was playing in the bathroom with a toy...I walked out and walked back in to find her ripping apart a kleenex she had found. When she saw me she threw it all up in the air and looked up at me with a totally innocent face!!!

8 months old

Yesterday Brooke turned 8 months old. We had family here and took some pics at Unity Village!

Ian's baseball game

This summer we have spent several evenings at Legacy Park watching our friend Ian Simpkin's play baseball. Brooke is a BIG fan. Last night was Ian's last game, so I took the camera and caught some cool shots. Ian even got to pitch part of one inning! Good job, Ian, we're proud of you!

St. Charles

Brooke & Mommy met Nana & Pops in St. Charles for a fun-filled weekend of shopping, walking, site-seeing, playing and laughing...here are some highlights!

7 months today

Today Brooke is 7 months old! The last month simply flew by and sooooo much happened. Brooke now crawls, talks, screams (well, that's not new) and is just starting to show interest in pulling herself up. Thank you Aunt Rosa for the pretty green and white dress!
