Way Too Long

Gosh!!! I haven't kept up with my blog to say the least. So much has happened in our lives since the last time I wrote. Just a few -- Brooks turned 1 year old and is not the big 15 months :), we decided to settle down in Franklin, Tn and bought a house in November 2011. Chase passed away last year and Lucy has cancer. Lucy went though a major surgery to remove a large tumor. She is doing pretty good considering everything she has been through. When I glanced at this blog, I realized why I started this in the first place. Our little doggies are on the very first page. Now one has passed and the other is enjoying her life while we still have her around. Time goes by all too fast doesn't it?

I am going to do much better.... and write again.

Here are a few pictures of the most joyous little guy anyone could ask for. He is such a trooper. These pictures are from a visit to Michigan just a few weeks ago. We drove approx. 9-10 hours and he was great! The stops at Chucky Cheese helped. I think Jon and I know where every Chucky Cheese is from here to Michigan. There are other pictures too-

I am blessed............

The Cutest Pictures You Will Ever See

Today Brooks went to Sears and had his first pictures taken. His Daddy (Jon) picked out his outfit at Gymboree. Little Brooks did a great job and didn't cry once. We had a great time as a family and it is a memory I am sure we won't forget! We love him so!

Amazing

I have not updated in a while, well, a very long long time. I have so many pictures on my phone and camera that I don't even know where to begin.

First of all, our little amazing Brooks is growing every single day. He has such a personality and a million faces depending on whats going on. There aren't words to describe how much joy he brings to our lives. I am with him everyday while I work. He will just sit in my lap and he acts like he knows what I am doing. He loves his swing too.

There are so many things that he has discovered in just the past few weeks. A few are the doggies (he watches them walk around and Lucy licks him), cartoons, his hands, his mirror on his play mat. I am certain he is thinking about how good looking he is :) He laughs a lot. When I talk to him he looks at me and just laughs and raises his eyebrows. I know he wants to talk back :)

I am afraid that he is going to grow up so quickly. I can't believe he will be 3 months old in a little over a week. He is a miracle. We are so blessed. We love our little man more than anything in the world. We love you Brooks.

We went to the doctor yesterday for our "Little Man's" check up. Everything looked very good. He is head down. He is getting ready to come into the world and meet us all. Only 50 more days until the due date. We can't wait!

Baby Class

This last weekend we went to the Labor and Delivery Baby Class. You can see Jon above wearing the dad empathy belt. It weights 35 pounds and gives the dads an idea of what the moms feel like. :) He was a great sport. The class taught us a lot and reminded us to take care of each other through the entire new stage in our life. I would recommend it to anyone. The best part is the massages that the dads give :) We are taking an infant CPR class and "How to Take Care of Baby" class. I figure it can't hurt. Thank you Jon for being such a good sport. I know you are going to be such a good daddy.
