She's Off the Charts!

Brooklyn had her two month wellness checkup - and she's... Almost as long as Daddy!!! Brooklyn is never going to hear the end of this. Ever since we went to the doctor for her two month checkup, we have been bragging to everyone about how she is off the charts in height and in the 95 th percentile for weight and head circumference . I can just see us telling people when she's 15, "Brooklyn was off the charts in height was she was a baby!". I think we'll leave out the weight stat though (; She is growing so much though, my nickname is "The Creamery". We had some good friends come into town with their four month old, and she is a pound and a half heaver and longer than her! Her chunky thighs and double chin are so cute! She is smiling all the time now, and slowly figuring out how to use her hands. She has grasped some things and has started to be able to move around when she's on her tummy. She is basically the perfect baby (I guess we are a ...

Thanksgiving 2007

We hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! Tennessee is absolutely gorgeous in November! I've never experienced weather like this! People are still eating lunch outside on patios and it's nearly December! We had three Thanksgiving feasts this year! One at McCallie's dining hall, one at D-Daddy and Nana's in Georgia, and one at the Fridays! D-Daddy and Nana put on an incredible feast for the whole family down in Ila Georgia! There were about 15 people at the lunch/dinner, but they made enough for 50! When we got there, there were 4 pecan and 4 pumpkin pies piled high and D-Daddy made enough Butter-beans for an army - yet Trey was still able to finish them off! The day we left, D-Daddy was up early to make yet another batch so that we could take some home for Trey and Logan to feast on! The Clark's are examples of pure love and generosity and we love them! When we first arrived, we got to see Braden, Trey's cousin JoAnna's little boy - who is also off ...

She's Just Going to get Cuter!

Here are some pictures of Trey and I as babies - who do you think Brooklyn looks more like? Considering how cute Trey and I were as babies, I think that Brooklyn may even get cuter than she already is! (If that is possible!)

My Thanksgivings!

I am in the most beautiful part of the world right now! I can't believe the amazing colors of fall here! I am so blessed and thought that now that it is Thanksgiving, I can share my Thanks and gratitude on my blog! I just have so much to be thankful for right now in my life! For my gorgeous and wonderful baby girl, my amazing husband, for my incredible parents, siblings and in laws, great friends and the opportunities we have been blessed with now and throughout my whole life! I feel so blessed to have the family I have. My parents and siblings are truly the best! I am grateful for their steady love and support and examples of goodness, excellence, adoration and faith! I'm grateful for my extended family and their love, support, interest in our lives and examples. Spending time with cousins, Grandparents and now in-laws are true highlights in my life - may those times continue! I'm grateful for my friends and the strength they have given me throughout my life I have been...

Trey's Team is Undefeated!

Congratulations to McCallie Junior Varsity's Football team ! They were undefeated this Season and I am proud to say that my husband was the head Defensive-back Coach! Trey had fun coaching, but watching those boys play gave him the desire to get back out on the field! We are TRUE BLUE ! We are having fun here with our own swimming pool, racquetball court, track and wieght room to play in on Saturdays!

She's Smiling!

Brooklyn is getting to be more and more fun by the day! She is smiling all the time and very responsive. Judy was the first to make her laugh . She loves her NaiNai (We think she already knows who spoils her rotten and will give her anything she ever wants - and therefor who to suck up to!) We went to Time Out for Women this past weekend in Atlanta and it was so awesome! Brooklyn, Judy and I went to both the Friday and Saturday session and stayed at a Hotel Friday night in Atlanta. Friday she leaked, then had a huge blowout where poop was up to her neck right as we arrived at the conference, but other than that she was perfect as always. For those who don't know, TOFW is like EFY for Moms. There were many great song-writers and authors of the church were there to basically inspire us and make us feel great! As you can tell, Brooklyn had fun too! Here are some of the cute outfits that have been given to her. Thanks Barnards and Doves and Judy and everyone! Help! I h...
