Fairies!

Cousin Lilly came to play and we had a dress up day! Here are the pics of the two cute little fairies...

7 months old!

Our darling girl is 7 months old. Time certainly does fly! I am enjoying the excitement and love that she brings to our lives. It is amazing how she seems to make EVERYTHING better! I am so glad that I am fortunate enough to be home with her as much as I am, because I know I could never get these precious moments back.

A few new pics:

Sunny days...

We've enjoyed the unseasonably warm weather we've been having in Texas lately, and have taken some great walks. Brooke now has 2 teeth, is a crawling machine, & absolutely LOVES pulling herself up into a standing position, on anything she can find. Favorite toys include Mommy's pretty picture frames, the remote, magazines, Daddy's cell phone, and the X-box joystick...so much for all of the fun toys she got for Christmas!

This is a precious video of Brooke crawling, in her tutu. Enjoy!

6 Month Pics

These are a few of the 6 month pictures that I recently took of Brooke. She is growing so big, and learning so much...every day brings more joy and new surprises.

The new year is off to a great start. I will start back up at Lonestar College, teaching English, on the 20th. This semester, I will only be teaching on Monday and Wednesday nights. Our "blessing-of-a-babysitter" Sarah, will be back to help us out, and Brad and Brooke will have their "special Daddy-Daughter time" again. I am anxious to get back to teaching, as a "seasoned" professor!

We enjoyed seeing EVERYONE over the holidays, and have made a resolution to spend more time with those that we love, in 2010. Please don't hesitate to stop in, if you are in the area!

New Year, New Milestones!

It's a whole new year, and we cannot wait to see Brooke reaching new milestones.

She is really enjoying her experiences with table food, and so far, she likes everything! Sweet potatoes were new this week...if you look closely, you may be able to see her new tooth (bottom left).

These pics are from New Year's Eve...we were watching fireworks. Brooke barely blinked! I think she really enjoyed it!

Coming soon...a video of Brooke CRAWLING!

Brooke's 1st Christmas!

We had a VERY blessed 1st Christmas with our beautiful daughter. We woke up and opened presents, got dressed and went to church, had a nice family breakfast, and then spent a great day having family time...just the 3 of us. It was a wonderful day.

God has blessed us SO much this past year, and we look forward to a new year of blessings, special moments, challenges, surprises, and God's unchanging grace and love. To all of the special people in our lives, both far and near, God bless! Have a wonderful 2010! We hope to see you soon...

Love,

Brad, Jenn & Brooke!

Christmas w/the Davises...

We had the Davis Family Christmas on Christmas Eve, this year. We had a great time seeing almost the ENTIRE Davis family. Aunt Kristen cooked a wonderful meal, and everyone enjoyed opening a mountain of gifts. Brooke was hugged and kissed all day long, and enjoyed tasting mashed potatoes! Here are the pictures from the day...

Sweet Seven Cousins!!!

The Wied family grandkid count is up to 7, now that Brooke is here! We thought these shirts would make some really cute pictures!

Early Christmas Celebrations...

With the holidays upon us, Brooke has really enjoyed some quality time w/ friends & family...and a few presents, too! We celebrated with Aunt Megan and Uncle Walt (Brooke's Godparents) on Friday the 18th, and then celebrated with the ENTIRE Wied family the next day. Brooke got LOTS of fun toys and a beautiful charm bracelet! To be honest, though, she really liked the wrapping paper best! Here are just a few pictures of the fun!
