...and there she goes!

Brooklyn's been mastering her walking skills over the last month but has really taken off this week. We're so proud of our baby girl. She's getting so big (too fast!).

Thanksgiving 2011

This year we spent Thanksgiving with family in St. James, MN. Brooklyn enjoyed trying lots of new foods and rocked her silver boots. It was great to introduce her to some of our extended family and spend time with Uncles Paul and Garrett and Great Grandma June.

We have much to be thankful for this year.

Oh, how fun!

Nothing is safe in our home anymore. She's into everything...including the toilet paper.

I think I can...

Brooklyn is getting closer and closer to walking. Now all she wants to do is be on her feet. We can only imagine the messes she'll create when she gets quicker. Eeck!

Girls week/end

Brooklyn and I joined Grandma Donna, Dina and Brianna on a girls weekend -- mother/daughter -- in Treasure Island, FL. The weather was beautiful making it easy to spend lots of time outside. We enjoyed daily walks on the beach, mini golf, playing games, vegging out, shelling, and watching the sunset.

Thanks for a great time, ladies!
