Happy Halloween!

Brooklyn enjoyed her first halloween as a skunk! Her Lil' Stinker costume was absolutely adorable and we were proud to show her off. Our halloween festivities included Zoo Boo at Como Zoo with friends and trick-or-treating with Brooklyn's cousins.

Visiting Wisconsin family and friends

We enjoyed a nice October weekend with our family and friends in Wisconsin. Brooklyn was a hit as she met many of our friends and was showered with adorable gifts.

Celebrating six years

Mike and I celebrated our six year wedding anniversary on October 9. While we missed Brooklyn, we enjoyed a nice dinner at Yarusso's and drinks with Terry and Jennifer after. Thank you Grandma Linda for watching our precious girl while we celebrated.

Baptism

Brooklyn joined the Christian faith on Sunday, September 26 at St. James Lutheran Church. Pastor Stadler performed the ceremony among our family and friends. We are so lucky to have her sponsors, Anna and Aaron, to be a part of her life and provide her guidance and support throughout her life. We are especially thankful to all that were able to be a part of Brooklyn's special day.

Grandma Donna visits

Grandma Donna came from Florida to meet her first grandchild and help out mom and dad as needed. She was anxiously awaiting Brooklyn's arrival. Her guidance, assistance with Brooklyn (especially at night) and help around the house were greatly appreciated. It'll be hard to have Grandma so far away as Brooklyn continues to grow and change but we're looking forward to a trip to Florida and sending photos.

We're headed home

On Monday, September 13, we were discharged from the hospital. Brooklyn and Mandy are doing well. Mom and dad are adjusting to life with Brooklyn and loving every minute with her.

Mom and dad are excited to bring Brooklyn home and have her and Josie meet.
