Missing Granny

It has been a rough past couple of weeks in our family. My Granny was put in the hospital and then passed away on Saturday. Brook was her first great-grandchild and they had a special bond. She was diagnosed with Parkinsons disease a few years ago and she hasnt been the same since.

Here is my Granny rocking Brook after she was born!

Here is another picture of Brook and Granny this past year.

This was from Halloween when we went trick-or-treating. Granny's house was the only place we stopped with our little zebra. Granny has had this Halloween shirt since I was a little girl.

Brook has not been much of a talker.......she hasnt switched to English yet, but she was able to start calling Granny...Nanny during the many visits at the hospital. It was so sweet to see her kiss her night night each night when we left and say Nanny to her.

I am so glad that my daughter got to know such an important person in our family!

Christmas Card Carousel

Our photographer did a wonderful job capturing my beautiful family this year! We love to take outdoor country scene pictures so this year we chose a feed store near us! We took our family picture in the hay barn. Brook could hear the goats baaing behind the barn and she was having a fit to go see them. We finally had to tell her they were sleeping so she would sit still.

This is the front of our 5x7 linen card.

Of course all Brook wanted to do was play with the goats! Darla captured some great photos of her with them. She would live in a barn if she could!

And this is the back!

Merry Christmas to all! Thank you Darla for doing an awesome job again this year!

Its Snowing!

It never snows here. I cant believe it snowed tonight! Brook thought it was the greatest thing ever....besides any type of animal! We played outside for just a bit and then watched through the patio door.

I helped her make a little snowball to throw at Daddy!

Brook loved her little mini snowman! She was very proud of it.
