Brooklyn

The last couple weeks of May we had a fun house guest, a little sweet 17 month old girl named Brooklyn.  Her dad was off at Basic Training in the Navy and her mom was hospitalized for a while on strict bed rest and we were lucky enough to get Brooklyn!  The kids absolutely loved having a little girl around to hug and play with.  Luke and Brooklyn got along fabulously and it was always fun to see the older kids and Brooklyn playing, reading books and laughing together.  She was a trooper and took our crazy schedules in stride, adapting so well from being an only child to one of 6.  It's probably good she couldn't talk too much to tell her mom about all the crazy adventures we had together :-)

Everything worked out perfectly for this wonderful family and Brooklyn became a proud big sister herself in July.  A week later their sweet family headed off to California for their next great adventure. We will sure will miss you guys, especially Brooklyn and her sweet hugs, goofy smiles and funny machine gun like laughter noises!
