A couple of weekends ago, Dad, Mom, Brother, Kristy and Nora came for the night, and Gpa and Gma came for part of Saturday. Craig and I were looking at a house and wanted Dad and Gpa's opinion on a couple of construction issues.
We have a book of Alaskan wildlife that we got on our honeymoon, and so Dad goes through it and Brooklyn names all of the animals (boo for caribou, deer, puppy for wolf, moose, birdie, etc.)
We went to supper in SB and Nora and Brooklyn rode the pony. Brooklyn wasn't too impressed with it while it was actually going.
Mom brought the quilt she made for Baby #2. She was taking a picture of it and Brooklyn had to hop in too. Why her shorts are pulled up to her chest on one side, I have no idea. She also looks a little stoned. As for me, the camera adds 80 pounds, doesn't it?
Cute lil Nora Badora.

I bought Brooklyn a little picnic table, and she 'helped' me put it together. The guys were getting annoyed watching me put it together by myself.
The girls at the table. Brooklyn loves it.
Brooklyn is a little obsessed with Papa's 'owie'. One of the other little kids at daycare accidentally smashed her finger in the door last week, so her and Papa have 'matching' owies.

What Dad's finger looks like with no stitches and the dead skin peeled off.
Brooklyn LOVES babies. Here is her hugging a little one Mom has.
Kisses for 'Damma'.
This is the ultimate show-off video. She sings the K.T. Tunstall song, 'Black Horse & A Cherry Tree', counts to five, and then says her ABCs. She loves that song. She'll walk around saying...'no,no,no, you, me, woo-hoo'. If you don't know what song I'm talking about, click here, scroll down to the album called 'Eye to the Telescope', and then listen to the sample of track #4.

Here is Brooklyn and Nora enjoying the new table.

Wow, what a smartie singing her ABC's and her 123's. That song is cute too. Bridger wasn't talking until he was 2 1/2 after he had his ear surgery. Sounds scared him right after the surgery but within a week he said "ready, set, go". Amazing how we remember all the milestones for the kids. Good job Booklyn.

Those videos are priceless and we loved them!! I can't believe she can sing her ABCs...she is definitely advanced :) and cute too. Tell your dad we are thinking of him.
