Love!
From Aug 20, 2024 I love you this much times 200! (Arms open wide as far as she could reach) – Brooklyn I miss you so much little girl! Thinking of you today (and every day.)
Birthday
You turned 8 last Sunday. Daddy wouldn’t let me talk to you and ask you what you wanted, but sent me a picture of the doll you wanted. I have the doll for you and a soft purple sweatshirt that says Brooklyn on it. I bought a little pink cake and a candle that has
Slide
Today I brought over Christmas gifts and took you and Z to Walmart to exchange a gift and spend your allowance. We went to McDonald’s and played in the play place. You wanted to keep going down the slide with me. You made sure to announce to the other kids that I’m in my 50s!
Success!
I finally got the app working on my phone so I can update your blog. I get so overwhelmed by what I used. To do so easily. It’s like my brain doesn’t understand things or solves problems like it once did. It’s super frustrating. I just heard from you dad that he’s going to allow
Fever
I just spent the last 2 days with you since you were home with a fever. You only have days until your 7th birthday. I love how you are so comfortable with me. I love that I get snuggles and hugs and how you like to help me cook whenever I’m in the kitchen. I
Thanksgiving
I’ve not been faithful in updating this blog… I apologize. I leave in a few days to go to St. Croix to be with Todd. It’s so hard for me to have to choose where to be for Christmas, but I get to spend so much time with you, I hope that you will understand.
Pumpkin Patch
Today we all went to some pumpkin patches. We saw and petted so many animals and then we got to take wagons to go pick out pumpkins. It was such a wonderful day, but it was so hot. You kept saying how hot you were. My favorite thing of the whole day was how you
Pigtails
I’ve been putting the front of your hair in little pigtails this week. You suck your thumb and hold onto your right one while you watch cartoons. Your hair is getting so much longer and you are sitting still and tolerating it being combed. Today I got the lines nice and straight and the sides
Summer
I’ve gotten to spend so much time with you and the other kids this summer! Today we all walked to Brandt-Quirk Park to play on the playground. You insisted on bringing a huge stick back with you. It was so hot today that we needed to stop in the shade twice and sit a minute
Tooth
You lost your first tooth! You lost it at your mom’s house a few days ago, but I noticed it right away. You and Z have been playing with Owen, Zoey and Lilly all day out in the sun as if there were no time. I’ve made sure to spray everyone down with sunscreen and
