Where's Brooklyn?

One of Brooklyn's new games is to quietly hide under a blanket and wait for someone to find her. She's normally very patient in waiting to be discovered but in this clip you can hear her giving a clue.

No Longer An Intern

Kirsten officially finished her first year of medical residency. One year down; two to go.

Back with the Boat

We were finally able to bring out our small row boat to where we live. Brooklyn enjoyed her first boat ride. She wanted to push off and do the rowing.

First Birthday

Brooklyn had a great birthday. It's hard to believe she's already one.

Lake Erie

We were in the Cleveland area to visit Kyle's parents and his siblings that were in town from Alaska and Utah. We had a fun time and Brooklyn got to meet nine cousins and two aunts and uncles. It was indeed a full house. On Saturday we stopped at a local beach to show Brooklyn Lake Erie. When she saw the water she immediately jumped out of our arms and wanted to walk in the waves. After attending Church on Sunday we stopped by the cemetery where Kyle's brother is buried and took a family photo beside his grave marker.

Waiting at Hospital for Mommy

During Kirsten's 30-hour shift over the weekend, Kyle and Brooklyn decided to visit her hoping she'd have a break around dinner time. She was extra busy with patients but Brooklyn didn't mind waiting with her favorite fish.

Happy Birthday Kyle

Sorry you all missed out on Kirsten's yellow cake with her signature chocolate frosting.

First Family BBQ

We purchased a small $10 grill the other day and had our first BBQ of the year on our patio. The corn was especially good.
