Who's the new kid???

We had a great time at the birthday celebration for Brad's granparents this past weekend. Here's a cute shot of the five great-grandchildren. The newest addition is Kensington, Ashley's baby (some of you may remember Ashley as the blonde bridesmaid in our wedding). As you can see, Brooke was far more interested in having a baby in her lap than in looking at the camera! As she was pointing, she said, "BayBEE, bayBEE!!"







You can see me at the side -- good thing, because I caught Kensie on her way down! Parker and Ella are in the picture, too. Brooke and Ella had the best time playing in the bathtub together -- fully clothed, with no water. They thought it was a riot.

Brenna, the oldest cousin in the back, spent the night at our house this past weekend. She's about to turn eleven and Brooke adores her. It was a lot of fun and reminded me of the good old days as a Chickasaw counselor. We went shopping, taught her about architecture (she wants to be an architect), did a craft, shrunk potato chip bags in the oven, taught her how to do pull-ups on Brad's bar (which she loved), and stayed up until midnight talking about God. She's a really great girl. We're planning to have her back again for more fun.
