Helping in the yard...

Here are a few photos of Brooke helping out in the yard. She loves to help her daddy. She has no problem digging in and getting dirty. She's a good mix between between being a "girly girl" and being a "tomboy".....she likes it all!! Needless to say we had to go shopping for new shoes after this day.

Back Again!

Well, I'm back and trying out this whole blogging thing again. Hopefully I can keep it going longer this time. I wanted to start blogging again to help my family stay in touch with what's going on with us in Douglasville. It's been tough on us..being 5 hours away from my parents, Cece and Pops, that anything we can do to connect makes life much better.

Brooke misses her Cece and Pops and talks about them often. She's always doing the cutest and funniest things too....I wish we lived closer together. We've got another one on the way...and we recently picked out a name for her too. Sydney Reese Walker is due on February 10, 2009. We are excited, but not quite ready. I have so much to do at work and at home to prepare to be a mom of 2. I'm really looking foward to the change though. I'm sure that comes as a surprise to my family. I had a long and difficult "adjustment period" with the birth of Brooke. However, I also had way too much ocurring in my life at that same time (new job, building a home, etc.) so I can't say that it was all to blame on being a new mom. I just know that things will be much
smoother this time. And hey, who knows, if Reese is half as good a baby as our Brooke was.....we may just turn right around and have another one.

Brooke slept in rollers for Preschool Picture Day. They were the soft spongy kind that my mom used on my hair when I was little. I hated them, but Brooke would sleep in them every night if I wanted her too. She looked precious, and the school pictures turned out great.
