Brooklyn's visit...

August 15, 2019


What a fun and busy summer!! Two days after we got home from Glacier, Brooklyn came to visit for 4 days. As promised, we spent some time at the sewing machine. Her favorite football team is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and I just so happened to have some Buccaneer fabric in my stash. *wink* She decided to make a pillowcase. 


One thing I did not anticipate and was a challenge for me is Brooklyn is a lefty like her birth father! I had a terrible time helping her use the rotary cutter.



The finished product!! She did a fantastic job!


Holden came over every day to spend time with her, too. He was juggling while giving her tips on how to get up on the slackline. He makes me laugh! 


By the time her stay with us was over she was doing a great job getting up on the slackline and was beginning to take a step before she fell.  


Here is Holden showing all the grandgirls how it's done. He can walk all the way across. 


I need to get back in my sewing room and finish up the projects I started way too long ago. One of these days! 




Brooklyn's 4th birthday

July 22, 2011

Last weekend we celebrated Brooklyn's 4th birthday. 

For those who don't know, here is the background information....

Brooklyn is my son, Holden's, first child. 


He and Kayla, his girlfriend at the time, made the choice to place her for adoption. Kayla holds a very special place in my heart. 




 Jen and Steve, her parents, chose to have an open adoption and we are all involved in Brooklyn's life.


Brooklyn has lots of grandmas to love up on her.


It's obvious she is well loved... 


 I won't say that it hasn't been without it's challenges...All families have their challenges. Adoption just has some different ones. I speak from experience because my two youngest boys are adopted. 

I will say this, even with the challenges that pop up, adoption is a wonderful thing ...


A book I highly recommend on adoption, is by Dr. Russell Moore, "Adopted For Life." 

Every child deserves a family.
