Happy Birthday, Anna Brooke

By -
Today is my big girl, Anna Brooke's birthday! She is turning FIVE years old. Someone please contact Father Time and let him know that he will just have to leave me behind because he is marching too fast.


Anna Brooke was born on a Wednesday evening at 6:40 pm. It was the same day as Tom Brokaw's last broadcast. I remember saying that I wanted to watch it and then realizing about midnight that I missed it. I was so happy to have a little girl I was beside myself. It is every woman's dream to have a girl just because, have you been in the boys' clothing department lately? Everybody knows it's much more fun to dress a girl.


Anna Brooke and Luke are 19 months apart. They are so close. They love to pretend that they are twins. Being that Anna Brooke is tall they are pretty successful at pulling it off.



Anna Brooke loves her baby sister also. They love to stay in their room and play for an hour or so at a time. It is so cute to hear them talking about their babies and cooking supper.

Anna Brooke likes to play with her baby brother. She especially likes some of his toys. She speaks to him like they are both teenagers.

Some things you may not know abour Anna Brooke:
-she is SLOW. She gets this trait from her Mommy! I am the same way. She will NOT BE RUSHED! Don't even try.
-She is particular about her clothes. She doesn't like to wear long sleeves. She will wear short sleeves with a jacket.
-She LOVES to sing. She picks up the tune and words to any song very easily. She sings all the time.
-She loves going to Preschool. She has a strong desire to learn more. She can't wait to start Kindergarten next Fall.
-She is left handed.
-She will try to eat anything new.
-Chick-fil-A is her favorite restaraunt.

She has enriched our lives so much these past 5 years. I think the LORD gave her to us to help us to slow down in the rush of our ministry lives sometimes. And she does a good job!!

WE LOVE YOU, ANNA BROOKE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BIG GIRL!!

On Valentine's Day 2007 Patrick and I decided that we would not get each other a gift. This was the first time we had made such a deal. I did pick up a card for him and filled it out. Valentine's Day was on a Wednesday and we really didn't see each other much until after church that night. He came home exhausted. We had our little family of five all together in the Family Room and I handed him his card. I had signed it the way I usually do with an extra note on the very bottom: P. S. Baby Boy due to arrive in September. (Now, I didn't know for sure he was a boy, but I had a feeling) Patrick FELL INTO THE FLOOR!! Fast forward 7 months. I was very busy getting ready to open WEE Love Academy, the weekday preschool ministry at church. I was thinking that I would get the Preschool started a few weeks then the baby would come. Well, Preschool started on Tuesday, September 4, 2007. It was a great day and I came home energetic! I thought nothing of it just busied m...

Pretty...

Hello There! There is something that has bothered me for years. I have begun to do better, and encouraged others to change their ways. This is it... Why do people almost always compliment little girls on their appearance first? Little girls are held to a higher standard in regard to their appearance and little boys are held to a very low standard regarding their behavior. This baffles me. I know you've heard it, probably even done it.  What's the first thing most people say to a little girl? "You're so pretty!" "Your dress is so pretty!" Why not compliment how compassionate & respectful she is because you just witnessed her let an older person get on the elevator first? Brave because you see the band-aid on her arm from a doctor visit? Smart...maybe she has a book in her hand! Funny...did she just tell the best joke you've heard all week? Creative...does she have an ornate hairstyle?  Or an outfit you would have never ...
