New Pup

We went to Kansas this past weekend to pick up a puppy to fill the void that Moka left. Her name is Biscuit and she was born on November 1st. Biscuit's mom had a sweet face like Moka and some of the same mannerisms, I wanted to take her too! I couldn't do a post about her until now because we just named her last night! It was harder to agree on a name for the dog than it was for Braelin! Biscuit seems to be smart and has a cute personality....I hope so...she has big paws to fill!

Sweet Moka

Our Sweet Moka was hit by a truck and died yesterday. We miss our girl so much. She was a huge part of our lives. She will remain in our hearts forever. We're so lucky to have had her
even if it was
only for 3 years.

We love you!

The picture of Braelin in her hat was taken a couple days ago. She had to bundle up because we had our first snow of the year! The other pictures from our trip to Colorado. It was her first road trip and she did great during the 13 1/2 hour drive. She's so wonderful and we're so lucky to have her!

So many changes!

Braelin found her feet a few weeks ago and hasn't let go of them since! She's also started eating cereal and seems to be doing pretty well with it! She's rolling over by herself and would love to crawl but she just isn't strong enough yet!

Baby "Talk"

Here's a short video of Braelin "talking"! She's been getting extremely vocal recently! It's not a great video, but it's the best I've gotten so far! Usually when I turn on the camera she gets really quiet and just stares at it.

Beach Baby

I got to go to Hawaii (the Big Island) for work for a few days and brought Brae along. It was a whirlwind of a trip but we had a little time to sightsee. If I ever make it back, I definitely want to stay longer! Braelin was great on the flights! I'm so lucky to have such a wonderful baby! The picture of us together was taken at our hotel. There were sea turtles just off the shore....not something you see in MO, maybe snapping turtles!

Labor Day Weekend

We decided to go fishing on Labor Day weekend. We just went below the lake and had Braelin in her stroller and brought a blanket. It was pretty warm so Brae had to strip down to her undies to take a nap! The first day we fished, we caught more turtles than fish! But the second day was better! As always, it was nice to spend time together. We hope you were able to be with your loved ones too!
