Accidents happen...

...only this kind left me with those shivers you get after hearing a painful, frightening story. And of course, what kind of mother would I be if I wasn't there to document it first hand.

Unfortunately these photos do not to this shiner justice...






The story is the real creepy part. Sam was running around the house trying to get the dog to chase her. As she was running through the toy room she tripped or stubbed her toe on something (probably a toy, not gonna lie the room is a complete disaster so it's no wonder this never happened sooner). As she was still in the running momentum she grabbed her foot and began to fall. Rather than let go of her foot to brake her fall, she simply let her face do that for her... against the small play table. That small scrape next to her eye is where her face hit. Thank goodness for calm Daddies that know just what to do and how to handle this kind of stuff.

So now we've taught her that anytime anyone looks at her funny or says anything about her eye her response is... 'if you think this is bad, you should see the other guy!' Thank goodness she's our little toughy!

Whoa baby, it's been a lonnnng time!

OK, here we go... my attempt to play catch up... Scrolling down you see it was just a few posts ago that I was so proud of my new lil 2nd grader. Well as time so often does it just flew right by and we just wrapped up 2nd grade year... watch out 3rd grade. As tradition in our house here is Sam's mini shoot commemorating her 2nd grade year.

Wee little princess...

Oh man, where does one begin to describe our little peanut. For starters I still get a kick out of the random folks that ask me almost weekly what the age difference is between the B's... then the genuine look of shock and awe when I tell the unsuspecting person that they are in fact twins. Let's see...what else about Brooke... -She bounces EVERY where she goes...she can never just walk places she has to twirl, bounce, you name it -She is the most amazing UNtrained dancer EVER...at least that's what her Grandma Herrick would say! -She has the most loving heart I have ever witnessed...loves and cares so unconditionally -Wants to be just like her big sister in the worst way -Has my chin...and it's soooo cute! -Her prayers will melt your heart...no joke! -Still prays everyday that her Grandma will be strong and healthy and we don't dare correct her -Always wants to be on the go and constantly asks to go to the mall -Has the sweetest bond with her bro and I...

Random photos...

Whenever I have a photo shoot planned at my house in my little “studio” I always beg and plead with the kiddos to sit for just a second so that I can get the lights and set up just right before the actual shoot. Well, in doing that, I always end up with the most random of photos... ENJOY! [taken December 2011]
