Brook's Baptism

We are so excited and thankful that Brook has accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior! She was baptized at our church, Faith Baptist, by her Paw Paw on February 1st. (For those of you who did not know, my dad is the pastor of Pilgrims Rest Baptist Church just outside of Fayette, AL.) She was so thrilled to have our family come all the way from Alabama in support of this most important decision. Thanks to Maw Maw and Paw, Mindy, Jeremy, and Gracie, Angie and Lizzy, and Mena and Grandma Fears for being there to support Brook. She would also like to thanks Grumps (seen in the background of the above picture) for coming to church when he really shouldn't have been around so many people. THANK YOU to all.What a beautiful sight to see my Dad standing with my sweet baby before the baptism with the cross in the foreground!
You wouldn't know it by the smile on Brook's face, but the water in the baptistry was ice cold! Somehow, the baptistry was not filled up and warmed as planned. They filled it only a couple of hours before she was baptized. Regardless, she entered it with much enthusiasm!

Brook
Brook is 7 years old going on 30. She is so full of life and most days there is an immense amount of drama. She loves to play teacher, write, eat, play with polly pockets, barbies, and dinosaurs, play peek a boo with Braeden, and play anything with Kerri. She makes straight A's at school, but still doesn't like to go. She wants to be a Vet when she grows up. Her favorite place in the whole wide world is Disney World.

Braeden

Braeden
Braeden is growing up so fast! She is now 9 months old. She is now scooting on her bottom and rolling everywhere! She can almost crawl and will walk everywhere if someone is holding her hands. At her recent doctor's appointment, she weighed 23 pounds and was 30 inches long. She was off the chart again for height (15 month old), weight (17 month old), and head circumference (22 month old). The doctor said she was the size of a 18 month old!
