Janey's Dance Recital

I got to be in Utah when Janey had a dance recital.

Ugh... the cuteness was overwhelming to me!

M.I.A.

Sorry, I have been missing in action lately.

I have been busy....

Hanging out with these crazy kids.

And, nothing could be better.

Mad Hatters and Disneyland Fun

The Millers came to California. And, we all landed in Disneyland for a few days. It was a lot of fun!

It was so much fun to see the Miller clan. I miss you guys already. Please come back soon!

A preview: Jacob's Baptism.

Julie and Adam took a lot of darling photos at Jacob's baptism.

Mine are not so great, since I forgot to bring my good camera, and only had my camera phone.

So, until they upload their fantastic photos. I will let you guys preview mine here.

We are all so proud of you Jacob!

Snow Days!!

This is pretty much all we've been doing for the past two weeks, mingled with a little school! We woke up to 20 inches this morning!!

Familyhood of the travelling wig

A few nights ago Mark shaved mom's head, because that fateful moment finally came. The hair loss... sigh! And, then he shaved his own in solidarity. When I saw the picture on my phone, I was overcome by emotion, tenderness and love for both of them. I love our family. You guys rock.

When meme was in Connecticut with the 2nd generation Brinkerhoff kids, they were totally enamored of her wig. So, each of them tried it on.

And, wouldn't you know it, the wig looked fabulous on everyone!?!

Christmas in Connecticut

This year Meme, Papa, and I (Ali) had the great privilege of sharing Christmas with Adam, Julie, Haley, Jacob, Izzy, and Sadie in Connecticut. And, blizzard aside, it was a perfect Christmas! I decided to just upload a bunch of the photos and let the pictures tell the story.

Gated!

The "what are we waiting for" look.

(Oddly enough, with the except on one photo Meme snuck into, I forgot to take any photos of the adults. What can I say, my camera is just drawn to kids).



Thanks Brinks for letting us come (most especially Jules, for all that you did to make us feel at home, we love you more than you will ever know.)

What did the rest of you fools do for Christmas? What did the kids get? Post some pictures people! Why am I the only one who adds to this blog?!?!?
