What a handsome man!

Maverick and Brixey are stunned by the beauty that has just entered the room.

Maybe perplexed is a better word. And maybe "beauty" isn't right either.

Well, beauty is the right word if we are talking about this darling little girl.

And here he is!

Brandon got a new suit for graduation from his parents. It's for preaching, so he grabbed his Bible and gave the new digs a test drive.

He would kill me if he knew I posted these. We sent them to his mother while she was in St. Louis with his Dad while he was in the hospital. She hadn't seen the suit before. Now you can all see it too.

Torture....and some fun

I know this looks terrible- I promise, we're not bad parents. This was one of the worst days in daddy hood for Brandon. Brixey had just learned to stand up and was kind of obsessed with it- she couldn't seem to do anything else (including sleep). She also hadn't quite figured out how to get down from the standing position. Above are the results....what's a dad to do? Cry with her, take a few pictures, and hold that (not so) sweet baby. But, it ended pretty sweet. While Brandon was rocking her in the afternoon after only 1/2 hour of sleep all day (this was back in the 3 nap days), she saw daddy's sad, tired face and proceeded to pull the pacifier out of her own mouth and stuck the pacifier in his mouth- I guess she figured, if it worked for her it would work for him too. Oh, the joys of parenting : )
