Be Mine....

For Valentine's Day this year, we celebrated with food. I can't think of a better way to celebrate. For our Sunday dinner I fixed turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing, and green beans, and it was sooo yummy. I made a special cake for Cole for today because he loves fruit and chocolate. So I made a Victorian Strawberry Chocolate Cake. The strawberries on the cake were supposed to be in the shape of a heart but didn't work out so well, but the cake was delish!! Happy Valentine's Day to Cole, the love of my life, and to my little Brook. All my love to my sweet, little family.

Miss Monkey

Brooklyn is really into climbing onto things lately. If it is above her head and looks like a good place to roost, she squeaks and hollers and grunts until she gets up to where she wants to be. This morning while I was fixing her breakfast, I heard her pulling on the kitchen chairs, but I didn't worry about it because I knew she couldn't get on them, or so I thought. That little monkey climbed right up and would have been on the table if I hadn't stopped her. Just when I thought she couldn't be into anything else, now she climbs to reach it. I love my monkey and every time I say to her, "Brook you are the cutest monkey ever!" She puts her hands up to her armpits and makes her monkey sound. Too cute!!
