What Has Brookie Been Up To...

Wordless Wednesday (Well, not really but kinda)

This is one of Brooklynn's favorite songs right now. I love it too! It's so old school, it takes me back. :) We first saw this video and heard the song on a Sesame Street video and we loved it so much we bought the cd. I just thought I'd share, enjoy!

This time last year...

Wow, I realized today that it has been a year since we found out we were moving to Dallas. On April 12 we flew to Dallas to check out the scene after only about a week's notice about Hendersohn's new job. I have to admit I was initially unsure about moving to Texas but it didn't take long for me to fall in love with the place! Well, it's been a year and the move was truly a blessing. Below are pictures we had taken of Brooklynn right before we moved last year. In a lot of ways she's grown but also in many ways she's still the same little "brookie cookie".

And Now...

And Now...

Picture Perfect Weekend

This weekend was just like most weekends at the Sudler house, eventful!

I got the chance to sip margaritas on the patio on Sunday with friends. The weather was beautiful and there were lots of laughs and talking (and lots of margaritas!). It was a much needed relaxing and fun afternoon.

This weekend we also celebrated the first birthday of Carmen and Sanaya(my good friend Pamela's twin girls). Brooklynn had a great time and loved all the balloons! She made a craft, ate chips and a cookie, and even got a professional photo taken. Pamela's husband is a professional photographer and he took these pictures of Brooklynn and me at the party. When it was time to go Brooklynn was super excited about her goodie basket and even snuck and ate a piece of chocolate (foil wrapper and all!).

Play Day Wednesday

Yesterday Brooklynn spend the afternoon playing with her little friend Mateo. Mateo and his mommy (Lourdes) were great hosts! The kids ate spaghetti and meatballs, played with Mateo's toys and books, and even went outside for a wagon ride. It was a great afternoon! The kids had fun and the mommies got a chance to sit back and talk. Brooklynn was so exhausted from all the fun, she was asleep before we made it out of their neighborhood!

Oh, The Times They Are A Changing...

This weekend was GREAT!!! Before Brooklynn was born Hendersohn expressed his concern over taking her out by himself. He would worry about it all the time and she wasn't even born yet! He really obsessed over what to do when she was old enough to go to the bathroom and it was just the two of them. He would ask "do I send her in alone or do I take her into the men's room?" (he still worries about this, even though I've shared with him that there are family restrooms out there). Things didn't change much once she got here. He was still nervous about taking her out alone. I can count on one hand the times he's taken her out of the house by himself for an outing. Well, this weekend that all changed. Hendersohn and Brookie had lots of daddy/daughter time (and who am I to get in the way of that!). Saturday the two of them went to a birthday party at the Wiggly Play Center while I went to a baby shower. Then on Sunday he took her down to Arlington to visit with Hendersohn's best friend Chris and play his daughter Olivia. They had a great time and SO DID I! I have forgotten what a wonderful feeling it is to be at home alone! Initially when they left Sunday I felt bad because Brooklynn cried when she realized I wasn't going (she screamed and clung to my leg at the door like she was being hauled off to jail!) but my bad feelings only lasted for a few minutes. :)Below are some pics from their weekend!
