We got quite a bit of snow in Potomac Falls and Mommy even came along for the fun as we ran around the neighborhood looking for a special hill to sled down. Joseph tagged along as well and had a good time hopping around through the nearly 2 feet of snow!

Well it looks like we have an artist in the making! Brooklyn drew this picture on her “macadoodle” as she calls it all by herself. She actually drew a similar picture a day before however the camera was dead. At any rate this is an excellent picture!
Brooklyn graduated from daycare today, she’s off to the big world now. Here are some photos of a few of her friends!
Here are some great family photos from Easter 2009, more to come!
Brooklyn, Mommy, Daddy and Joseph took a long walk today over to Dunkin Doughnuts and ran into Brooklyn’s friend Clementine this afternoon! They had a good time playing at the neighborhood park on the swings and slides. Here are some great photos.
All of their photos from the park can be seen HERE.
Clementine, Oscar and her mommy and daddy can be seen on Clementine and Oscar’s blog HERE.
Brooklyn started getting chores at an early age, a little over 2 years old that is! Her first chore was to take care of the family dog Joseph the Great. Her second chore now is she is responsible for clearing the dished off the dining room table after one of mommy’s delicious meals. While sitting here writing this post I did a quick Google search on “Children and Chores” and found the following article by Patricia Sullivan and National PTA which appears to be targeted to older children. The article is broken down into two key areas, “Getting the job done” and “Motivation”.
“Although chores are important because they teach basic life skills and help children build personal responsibility”

As we prepare for the transition to warmer beautiful weather we are also getting Brooklyn ready for Preschool! We took a tour of Minnieland today and she loved it! We will be touring at least three or four more places before making a final decision. This Saturday we will be going to the Cherry Blossom parade in Washington D.C. and will have plenty of pictures of our trip! Please don’t forget to stop by every now and then to say hi to baby B!
Booklyn had a wonderful Christmas in Indianapolis, IN with her grandparents, family and friends! She of course could not wait to open her gifts this year on Christmas morning. Brooklyn also had Christmas in Virginia as we did an early present sharing before our plan ride to Indy. This trip was the first time that baby B had her own seat on the plan! She also go to feed Nana and Papa’s pet squirrels that they have “inherited”…lol! Brooklyn also experience the “coldest” weather she has EVER felt at 7 degrees with high winds. She wasn’t too thrilled about that!! Good thing that only lasted one day (:
