Our trip to Jax!

We've been so busy lately I'm a tad behind on postings.  Recently, Brooks and I took an excursion to visit my sister and her family in Jacksonville.  We had such a fun time!!

Another first for Brooks while we were there!  He took 6 steps!!! Yaaaaaay for my growing boy :)
My niece, Emerson, got his "footage" {pun intended!} on video and now we'll always have it as a treasured memory. 

Brooks absolutely loves his cousins and Aunt and Uncle!  My sweet sister Leah is "The Baby Whisperer" for sure!  Brooks just adores her!  My heart was so full that weekend. 

We enjoyed another first for Brooks too...the ocean!  He smiled and splashed and laughed and soaked it all in! 

Here are a few pics from our fun visit.  We can't wait to get back soon!

 

 

 

 

 

Taylor and I played dress up in Claire's. ; ) How funny are these fake pigtails?!

 

 

We found a fire truck!  Perfect photo op in anticipation of Brooks's upcoming birthday theme! 

 

 

  

 

 

A little light reading.

 

 

Brooks meets girlfriends almost anywhere.  I'm in trouble!

 

 

 

 

Now, we're awaiting the rest of the fam to return from their Israel trip.  They are having an amazing time and thank you to everyone who is praying for safe travels for them! I cannot wait to hear all the details when they get back.  We've been getting some great stories over our brief phone calls and are ready to hear about their adventure in person!!
