Madelyn had an entire 2weeks off for Spring Break so the children and I headed to MS to visit with family! Beside...only my mother had ever met Brooks so it was about time! There are now a total of NINE grandchildren for mom and dad!! What's even funnier is that there is SIX BOYS and only three girls! All of the cousins had SO much fun!
My granny is So dear to me! She is absolutely THE most precious woman in the world! I love her! I was so excited to introduce Brooks to her! She loves nothing more than to hold a new baby....and to watch them nurse (insert giggle from me and my sisters)!
Lauren and I took the belly picture back in October. These little boys were cooking. It was so sweet to see them side by side! Sweet little Knox has dark hair, dark eyes, and dark complexion.. and sweet Brooks has a very fair complexion, blue eyes and light red hair!! SO completely opposite!!
While down in Kosy we did a little celebrating!! Mom and Avas birthdays are close! Its so hard to believe that Ava is 10!
Pops was always willing to feed Brooks a bottle and sing him a song...(usually "Down in the Valley") This was sung to all three gals when we were little!
Granny had her hands full for sure!
Several folks have asked where Shane and I got Brooks name. Well this is part of his name sake. My sisters name before getting married was Allison Brooke King...so we took the masculine version of it. Brooks first name, Marlin, came from Shanes paternal grandfather. Both Shanes grand father and father have the name Marlin. We wanted to use it to honor Dondi. He was very loved and is very missed by us!
Silly Chap talking to his baby brother, Knox!
Madelyn and Murphy LOVE to participate in cooking. Nana let them help her make a chocolate chip pound cake! This is Madelyn's (and apparently Murphy's) favorite!! The following morning I walked into the dinning room to find Murphy on the table indulging in CAKE! All he could say was
"IT YUMMY MOMMY!"....so much for breakfast!
They LOVE their NANA!!!
On Tuesday we headed to Jackson to visit with Mema!! This was her first time to meet Brooks! She got in lots of cuddles with our sweet Brooks!
Brooks and Knox got to hang out one more time before we left...Mom and dad came back up to Nashville for Easter weekend!
