Lately.

Lately, Brooke's been growing like a weed...

while swinging in the cold.

and tossing through the leaves!

Lately, she's been bundled on Daddy's tractor...

and flashing that smile,

so she get's whatever she asks for...

(even when it means a home-make-over in the dining room!)

Lately, my dad has taken leave of his senses...

and we watched as our Daddy took the reign...

we smiled and waved as he passed us,

because, we figure, it'll never happen again.

Lately, Brooke has become a 'big girl,'

and our house is all ready for Santa!
