Happy Mother's Day

Brantley surprised Mommy with a special message and a bouquet of flowers last Friday at school. He hopes that Mommy had a great first Mother's Day, despite Daddy having to work most of the day.

My Gran Gran

Her children stand and bless her . Her husband praised her, "There are many virtuous and capable women in the world, but you surpass them all." Charm is deceptive and beauty does not last, but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised. Reward her for all she has done. Let her deeds publicly declare her praise. My Gran Gran was one of the few women I have ever know that truly embodies all of the characteristics of a Proverbs 31 woman. She was a woman of God and embraced every opportunity she had to give of herself. She is a woman that was praised, and I will forever long to be like her and strive to have people say the same of me as they did of her - she truly loved all those around her and never spoke unkindly of others. Even though she has passed, she will always be remembered and revered by her children and grandchildren.

Take me out to the ballgame...

Last Friday, the Turner clan decided to attempt the daunting task of going to a sporting event. The Birmingham Barons were at home, and we made it (though it was the 5th inning when we arrived). Brantley did wonderful and slept most of the time in Mommy's Hot Sling, despite the shrieks and screams from surrounding kids in the Family Section. As you can see here, Brantley was either camera shy or playing a precocious game of peek-a-boo.

Family Picnic at Botanical Gardens

Since Daddy had this week off, our family took advantage and went for a picnic at the Botanical Gardens. It was such a beautiful day, and we had a terrific time being with one another. What a blessing!

Daddy reads Brantley one of his first books.

This little piggy went to Wal-Mart

While shopping at Wal-Mart recently, Brantley was taking a siesta in Mommy's Hot Sling. During our tour of the Garden Section, we came across a ceramic piggy in a hammock that displayed an uncanny resemblance to our bundle of joy.

Daddy's Birthday

Daddy had a great birthday spending time with Baby Bear

Play time

Brantley likes looking at his silly Daddy as he makes funny faces.















Brantley holds his lion tightly. The ladies of ADPi would be so proud (or fans of the Detroit NFL football franchise).

Bear looks on puzzled as he contemplates why Mommy is making him sit up at 2 months of age in this blasted Bumpo.

The easter bunny brought Brantley some foot rattles for his highly active feet.

Tho' ya hood up, what! Represent'n the mean streets of Chalybe and the hood of Ross Bridge.
