Angels Watching Over Me

Brianna is just watching to make sure that Juleah is okay! What a great big cousin!

Happy Valentines Day!

Juleah is all smiles in her 1st Valentines Day outfit given to her by Pamela (Ryan's Counsin) and Darrin, and by her side is he beanie baby from the Rygh family! Juleah and mom made dad pink heart shaped pancakes to celebrate this special day!

Hello to the world! Today I am just hanging out with my mom, and now dad is here on his lunch break! I love the attention those two give me...actually they serve as really good NUK holders. Sometimes I con both of them into changing my diaper-I like it when it's a family affair-I am glad I can be of service for keeping my family together!

February 5th

Today is momma Jody's 26th Birthdy and we are dressed in bright colors for the occation. (including going to church and watching the Super Bowl). Juleah is looking out the window-she loves the sunshine!

Jan. 30 Juleah is resting in one of her favorite places - Daddy's arms while he reads out loud. Juleah is a good nighttime sleeper allowing Mom to sleep in until 9am somedays! She enjoys her morning nap time while Mom takes her for a walk at the YMCA. We have to make it home for lunch with Dad, and then Jody crosses her fingers to get a nap for herself in the afternoon (usually only a quick one!) Juleah enjoys her evenings with Mom and Dad -who watch her with delight and still oh and agh over her every move.

Believe it or not Juleah came home from the hospital 3 weeks ago smaller than my doll-Kelly. Kelly was born into my life as a young third grader back in 1989. I purchased her with my very own hard earned $30. It still is not quite real to me that Juleah does not come with a gift receipt! And although everyone says "Juleah looks like a dolly", I have learned that there are drastic differences between the two of them!

And the Winner is...

Appearing to be the Stanely Cup is actually a diaper cake celebrating the birth of Juleah. It was gifted to us by our dear friends from Lake Sarah Baptist Church in Slayton, MN. Jody appreciated their creativity and efforts to make it a joyous occasion. Thanks to the Brinks family Juleah may be the best dressed child in town this next year!

Introducing ... Juleah Raelee

The Brinks family became three on Jan. 6 at 5:29 p.m. when Juleah Raelee was born. She weighed 7 lbs 12 1/2 oz and measured 21" ... quite the loveable bundle!



Here's one of mom's first looks, dad's turn for holding her and a mother-daughter photo the next day.
