What is new with the Brinks

Clara escorted us to the award ceremony where Ryan recieved 2 awards from the Iowa Newspaper Association. One was for a stroy and the other was for a picture. The picture was published on the front of the awards newspaper summary.We are getting really creative and antsy to get outside! This is Juleah and her three best friends-she is spoiled!
Here is Juleah showing off her Valentines Day outfit and fancy hair-do which lasted just long enough for me to take the picture and not a minute longer
Here is Clara, she is trying to decide if she should be a thumb sucker or a "di-di" lover like her sister. If Juleah has any say she will choose the "di-di" that Juleah shares with her-it's kinda like sharing your candy you become really proud of yourself for beingso generous and it tastes better if you share the moment with someone you love.
Here is our proud Grandmother Leah's new Store-Key Ingredients!

Joyful Little One

Here is my Clara Bear often refered to as Claire Bear. She is so full of smiles that I might burst if I don't share them with those we love. So here is just a taste of the happiness of Clara Joy!


Juleah and Isaiah are hard at work on there Mr. Potato Heads made from Play-doh! Juleah has a Nuk in her mouth-so that she doesn't eat teh play-doh-note to other moms of kids with Allergies-Play-doh contains WHEAT and so do McDonalds Fries-good to know!

All about Clara

My big sister and I like to watch our Praise Baby DVD together! Juleah really loves me-she is a very good big sister. She likes to make me laugh, sometimes cry, and she also cleans up my spit!

This is the current Clara at about 12 lbs. and hair growing everyday!
Clara loves to play with her daddy! She has a great laugh and sence of humor already!

It is no accident that her middle name is Joy! Some people say Clara looks like Juleah and others think she has her own little look. I say both. She definatley looks a lot more like her daddy!...
But . . . I am almost positive I have a picture just like this one of Juleah, and you would think they are identical twins. It is all about the angle that you see her face!

We have been busy!

Juleah is learning the Christmas story while we open presents!Happy 2nd Birthday Juleah!
A nummy wheat free cake!
I went to my first Iowa Caucus!
Juleah's true colors- the determination of a Viking Warrior and the looks of a Princesses!
