First Tigers Baseball Game

Brooklyn went to her first Detroit Tigers baseball game tonight against the Tampa Bay Rays. We took a family picture in front of the giant tiger in front of Comerica Park.

Brooklyn rode the big Tiger Merry-Go-Round with her dad.

We took lots of pictures in the stadium. Here are a few of our favorites.

The #23 ranked Tigers beat the #3 ranked Tampa Bay Rays, 4-3.

After Friday and Saturday night games, fireworks are set off from the field. It was a great show! Brooklyn watched in awe while Darren kept her little ears covered.

Do you see the smiley face?

Our little tiger was worn out. She was such a good little girl!

Happy First Day of Fall!!

I can't believe the summer is coming to an end. We have really enjoyed our first summer with our peanut, and we are looking forward to our next season together and all the wonderful suprises she will bring!!!

Happy Belated Labor Day

Things have been busy around here lately, including a visit from Mimi, Opa, and Aunt Katie. Aunt Katie was here for two weeks, and Mimi and Opa were here for a week. We grilled out for holiday, then Mimi and Opa went to Mackinac Island, and then Brooke took her first trip to the Greenfield Village, with lots of hanging out with Aunt Katie in between. It was such a great visit! Thanks for making the trip to see us!

Happy First 1/2 Birthday!!!

Brooklyn is 6 months old today! I can't believe how fast the time has flown! Here is a brief recap and few new pictures! What a big girl!

Messy Faces!!!

Brooklyn has been working hard the past month, or so, on her eating skills. Here are a few of our favorite messy faces. So silly!!!

We don't really care for peaches!

Bay View 2008

The Chiltons and our friends, the Harrisons, headed to Bay View (a small community next to Petoskey) this weekend. Darren's aunt and uncle have a beautiful cottage there, and it is by far one of my favorite places in Michigan.

We left late Thursday night and came home Sunday afternoon.

We enjoyed some time relaxing ....

The girls did a little shopping....

We took some cute family pictures and pictures of Brooklyn and Ella. One evening we were able to catch the sunset over Lake Michigan. The weather this weekend was awesome!!

We can't wait to go back!! Thanks Jennifer and Dempsey, we had a great time!!
