Auntie Mikel (Mikel Barfuss) gave Brooky this outfit when she was first born. It's a 0-3 months so it's been HUGE on her all up until now...she's almost 5 months old. SO CUTE!!!

This is our little Brooky sleeping in her snowsuit after her first 11 mile run in the cold weather. actually Daddy Dan was the only one who RAN, but me and Brooky walked around the track with the stroller. FUN FUN!!!!

So I couldn't figure out how to rotate this picture but you get the idea. Dan thought it was important that she learned how to play video games at an early age. And judging by her face, she agrees.

My tiny little woodland elf.

I laid Brooklyn on our bed so I could change my clothes and when I went to pick her up again she had adjusted into her "I'm just gonna sit and relax while I wait on mom" position. Yes, she put herself into this position, it was not staged.

Yes, these are tiny toe nails and yes, they are painted bright red. Brooklyn LOVES being a girl.

So I'm very new at this whole blogging thing and quite frankly I think it's HARD! but I've been strongly encouraged, on many different accounts and by multiple people, to get one so here it is... My Blog. I have every intention of updating it at least once a week but, unfortunately, i can't promise anything. With that said, I would like to give everyone the updates all up until now and at least a weeks head start on my life, just in case I forget to post next week.

On February 6 of this year, at 5:41 p.m. it will have been exactly three months ago that me and Dan had a tiny baby girl named Brooklyn Emery Scherbel. 6 lbs, 2 oz. 19 1/2 in. long and totally beautiful. She is the second love of our lives and she really is perfect. Heavenly Father was totally showing off when he made her. For Brooklyn's 3 month birthday she and I are going to get her pictures taken and she is so excited, those I will definitely post on here. I also took the liberty to give her her first pedicure last tuesday, as she was taking a nap in her swing, she has beautiful red toenails now and as soon as I figure out how to post pictures on this thing I will show everyone those as well.

I found a new friend, her name is Kim and she has conveniently just finished cosmetology school and her and her husband live in the same condominiums that we do. She charges $10 a cut and thats just fantastic for me, since I stopped working and we are on a super strict budget. but don't worry I like her for lots of other reasons too!

Dan (a.k.a superman) has lost 18 lbs. in 3 weeks. he is training for another marathon in may and a triathlon in june, yes that's what I said, and marathon AND a triathlon. He has almost officially decided on a profession in kinesiology and then going on to the physical therapy/ sports medicine side of it. But so far in the year and a 1/2 that we've been married he's considered, doctor, math teacher, engineer, paramedic, recreational therapy, and a few more. OH if we could all have TOO many talents to choose from.
