Happy Birthday Brooke Marie

Mom's a few days late with the Birthday wishes but we celebrate "Birthday Weeks" around here anyway! Sunday, August 3rd Brooke spent her Birthday at Lambeau Field. Thanks to Abby Z., a "buddy" of Brooke's (from TeamUp camp 2007) and very good friend, we enjoyed Club Seats at Family Night. After the lightning finally subsided, the evening was underway. It was quite a sensory experience for Brooke, and not a positive one at first! As soon as she would stop moving, sit in her seat, and look out below at the 60,000 occupied seats of Lambeau, she would become fearful and unhappy. (How many stadiums sell out for a scrimmage!? I'll bet NOT the New York Jets!!) Thanks to all those who joined us that day in helping keep Brooke happy, you all put several miles on the buggy that night. I'm happy to report Brooke did rally, getting comfortable with the situation, and we enjoyed ourselves. As it turned out, the 8 of us were able to sit together within the club seats, which helped so she could be near Tony and Kelsey. So amongst K and T, Nancy, Julie, Ed, Brady, and I, she was content. We look forward to having everyone over on Saturday to celebrate her 11th Birthday. Thank you all for reminding me how blessed we are in terms of what Brooke has accomplished over the years. Sometimes as parents, and some of you can relate to this, we need those reminders especially around Birthdays and Holidays. God bless Brooke on her Birthday and always, as well as everyone who shares in her milestones and happiness.
