Friday, February 24, 2012. It's so fun being a girl! So today I couldn't resist the urge to paint her fingernails. It was one of the most difficult things I have ever done.haha! After a lot of struggle to get her to hold still, this is the end product. More paint got on her skin than on her nails and so I had to clean it up a bit. Needless to say I don't know if I will do that again for a while so I thought I would capture the moment. Saturday, February 18, 2012. Brooklyn brings such joy to our lives!

Friday, September 28, 2012. 29 and almost 10 months. My darling is almost 10 months old! I am constantly amazed at how fast she is changing and all that she is learning! Here are some of the latest developments. Since we moved to L.A. I have not had a washer/dryer in my apartment because they don't have hookups here. I have to do it on the on site facilities. This has been really difficult because it is almost impossible for me to carry Brooklyn and . I wish I would've learned this sooner! After dinner w...

Friday, January 11, 2013. Brooklyn's 1st birthday party! December 8th, 2012 Brooklyn turned 1! We decided to drive up to Fremont to spend the day with Bismarck's family. Bismarck's mother and sister Darlene were there to see Sheba and Andre's new baby daughter Eva and it was just perfect timing. I honestly thought Brooklyn would go crazy with the cake but she just picked at it slowly. We played a little game together called How Well Do You Know Me? Thursday, January 10, 2013. I am so grateful that I can ...

Thursday, August 9, 2012. Bath time and L.A. Before we left for L.A. Brooklyn had her first bath in the tub instead of the baby bath. She absolutely loved the rubber ducky. What a darling! She is such a happy girl and just brightens my day! A few days after arriving in L.A. Bismarck's friend Ryan and his family invited us to go kayaking at Balboa Beach. It is such a quaint, adorable place. I kept thinking it would be such a fun place to go for a honeymoon or anniversary! Perhaps one day we will do that.

Wednesday, June 12, 2013. Show me the money. Years ago as my oldest 2 were starting to become aware of money I scrambled to come up with a plan."When do we start paying allowance? Do we pay allowance for chores? How do we keep track of their tithing? Who keeps their spending money? Do they need wallets? Combine all that with my older boys approaching teenage hood and the possibility of earning more than just the allowance that we pay them I knew that it was time to revamp the plan. One of the troubles th...

Saturday, June 30, 2012. Brooklyn met her only living great grand parent Grandma Beatrice. It was so wonderful to spend time with her. In Ghana people sell in the streets everywhere you go. I found it so interesting to see the kinds of things people would balance on their heads. It is a part of the culture that I adore. We went to the National Theater in Accra and saw some pretty interesting pieces of art and instruments they sometimes use in their performances. We ate lunch together at the hotel. As...

the odei's: Halloween, Thanksgiving, Bismarck's Birthday

Friday, December 14, 2012. Halloween, Thanksgiving, Bismarck's Birthday. It has been forever since I posted. Better late than never though. Our ward had a fun party and Trunk or Treat! I have never gone to a Trunk or Treat before. Some people went all out decorating their trunks. Next year we will have to participate! I just loved watching Brooklyn walk around in her costume. She looked so funny with the padding. This apple kept her occupied and made her so happy while we sat and talked at the park!

Thursday, May 16, 2013. Beach and Playground Time. Brooklyn is so active right now! She just loves being outside! Even though it can be hard to chase after a 17 month year old when I'm 22 weeks pregnant, it is worth the exhaustion to see the pure joy and delight on her face! But I wouldn't have it any other way. I am amazed at how well she does climbing up and down the stairs and going down the slide on her own. She even tries to climb up the slide. I really have to keep my eye on this girl! She is begin...
