I am decidedly FOR the word brouhaha.
Some people have expressed extreme dismay at our lack of blogging these days. Alright already! Here we are...back by (sort of) popular demand...ready to make all your wildest dreams come true.
My sister reassured me that I wasn't obligated to make up for the "days of yore" (her beautiful words, not mine), but that I could start anew. Since our lives, in all reality, aren't that exciting, I actually feel a little tied to my yesteryear, for those are the only events we've had. So whether you like it or not...here is our life's review: LeBRAUN 2007 (we'll spare you and only blog the last few months. "If I have to read 'Spooky Brauns' one more time...." yeesh!)
November. unseasonably and beautifully warm in the hometown. FREEZING my biscuits off in the NW:
Loving the trail 90s:
Cindi came down from Seattle to do some Charlie's Angel stunts on the bike. Hot.
Seth and a few of the brothers.
Ahhh...the beach. I think I was born to be here. Tillie loves Cannon Beach so we got some cute shots of her with G & G Braun.
My parents made the drive to Oregon with us but spent the week with my dad's sisters. They met us at Cannon Beach where we were nearly eaten by the sea (sneaker waves...get you-and your sneakers-every time). Luckily we weren't dragged out to sea. Sadly, I had to make the long and awkward walk back to the beach house. sand and sea water up to your crotch..WAY chaff-ey.December. Cold. Vay, vay cold. Christmas came, the goose got fat, no more pennies for the old man's hat. (Because I spent them all on gifts for Tillie. Christmas for a little girl is THE B.E.S.T.!!) Dolls and Princesses galore. I could honestly die!
January. Potty training. Stopped as soon as it started. But the tillster did look DANG cute romping around in her little panties. Perhaps next month will be our month. If not...the next one.
And just a few random pictures. If panties weren't enough, try a push-up bra with a stylish tank. (This outfit was NOT contrived...Tillie specifically asked that I put the bra on her, paired with the tank-top). Next come the high heels and Mr. Potato Head glasses. And last of all, Tills gets nice and cozy with her baby in the doll bed. love it.
Thanks for staying true and faithful. Don't give up on us yet! We'll post more...scout's honor.

Hey Mary, your family picture at the beginning of your post is really cute. And I just love the picture of Tillie being cold in her red coat. Thanks for sharing!
Wow! It is the new year and resolutions do come true! I've missed seeing the Braun family! Sorry I couldn't make it to the shin-dig last month. My brother just HAD to get married that day. :) I hope to see you soon though.
Tillie sure is growing up fast! Your family pic is super cute. You've gotta love cannon beach.. i'm so jealous! love you!

Wahoo!! Now these are pics worth sharing right?--love them all. Good times with the potty training :)
Somehow my niece Maddie Jane just basically potty trained herself and once she tried a day with panties there was no turning back. 4 days later she still hasn't had any accidents and just tells Cec when she needs to go. It's seriously amazing and I am stunned after all the serious work it required with Bentley!Sheesh!!
Yea! I am so glad to see fun pictures of you and your darling family. Tillie is getting so big I can hardly believe it. I miss you!
Two months late, but worth the wait. I loved all of these pics. Good job. Good luck with the potty training.
Finally... SHEESH!
Yea! You are alive! Tilly is so stinkin adorable! And we just love you guys. Wish we were still um "neighbors" like in London. Looks like life is treating you well. Hopefully we can catch you when we visit UT in the summer. LOVES!
Love it! The picture of Tillie in the red coat is quite possible the cutest/greatest picture I've ever seen. It's no wonder she's my twin. I can see I'm rubbing off on her!
Love you all.
Cindi B.
