Welcome to the Kurtz Family! I am from south Georgia but married a NOLA boy. He swept me off my feet and moved me to the great state of Louisiana. Together we've created a precious family of two sweet boys.... only 14.5 months apart. We are busy! Brooks is silly, giggly and so much fun! Parker is sweet, cuddly, and so loving. You wouldn't know it by looking at him, but Parker has a rare disease called Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome. We are learning to deal with CVS as a family and keep Parker as healthy as possible!

One Month Old!!






We've been blessed to be Brooks' parents for one month now... and it has been AMAZING! Brooks has had a super active month with being born and all. Plus, he's gone on several "field trips" and had tons of visitors and admirers. First, he had Mema and Papa (my parents) stay with him an entire week. This was a great week for all of us. Brooks even went out for an Italian dinner during that time on his 1 week birthday! Next, he celebrated his very first holiday, the 4th of July, in Pass Christian, Mississippi. He enjoyed spending time with his Maw Maw and Paw Paw (Chad's parents), aunts, uncles, and cousins. Aunt Kerrie even talked Mommy into doing an overnight on this trip. With Brooks being only 10 days old, we packed the entire house for our one night stay! Brooks did great! At three weeks old, Brooks took his first trip to New Orleans. He spent a nice afternoon with Maw Maw and Paw Paw while Mommy and Daddy enjoyed a late lunch date in the French Quarter. Brooks is growing so fast! He is a very healthy eater (and sleeper... thank the LORD!!!!) and now weighs over 10 pounds. We honestly just can't get enough of him!!! As you can see, his big "sister" Anabelle is in love with him too! He is a sweet, sweet boy! Newborn pics coming soon......

Our child is born!

I Samuel 1:27 For this child I prayed; and the Lord hath given me my petition which I asked of him.

Brooks Carter Kurtz has finally arrived! He was born on June 24th, 2010 at 12:22 pm... weighing 7 lbs 6.5 oz and measuring 20 inches... with a head full of silky, dark hair! Our world has changed and we are so grateful! I've prayed for this child for so long and my husband has prayed for his wife to have a "fruitful womb" since we met. Yet we had no idea just how in absolute love we would be with our son! He is changing so much every single day. We are loving settling into a family routine and look forward to sharing our joy with our family and friends.
