Brixton's First Christmas

We had such a perfect Christmas morning.
We got to sleep in a bit and didn't get out of bed until almost 9am. We quickly made our coffee (with a bit of Kahlua) and settled in at our stations. I set up our little tripod so we could video the entire unwrapping of presents. It took all of 18 minutes...and boy, did we stretch it out as much as possible!

Of course, Brixton had the honors of opening the first present.



Don't worry, Pixel wasn't left out. She got her own present...and why is Brixton more interested in her than his new toy?

Even though we said we weren't exchanging presents, Tzaddi and I got each other a few gifts:


We got Pixel some silly Christmas pajamas...isn't it ridiculous to see such a big dog dressed up in clothes?

We went over to Mom and Dad's later in the afternoon to eat delicious prime rib and ham for dinner.
Isn't this a pretty picture of Nana and Brixton?

Look at the smile on Nana's face!!!

Did you notice that Brixton is sitting up entirely by himself? We just can't believe how quickly time passes...it was just a week or so ago when he was falling over...and now he sits up like a big boy!

A hand carved wood Cobra for Dad:


Brixton LOVES hair. And Lucy is so patient...he was pulling on her hair and she never complained. And check out Brixton's teeth! I finally got a good picture of them!

Lucy's first egg nog mustache!

Best Friends!

I'm pretty sure that Lucy is bossing Brixton around:


I think Brixton was pretty pleased with his first Christmas!

Lucy Turns Three!

We went to a baby shower and they had a bouncy house for all the kids. There weren't that many kids using it though, so Lily was nice enough to take Brixton in there for his first time. He LOVED it! I know, I know...Brixton isn't wearing any pants. It was SUPER hot and he was wearing jeans so I just decided to take them off. A bit trashy, but we were around family ;) The next day, we had Lucy's birthday party at Hacienda Hughes. It was a pirate theme, and true to form, Dad had to create something EXTRAVAGANT for the kids to enjoy. So he drew a giant cardboard cutout of a pirate...complete with a 3D bird and doubloons! Kaiya and Delia A very fun potato sack race! Pinata time! Here's Lucy enjoying her loot while she waits patiently to open her presents...I think Brixton is wondering where his candy is! Look at the plane! Brixton was very happy to sneak some of Fisher's blueberries! A potato sack race just for Lucy and Brixton! Delia is attempting to make a &quo

Saturday Morning Sweetness

Image
On Saturday morning, Tzaddi went to play disc golf for the first time in 3 months and Brixton and I stayed home. Brixton was in such a good mood and he was so chatty! Of course, this is his usual expression...I think he frowns on purpose so that I'll smile at him and then he can smile back! Pixel has become increasingly interested in Brixton. She likes to see just how close she can get before we yell at her. She also really likes trying to lick his face without us knowing. Luckily, I caught it on camera! Although Brixton doesn't look too upset, does he? Now, this is a rather lengthy video and you have to listen to my horrible singing but I promise you it's worth it! We were listening to B is for Bob and Brixton enjoyed the impromptu live concert.

It's Been Three Years

It's been exactly three years since Rowan passed away. It feels like yesterday. In just a bit over a month from now, Rowan will have been gone longer than he was here. We still miss him more than words can say. He taught us so much: How to love How to be loved Compassion Empathy Hope Gratitude Rowan will always be our first child. Rowan will always be Brixton's big brother. I can tell you exactly how we spent every hour on this same day three years ago. I can tell you how the final roller coaster started four days ago...three years ago. I remember making the call to my family; telling them to come right away. I remember listening to Tzaddi as he told his family to get on the next plane. Here's a glimpse into our lives three years ago...and perhaps a glimpse into yours. Nikki (Rowan's daily nurse) Kate (Rowan's therapist) Cousin Quinn Aunt Carleen Auntie Delia (with Lucy in tummy) Nana Noni Jill Kristy Uncle Nate Poppy Tops Auntie Delia & Uncle Nick The Fat Nana
