Brixton's First Ever Birthday Party

Brixton's First Ever Birthday party was a huge success!
Doesn't our little man look so grown up?
He had such a blast!

So many people came by to help us celebrate that I didn't get pictures of everyone, but here are some of the highlights:

USA was playing Ghana in the World Cup the same time we had Brixton's party. Gerald was nice enough to bring a TV so no one would miss the game!

And no party can be complete without the pinata!
Too bad Brixton wasn't that interested :(

Don't worry...Bella, Lucy and all the other kids stepped up to help out!

There were some minor technical issues with the "hanging" but the guys took care of it!

Not all of the kids had a chance to hit the pinata, but I don't think anyone was too worried about it - all they wanted was the candy!

Brixton had the most fun eating his birthday cake...as you can see here from the video:



Here are the actual photos:

Do you think he enjoyed it?
It looks like he ate a smurf!

The party was wrapping up and I was busy saying goodbye to some friends.
All of a sudden I turned around to see this:
That's what I get for not cleaning up right away!

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
