Thirty-Three

My birthday weekend started off wonderfully with a Jewel concert. Mom watched Brixton for us and we went with Delia and Angela to check out the first concert at Western Metal (in PETCO park). Enjoy the pix!
Wait, there is only one picture you ask?
Yup, that's mainly because Jewel didn't show up.
She was sick - boo!!!

We spent a leisurely Saturday morning just lolling around in the backyard.
It was a gorgeous morning!

Saturday evening we met with Sarah Tolson to take our family photo for our holiday card.
Needless to say, Brixton knew we were up to something because he did NOT cooperate. No matter how hard we tried, we couldn't get him to sit still for one second. Nothing made him happy. He was a complete fussybottom.

However, that did NOT stop him from being absolutely adorable once we got home.

What a ham!

This is Brixton saying "cheese" for the camera, can you tell?

Kisses for Daddy!

And kisses for Mommy!

On Sunday, we put Brixton to work - once again!
We felt that it was long overdue that the boy learn how to use a drill!

Can you tell the drill is a bit heavy?

Ah, Daddy to the rescue!

After the screen was fixed, it was time to mow the lawn.
And you know how much Brixton loves to sweep!

Nothing is better than watching the kiddies open presents...it's Max and Ruby!

At the end of the evening, I remarked how no one took my 33rd birthday picture and handed Tzaddi the camera.
Who cares if Brixton was in the middle of dinner?
It was now or never!
Happy Birthday to Me!

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

Image
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
