Happy Birthday, Beez!

Today was the day, six years ago, that our son Rowan was born.

The labor lasted a total of 26 hours from the first contraction to the last...10 hours of which were spent at the hospital. At the end of the day, we had a beautiful little baby boy who looked exactly like his Daddy. The next several days were a blur of confusion, happiness, and dashed expectations. We were soon told that we would be lucky to celebrate even one birthday with our little boy.
Fortunately for us, we were able to celebrate three birthdays and now we've celebrated just as many birthdays with Rowan as without him.
Rowan was a beautiful baby with an even more beautiful soul. We all learned so much from him and we miss him every day.
We know that Rowan would have made a wonderful older brother for Brixton...and we're sure that he watches out for him every day.

Life changed for us six years ago..and we wouldn't change one minute.
We Love You, Beezie!

I wish I had pictures to post from his actual birth day and when he turned 1, but I didn't have a digital camera then - sorry!

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 ...

It's About Darn Time!

This has gotten absolutely ridiculous! I find that I'm so busy running after a 2-yr old while a 5-month old hangs off my boob that I hardly have time to take any photos, let alone upload and post to the blog. MY APOLOGIES! So here's the latest and greatest since the last time I posted! You'll find that most of these pix were taken on a weekend morning...hence most of the pj and diaper shots. I haven't even edited the photos, so sorry in advance for any red eye! Easter We had an Easter egg hunt in the backyard...look how tiny Sawyer was! Later on we went to The Cannington Manor for some Easter crafts... ...and another Easter Egg Hunt! Then we were silly enough to think that we could all take some family photos...of course, after the kids have run out of their sugar high! Mid-April Wrestling with Daddy after school at the park! Backyard fun at Hacienda Hughes Hanging at the Park Pooping on the Potty! May Too cool for school! Here's Brixton helping with the laundry! I...
