Morey Mania

Guest Blogger - Auntie D I asked Delia to post the blog this week since she babysat Brixton - enjoy! So Brixton had his first ever slumber party! Cira and Tzaddi went to a concert, and had their first night away from him, much to MY joy! ...and, of course, Lucy and Nick were thrilled as well! I didn't get pictures of everything, mostly because I was chasing around TWO kids all day! LUNCHTIME! Yummy apple filled whole wheat quesadillas! As you can see, Lucy thought it would be best that SHE sat in the highchair... We went to a baby shower, and this is the only proof of my outing with the two, even though Brixton is kind of hidden. Hey, cut me some slack, I don't think in "blog picture" terms. When we got home, Lucy and I thought it would be a great idea to teach Brixton how to safely jump and walk on the couch. No, he is not trying to get off, he is trying to get back up. After dinner and no nappage from either child, I gave them both a shower and then it was time to ...

Can you believe I survived my first week without Tzaddi! I can't! Of course, I've been so busy that I haven't had a second to take a picture of Brixton. So pictures from last week will have to suffice! Here are a few pix of Lucy and Brixton playing around in Lucy's room. It was the night we got back from Portland and they were very excited to see each other! Doesn't it look like everyone was getting ready for Mardi Gras? You don't want to know what Delia had to do to get those beads ;) Awww! On Sunday, Tzaddi and I were both busy running around the house. We each thought that the other was looking after Brixton. But that was NOT the case. Luckily our house isn't too big because we found him after just a minute. GUESS WHERE??? Did either one of us think to grab Brixton out of doggie jail? Nope. We ran for the camera and then made Pixel get inside with him. I think she was a bit confused... I guess Brixton missed Pixel more than we thought!

We took our first vacation in over 3 years - and our first ever as a family! We were lucky enough to spend almost 10 days in Portland visiting Tzaddi's entire family (everyone except Oma & Tante Jeanne, that is). We had a such a great time...hope you enjoy the pictures! It's a long post ;) Brixton did great on the flight over - here he is enjoying a short layover in Sacramento! Ilja's House The stairs at Ilja and Ingrid's house were rather enticing for Brixton . He was pretty fast at climbing up...I think because he was racing to get away from us. This is in Ilja's backyard; it was a bit chilly. More stairs! These were the most challenging for us since there was no side rail! Oregon Coast - The Beach House We spent 5 days at a beach house on the Oregon Coast - a "vacation within a vacation". It was fantastic...we were just able to relax and enjoy each other's company. This was the semi-private beach below our backyard. Brixton had fu...
