Happy Birthday Brody

What a miraculous gift you were, dear Brody.   Arriving 7 weeks early, smiling moments after birth, you are our miracle.  Your journey has been amazing, full of surprise and wonder through each year.

 

my how you've grown!

Happy 6th Birthday, love.

Birthday boys

Brody and Logan celebrated their birthdays with their friends at our house this year.  

Transformers was the obvious choice.

My  poor attempt at the symbols.

Brody asked to have the Deceptacon Symbol on his cake

And Logan was happy to be an Autobot.

Snow finally

We had a nice 6 inches of snowfall last night - the fluffy kind, so cold it's like zillions of ice crystals.

Farnesworth Pumpkin Festival

While attending a fall festival at the Farnesworth Museum in Rockland, we met the parents of one of my former flute students.  Marti happens to be an incredibly talented professional photographer, and also happened to be toting along her tools of the trade that day.  She kindly offered to take some pictures of my little men after having their faces painted...

Logan is 4!

He was a wailing mass of dark hair and fists, all 8 lb 14 oz of him, and I blinked.  He is still a wailing mass of dark hair and fists, but he is no longer 21 3/4 inches - now he is 43 inches, and 46 lb.   How did this happen so fast?

We enjoyed a quiet celebration at home.

Apparently mud was on the agenda...

Logan enjoyed his second party at preschool today, complete with friends, chocolate and Transformer decorations.

From the mouth of my babe

"Mommy, I transformed Optimus all by myself.  Cuz I'm smart like that."

Me- "Logan, you need to leave that toy at preschool.    It belongs to your teacher.  You can put it on her desk or in your cubby.  Where do you want to put it?"
Logan- "In my pocket."

Me- angry, mad face because boys are mud fighting.
Logan - "Grandmommy makes a old mad face when she's mad at us."

  So hard to believe this stinker turns 4 YEARS OLD in a mere 3 days.  Where has the time gone?
