a placenta in a pear tree

It's been warm enough lately for us to plant Brixton's placenta tree. We got him a pear tree with four types of pear grafted on it. Hopefully the pears will be fruiting near his birthday in years to come.

We decorated cupcakes for a momrising.org event with Hiram, Josephine, Desmond and their mamas. Thanks to Oma for the pictures.

Pigtails

Except for her bangs, which I cut myself occasionally, we've never cut Unity's hair. Now it's getting quite long and she's having fun with pigtails and barrettes.

Joey, Brix and Dez

Anya, Oma and I were all in grad school together, and now we have kids just a few months apart. Josephine was born in September, Brixton in October and Desmond in November. Here we are hanging at the local kid-friendly coffeehouse, with big kid Unity.

It fits!

When Brixton was born, Grandma Cindy gave him a beautiful sweater and blanket that she crocheted. The blanket we could use right away but the sweater was a little big. Well, not anymore!
