Pictures from June and July are now uploaded on this site: see the link on the right.  The password is the same as that for Alonzo’s pictures.

The first shots of Lillian are near the end of the gallery.

July 25th, 2014 – What’s in a name?

Lillian-

An older Brewer family name, whose linguistic origin is either as a diminutive of Elizabeth or a lengthening of Lily. Elizabeth, and especially its derivative “Betty”, is common on both sides of the family as first and middle names.

Marjorie-

Lillian’s great grandmother (Brent’s father’s mother).  Marjorie Jean Dilts Brewer, with Cyril, raised four children while moving from Tacoma, Washington, to Montana, to Palmer, Alaska, to California, and finally back to Washington. She was active in the PEO and the extension office in Alaska, and teaching music and voice.

Brewer-

Well that’s our last name…

 

July 21st, 2014 Home again!

Today, Catie and Lillian came home from the hospital. Lots of resting, eating, burping (the baby), and changing diapers for all. 🙂 Many thanks to Lillian’s godmother, Erin, for watching Alonzo while Mommy and Daddy got everyone packed up and relocated. Pictures upcoming!

 

May 25th, 2014 Off to the Pool

Today, after a long hiatus Mom and Dad took you swimming in our neighbor’s pool.  It was cold, but I think we will have to do it again soon. Gotta make sure you know how to swim, here in the desert.

Just in case of a Noah’s ark size flood, just because God said he wouldn’t flood the earth doesn’t mean us humans can’t do it ourselves.

May 13th, 2014 Where is ?

Tonight at dinner I quizzed Alonzo on where things and people were in the kitchen.  It is crazy how much he knows. He surprised us all when I asked, “Where is Grandpa’s wine?”, and he pointed straight to the bottle and glass on the table in front of grandpa.

I guess toddlers really are sponges for information.
