Well, it's official. The
Brassington Cousins (my generation) is officially procreating at a faster rate than our parents. To be honest, I never thought we'd even match it let alone supercede it. WOW!
The frontiersmen in this arena are Jodi and Mark with
Seb and
MaKayla. They were the ones that forged ahead and paved the way for the rest of us.
Now, here is the story of a twelve month period between March 2008 and February 2009:
- March 2008 - Angela was born
- August 2008 - baby
Ruus is expected to Dawn and Marc
- November 2008 - baby boy
Smoot is expected to
Leiana and Kevin
-
Febrary 2009 - baby Lees is expected to Liz and Brad
SHEESH! And as Liz pointed out today... It could EASILY be 6 kids in 18 months... With the recent nuptials of my brother David to Michelle and to the upcoming wedding of Anne-Marie to Brent in Mexico.
If I remember correctly of how we cousins came to be, it was essentially 1 per year in the family with a few exceptions (and some gaps).
We've really outdone ourselves as
Brassingtons eh? I was thinking, perhaps we need to create a group on
facebook called "The
Brassington Mommies" for all of us new moms (that includes you too Jodi
) and mommies-to-be.
I think hand-me-downs are going to start circulating again through the families. I'm already starting to pack up some of Angela's stuff. I've packed gender neutral separate from girl stuff. Sorry Leiana, you're outta luck due to location and in the fact that I'm guessing that your boy is not going to be wearing pink much. ;) unless it's the color of a team jersey or some such necessity.
Do you think we should start a facebook group mommies? Let me know. ;)
Well, here is to ALL the Brassington mommies out there. Including our own moms and our wonderful Gramma Betty Brassington who was our wonderful and loving and sweetheart of a matriarch to the Vancouver Brassington Clan.
(Thanks go to Liz as well for letting me know that yes, people do read this and enjoy it. She gave me the smile to write today).
Now, back to baby Angela. She just woke up and needs some food.
First let me explain Murky. Murky is Uncle Steve's pet turtle. They have had the turtle for a very long time. Like a member of the family. We've joked that Murky and Angela are cousins. :)
I wish I could record her sounds that go along with these images. She coo's and giggles and all the other fun sounds. He talks with her tongue hanging out even. ;)
