Today our little buddy turned 7! We have had a good two days of celebrating - yesterday with a party for friends at Lighthouse point, including games, a pinata, and an absolute gift of a gorgeous warm fall day by the Sound; today after school we celebrated with Pepe's pizza (the local gold standard by many accounts) and then came home for cake with some family friends and then presents. It really was a fun two days, and our kids talk about Brandi but don't seem to miss her actively.
As for me, and "Nana and Pappy" it was bittersweet - more sweet than bitter, but I missed her a lot in the last two days, remembering when we had a party for eli there two years ago when we knew the cancer had come back and were capturing moments as best we could. It was a magical day two years ago - I'm not sure these two days were magical, but they were much better than I imagined it. Eli has a few day's work of Lego's in front of him, with Katie all too willing to help out as she can!
I'll write more soon, but I wanted to say hi and thanks for the messages we received concerning Eli's brithday. It means so much to hear from you all as you get a chance to say hi.
in Him
Matt
