Thank you all so much for the prayers, comments, emails, cards and fb messages you sent us over Brenham's birthday, they mean the world to us. They really do.
The celebration lasted all weekend starting with a visit from Nicole and some ice cream cake Friday night! Thanks so much, Nicole!
We chose to officially celebrate his birthday on the 28th this year since it was a Sunday and we were all together. We visited the church that our former youth pastor is now preaching at, he did Brenham's funeral service and also baptized Grayden so it was really special to us to go visit his new church, after church we went for lunch at TGIFridays.
We headed to the cemetery in the afternoon and released 2 blue balloons.
Its hard to believe he would have been 2 years old already but at the same time it feels like an eternity. We miss him so much but celebrate that he is in Heaven having the party of a lifetime. We look forward to the day we will all be together as a family.

Kate - I meant to post my comment yesterday but forgot - God Bless you all on this day. Your sweet angel is always watching you and guiding you. These pictures took my breath away LITERALLY.
Amazing.
Blessings sweetie!

The picture of Grayden with Brenhams grave put me in tears. That is so precious! I cannot wait to see them playing together in heaven! Your boys are lucky to have such wonderful parents!
Happy birthday sweet Brenham. The pic of Grayden at Brenham's graveside made me cry. Praying for you all during this time of bittersweetness.
I don't even know you but read your story. A hard but beautiful story!
Those pictures are beautiful & priceless!
Love from Wyoming! :)
I've been "lurking" for many, many months now. I found your blog from Nicole's. You both are such amazingly strong women. You inspire me...
Happy Birthday to Brenham. May God continue to bless and keep you and your loved ones safe and happy.
I have been following your blog for a while now and absolutely love how you keep Brenham's memory alive. My angel, Agapito would have been 4 yrs old this Saturday. Unlike your family and friends, mine shy away and it disappoints me. It is like he never existed but he did. I have his ultrasound pictures and his heartbeat on videotape. He lived in me for 20 weeks and died in his daddy's arms. My heart is still broken but God blessed me with a daughter. We even had a scare with my pregnancy with her. I had to stay on hospital bedrest for 3 months. She is now 2 and my pride and joy.
The picture of Grayden touching Brenham's headstone is such a sweet sweet picture!! I'm sure Brendham is one proud big brother and I believe that he had one fantastic birthday in heaven!
Such great pictures, and what a great way to hold his memory forever by celebrating for him/with him!
I'm so glad you were able to have such a great weekend. You honored him perfectly! I hope that you have been able to find peace and comfort through all of this.
You both are such strong, beautiful parents. how wonderful that you are celebrating this day and looking at the positive as much as you can.
These pictures are just beautiful.
Thank you for sharing your story, you are a true inspiration!!
Such beautiful pictures, Katie! I'm glad you were able to celebrate his birthday as a family.
Amazing pictures for an amazing little boy and his amazing family! Happy 2nd Birthday Brenham!
Your story and your positive attitude are always an inspiration to me. I loved the picture of you and Nicole:)
The picture of Grayden at Brenham's grave brought tears to my eyes, such a sweet picture.
Hard to believe it has been two years already- loved the picture of the three of you by the gravesite. What a glorious celebration it will be when your boys get to meet finally.
The picture with grayden by Brenhams stone was a breathtaking contrast. So glad that you could share those personal moments with us. Blessings Lubbers Family!
I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet baby son. That picture of his brother at the gravesite is the sweetest thing - it brought tears to my eyes. We lost our 1st daughter to prematurity years ago, and our subsequent 3 children know all about her and visited the cemetery countless times.They knew they were loved, and the death of their sister made me strive harder to be a mother, even in the face of medical complications.Thinking of all of you....
Blessings, Sarita Boyette

The picture of Grayden at the gravesite is precious. Bless you and your family
katie I must say that you are probably one of the strongest people I know, I know we were never that close but know I admire your strength and courage, I'm so happy to see you get your happy ending, I don't think I could ever be as strong if it happened to me
I am going through some difficulties with my own son and my brother right now (kidney issues with my brother....I know you can relate to that!) so maybe I am just more emotional but that picture of Brenham's stone and the one of Grayden touching it brought me to tears...bless you all!
Love the picture of Grayden touching the grave. I have often dreamed of the day Grant will be able to do that when we go visit his big sisters. You were my first "babylost" friend and you are always in my thoughts and prayers!
Love the photos! I love how you celebrated him. Very special.
I can't believe it's been two years already.
Wishing Brenham a happy birthday. What a wonderful celebration for him!
