I had a baby boy born on April 15th. He tried so hard to come on Lucas’ birthday, but he didn’t quite make it. I sat around eating cookie cake thinking of Lucas and telling the baby that this was the day. He got close enough I figure. We named him John Marshall Brox Rosenfeld. The John part is for Lucas. For most of his childhood, my parents and grandparents called him John Lucas, and not only when he was in trouble. I missed him during my pregnancy, I know he would have loved to see the big belly. And I miss him now that he isn’t here to see Brox. Chance told me that taking care of his children was like taking care of Lucas as much as was possible because they are 1/4 Lucas. So I think of Brox that way, part of Lucas living on, and I get to take care of him. We’ll be hitting the swimming pool in a couple of weeks.

The first time we took Lucas in the pool was June 1980 so he was about 6 to 8 weeks old. The pool in Millbrook was the center of our summer time family activities. There are several pictures of that day with all four kids,
then Jerry and the kids and some of just the kids. Most of them are very dark and I am unable to get them to scan well enought to see but this one is me with Lucas,Tarlie and Gabe.
The water was very warm that day… I remember the kids and I were swimming and Lucas was sleeping but when I stuck my foot in the pool it was warm and I thought we would get him in when he woke up… from this picture it looks like he might have just slept through the whole thing anyway. It is hot today… a good day for the pool or the slip-n-slide on the front yard.
Or maybe just nap by the pool after a hard swim….
