Happy Halloween To All

0042

Yesterday, Thade had a Halloween party and parade at school. James and I didn’t want to miss it, so we bundled up the kiddos and headed to the parade.

Thade was Bat-Man!

The parade moved quickly, and we were all happy that we were there to watch. I was a little sore after the walk though, so I tried to take it easy for the rest of the afternoon.

I hope that everyone has a Happy and safe Halloween today! Have fun trick-or-treating!

Welcome Agnes

Welcome Baby Agnes!

Agnes made her grand arrival on our 8th anniversary, and we couldn’t be happier. She is doing well, adjusting to feedings, and I’m trying to hang in there. We are happy to be home from the hospital, and back home with our boys.

Thanks to Maggie for taking such great care of all of us in the hospital. You were awesome, and made our stay and recovery great. Thanks for all that you have done for us.

We truly appreciate all of the help from everyone. My best friends Shaunna, Stacey, and Maggie  took care of all of the meals for our family, and brought in special meals for James in the hospital too. I know the Grandma’s had fun getting to spend extra time with their grandkids too.

Thanks to all for the prayers and friendships too. We could truly feel the love…

Nine Months Ago…

0042

Nine months ago, we knew our lives would change forever. Dylan wasn’t even two years old,  Thade was keeping busy in pre-school, and I was happy and nervous all at the same time.

Nine months ago seemed like such a long time to get ready for your arrival, but the time has flown by. I’m still not quite ready, but I’m getting there.

Monthly Doctor visits, turned into two week appointments, and then I was seeing at least two Doctors twice a week, and waiting anxiously for the surgery date.  Before I knew it, I had my final two appointments, and I was giving my Doctor a big hug good-bye, till we meet again, in surgery.

Four ultrasounds, countless Doctor’s  appointments, and many prayers later, and you are almost here…

The boy’s and I can’t wait for your arrival.
