Merry Christmas!

Thanks to all of you who spoiled the boys! We hardley had to buy them anything. We hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas as well.

Thanks for the cute matching pajamas and the Transformers Grandpa Nate & Grandma Cindy!

The Team GeoTrax airport was a huge hit. Thanks Grandpa Dan & Grandma Sheri!

Merry Christmas (almost) from the hospital

On the 23rd I took Beckett to the pediatrician because his breathing was really fast and hard and he hadn't been eating or drinking much. The doctor declared that he was in respiratory distress, was dehydrated and could have RSV. After 3 hours in the doctor's office they sent us straight to the hospital to get Beckett some fluids through IV. After way too much poking and digging they couldn't find veins in his arms or feet so they put the IV through a vein in his head (gross!) and made a little cap out of a styrofoam cup so he wouldn't pull it out. They took some chest x-rays and discovered he also had some pneumonia in his lungs and need to spend the night to get some antibiotics in him. He was pretty lethargic that day, but the next day he was up playing and ready to go. We were so happy to be able to take him home in time for Christmas!

Happy Birthday Luke!

For those of you who don't know, Luke is Brandon's stuffed animal dog and best friend. Brandon woke up the other day and was determined that it was Luke's birthday. He insisted on making a cake and singing to him.

Failed attempts at a picture Christmas card

For three days straight I tried to take the boys' picture in front of the Christmas tree to send out some photo cards, but after about 50 tries I decided to give up hope that they would both sit still, look at the camera, and smile at the same time. Sorry no cards this year! Maybe next year...

Brandon's Christmas Program

Brandon's preschool had their Christmas program this morning. They've been practicing songs for the past few weeks. Brandon sang pretty well. Most of the kids were waving and yelling hi to their parents, but Brandon was Mr. Serious. The kids were super cute. Brandon was happy Dad took time off work to come and see him.
