Prayers for my Family

The last few weeks have been pretty trying for my family on my Dad's side. A few days before Thanksgiving my cousin Steve and his wife Andrea lost their baby girl born at 5 months (preterm). Her name was Mereck Loy .

My parents told me this morning that my uncle Dan has also been hospitalized for a collapsed lung. He was scheduled for foot surgery on Thursday but was hospitalized for that instead.

Now tonight we received word that my Dad's oldest sister Ione Freeland has lost her life to a horrible disease called Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease. She was only 68 years old and was just diagnosed with this the end of October. This is a very rare disease(1 in a million). Below is a link to read more about the disease. We knew it was only a matter of time as this is a fatal disease but it's always hard to accept the inevitable.

Please keep my all of my family in your prayers, especially during this Holiday season.

Family Picture Time!

Wow, I can't believe how time is just flying by. Avery is now 1 month old! She continues to be such a good little girl. She sleeps a lot and her brother still loves her!! We took our family pictures last week. The kids did so well! Here are some of the proofs:

Happy 1st Thanksgiving, Avery! 2 weeks old!

Wow, I can't believe Thanksgiving came and went. We were lucky to have my sister, brother, and Mom and Dad come down to help us celebrate our first holiday in CO. They all came on Wednesday. It was the first for all, except Mom, to meet Avery. Tom and Mitch came to our house and celebrated Thanksgiving with us. We all had a great time. And it was Avery's 2 week birthday. She's just been a little honey, such a good baby. I am doing great too. I am recovering much faster than I was thinking. I think you almost have to when you have a rambunctious toddler to chase after. Bryce did a great job of taking care of Brayden. The two were inseparable! Mom, Dad and Bryce left early on Sunday morning and my sister was able to spend the entire next week with us (she had work here). 3 more weeks until we see everyone again for Christmas.

It's crazy how BIG Brayden seems to me, especially when changing their diapers!

Hey Mom, what's my old outfit doing in Avery's room, it still fits me!!

No, sweetie, 2 years ago this outfit fit you :)

2 Weeks Old!

I am so alert!

Avery's one week old

Wow, I can't believe how fast this last week's gone. We got out of the hospital on Monday morning and it was good to be home with my family. Brayden's been such an incredible big brother. He's always giving his little sister kisses and saying "Hi baby sister". He's doing so well. And she's just been a little angel! She's so easy and I don't know if it's because I have already gone through it once already or if she's really this good. Here are some pictures from the hospital:

I love my baby Sister!
