Something Old, Something New...

I was trying to gather some old toys together to take to Marley, our niece, this weekend... of course everything I picked up the boys did not want to part with! Conner loves his "Pooh ride" but it is a bit small for him now... We will see what ends up making the trip with us!

We got new winter coats for the boys today so they had fun trying them on tonight. I really wanted the green one to go to Conner and the blue one to Ben, but Ben would have none of that. He refused to put the blue one on and kept saying "mine geen" so... Ben gets the green one..

Conner was very content with the blue coat, but was really busy building at the time I wanted to take his picture...

The Ninth Year...

Today marks our 9th year of marriage! Such amazing things have happened in the last 9 years... On November 10, 2001, we said "I do" and never imagined what the next years would bring us. We could not have foreseen all the struggles and heartache, but we also had no idea how blessed we would be and how much we would learn in the next 9 years. We were naive enough to assume that nothing bad would happen to us, but even though we know better now, we have learned that no matter how hard it gets, we are going to be okay!!! Together, we can survive anything! I have no regrets... everything in the past 9 years has led us here, to this day... to this moment... when I am overcome with how much love we have in our lives and how lucky I am to have you for a husband and to be blessed with two little boys who God created just for us! Life is good...

Happy Anniversary Nicholas... my best friend, my husband, the father of my children, my rock when I feel like falling apart, the man who can make me laugh when I feel down, the man who can make me smile when life gets too tough, the person who I have the privilege of spending the rest of my life with... I love you so much!!!

Strong but Scared...

Well, we survived another hospital stay this week... Ben's oxygen level dropped too low (again) so we were taken from our doctor's office by ambulance to the hospital on Tuesday morning. We had to stay two nights this time, but Ben is doing much better now. Almost completely back to his regular lovable self (despite all the meds he is on now!) Such a strong little guy! This time was a bit harder because Ben is starting to get really scared of being at the hospital and of doctors in general. He was very upset whenever someone came into our room to check him over or give him meds. On Tuesday night he and I were sitting on his bed and he said to me "I scared mama, scared..." It was so hard to hear him say that... but we got through it and hopefully we won't have to do that again for a while! The boys got some bonus time with Nana and Gramps, and Aunt Peggy and Uncle Brian this week as our family rallied around us to help out! Let's all pray for a nice "normal" week this week!!!!

Happy Halloween!

Conner ended up not feeling so well for Halloween so we adjusted our plans a little! We trick or treated to a couple houses on our street and then spent the rest of the evening handing out candy. The boys both had a ball!
