Prayers for Crew

It's that time of year when sickness hits and poor Crew caught the worst of it. Big brother Cohen was sick for several days after we came home from the hospital and Crew started with cold symptoms on Christmas night. He got progressively worse over the past two days so Luke and I decided it was time to visit the ER today. Poor baby was very low on oxygen and very dehydrated. The chest X-ray shows pneumonia in his right lung so we are admitted to the PICU. Any prayers you can send our way are appreciated. We're hoping with the supportive care he is getting he can make a quick recovery.

Baby Hogs

The baby hogs are here and I love it! Crew hasn't left aunt Nae Nae's arms all day! Big cousin Brielle is pretty helpful too!

We're Home!

We got to come home today and it feels great! The boys were very excited to have mommy and little Crew home! Crew is adjusting well and taking in his big brothers. He is quite the content little guy so far, eating, sleeping and being cute!

Its Another Boy!

Crew Martin was born on December 14, 2012 at 12:56 pm. He weighed 8 lbs. 11 oz. and was 21.5 inches long. He is doing great and so are the rest of us. Mom and Crew will go home tomorrow!

Santa & The Countdown!

Santa made his annual round through Autumn Ridge on the firetruck this past weekend. The boys were so excited and were anxiously listening for the truck and watching out the windows! It was even more exciting because cousins Jack, Will, Grace and Sophie joined in for the fun!

Waiting for the firetruck

Here he comes!

They were thrilled with the candy he threw too!

Besides that, we've been doing a lot of counting down around here these days! Of course the boys are excited for Christmas, but before that comes another big day...Baby!!! 

13 days until Christmas, BUT

only 2 until we welcome a new little one into our family! The boys can't wait! My C-section is scheduled for Friday at noon...we will post pictures and stats as soon as we can!

Christmas Cookies & Gingerbread Houses

Last week we decorated Christmas cookies with Aunt Lissy, Garrett and Mema. 

The boys loved frosting them and loading them with sprinkles!

Cohen enjoyed frosting too!

Today we took the boys to cooking class and they got to decorate gingerbread houses. Camden was set on using a lot of frosting and Cohen was pretty content just eating all of his treats!

Cohen did do a little frosting of his own

Finished!

Camden's finished house!

Holiday Lights

We spent this past week putting up our tree and decorating for Christmas. The boys were so excited to put the tree up in their bedroom and the big tree as well.

Camden helping put on ornaments

Cohen helped decorate a little bit too

We took the boys downtown for the Holiday Lights Show on the night before Thanksgiving. Here are some shots before we left that evening.

Both boys wanted turns with my camera...here is the shot Camden took

And Cohen's shot

The boys loved the lights and just being downtown where there was a lot of action! We took them to the Botanical Conservatory as well to see the live reindeer. 

So excited for the Holiday Season!

Priceless Decoration

I came home from work yesterday to find our kitchen counters decorated with some very special artwork

Camden is really into writing new letters and learning how to read words lately

He was so proud to show Luke and I what he had made for us and to read us the words

To me this is the best decoration there is and I can't even think about taking it down

Trick or Treating

We battled the cold weather and went trick or treating with the kids...Brielle and Bryce were here to join us!

The Toy Story Crew

Cohen really enjoyed running from house to house

Mom followed behind in the car incase anyone got cold :)

Making our stop at Papa D's

The golf cart was a hit too...and helped to speed the process along!

Halloween Celebrating

Last night we went to a Halloween Party and bonfire on Meyers Lane and Aunt Lou Lou's and Uncle Butchie's house. The kids ran around outside until way past dark playing tag. They had a great time.

Of course they had to trick or treat again

Cohen, Camden, Landon, Eva and Dennis

Being goofy for Uncle Luke

Buzz!

Grandma Meyers got all of the grand kids a Haunted Gingerbread house to decorate, so we did ours this weekend!

Cohen helped for a little bit

But it was mostly Camden and daddy

The finished product!
