Crew's Newborn Pictures

We had Crew's pictures taken when he was 1 week old. We were able to get some of him with his eyes open and some sleeping. It was not an easy task,but we love what we got! The big boys weren't too thrilled with participating, but we got one sweet picture of all three!

Basketball & Other Stuff

Camden started his basketball league a couple weeks ago and he LOVES it! He asks everyday if it's basketball practice day. He also loves that daddy is coaching :)

The Cougar Team

Our little #8

When he gets the ball he heads straight to the hoop...wants to shoot it!

Brotherly love...

Loving his playmat!

Dinosaurs!

One weekend while Crew was still in the hospital, Luke took the boys to see the Dinosaur exhibits at the Coliseum. Camden really enjoyed it...Cohen was a bit scared! 

Staying close to daddy

Of course they had all kinds of blow up toys too so the boys loved that!

Favorites from Christmas

We had a great time celebrating Christmas with our families and just being home! The boys were really into celebrating this year and couldn't wait for Santa to come. We spent an entire day with my dad and family and all the kids had a great time playing. My mom and Tim tried something new this year and we had Christmas at a local hotel so the kids could go swimming and play on the indoor playland. It was super fun and kept the kids very entertained! Unfortunately, Luke and I missed the Meyers family Christmas since Crew was in the hospital, but the boys got to spend the entire day celebrating with all of their cousins. (no pictures to show :(

We were home as a family on Christmas Eve and Christmas which was really nice. We drove around looking at lights one last time on Christmas Eve. Christmas morning started early as the boys were up and ready to dig in! They spent the rest of the day playing with their new things and having a great time.

10 days later...

Finally our little Crew is healthy and ready to go home! We cannot thank everyone enough for their prayers and thoughts during this time. We are so excited to all be under one roof again. Crew is cord free, bathed and waiting to be discharged. God is good and we are praising his name for his healing hands and protection on Crews little body! What a fighter we have...we're so proud of him!

The Boys

I've written a lot about Crew lately, but our big boys have been having their own fun! From grandmas houses, to playing with cousins, being spoiled by aunts and uncles, lots of sledding and snow fun, and even firing guns! ( the last one was closely monitored by uncle Paul and didn't take place until Cohen was napping thankfully!) Luke and I have missed them terribly, way more than they've missed us, but we've both taken turns going home at night to spend time with them and allow them to sleep in their own beds. They have also enjoyed many trips to the hospital for elevator rides and good food! They love the cafeteria! We are so blessed to have so much family begging to help us...not sure what we would do without them! Crew had a great night and started taking formula from a bottle! I don't know how much longer were staying, but he has graduated from being cared for as an ICU patient and is strictly a PEDS patient! No more monitors! Yippee!

Update on Crew

Day 6 in the PICU and things are starting to look better for our little man. He had a good day yesterday and they were able to remove the breathing tube last night. Luke and I were both able to hold him for the first time in 5 days...that felt really good! He was wide awake and happy to get that gagging thing out of his throat! He had a good night and we are hoping to try feeding him today. His breathing is still rapid at times because of the illness so were just going to take it slow. Thanks for all your continued support, prayers and visits. We can't wait to get home and be a family again!
