Weatherboy

 Hudson and his Cub Scout group toured a local TV station. They each tried out the green screen. They were even on the news! What a fun experience!

Beckett's Baptism

 Happy baptism day, Beckett! Welcome to God's family!

Halloween Redo

 Our Halloween was not so great this year because of Ash being in the hospital and the bad weather for the kids who braved trick or treating.... So we did a redo to at least get a few cute pictures!

Mingle & Jingle

 Our first annual Mingle & Jingle open house was today! We had nine vendors (Thirty-One, Scentsy, Young Living, Pampered Chef, Mary Kay, FW Chocolate Co., Lia Sophia, Food Snob, & Jamberry)  and a crowded house, which made for a great turnout!

Ashy Heading Home!

 Today is bittersweet. Ashton gets to come home today, which we are all very excited for (and by the smile on his face, I'd say he was the most excited), but it also means that this is real and it's coming home with us. Ash wasn't cured at the hospital and they aren't sending us home with a healthy kid. It means that Doug and I are on our own to manage and care for his diabetes and that we'll have to do this forever. It is very overwhelming to think about. But for now we are just happy he is doing better and he can't wait to play with all of his toys and sleep in his own bed!

October in Review

Still not a fan of getting a haircut

Everything Hello Kitty

First successful magic trick!

He does NOT want to be Elmo for Halloween!

Happy Halloween

 Check out this crazy crew! They were geared up for some trick or treating! They braved the elements (freezing cold, strong winds and snow/rain) for about 45 minutes before heading back in! I don't think they were too disappointed though because they were coming back for a sleepover at the Meyer's! This year it wasn't quite the happiest of Halloween's with the bad weather and Ashy being in the hospital but we made the best of it! 

Too Little for This...

 This is definitely not a typical Halloween for us. But Ash is definitely doing better. This morning I came in to this semi smiling face, which is much better than yesterday. It still breaks my heart to see him in this hospital bed but at least he has all of his wires out and is sitting up playing. Doug and I had about 2 hours training on how to check his blood sugar and how to give his injections and a crash course on diabetes in general. Then we met with the nutritionist to go over his diet. It was a lot to take in! And it was one of the worst experiences having to give your kid a shot while he screamed and cried...

Bobo made him feel a little better
