Happy 8th Birthday Hunter

Wow!!! It's been 8 years already. We can not believe that Hunter is 8 years old. Today (despite our crazy week) we had a nice simple birthday party. Hunter has been so excited about his party, we could not bear to break his heart and cancel the party. He had all his friends from the neighborhood and a few other friends come down to the pool for pizza and cake. Everyone had a wonderful time, especially Hunter! Thank you everyone for making Hunter's birthday special!

Update on Landon

We had a very big scare this past week...

If you haven't already heard, we spent most of last week (Tues even-Fri) in the hospital with Landon. He started running a fever Tues evening, so the doctor advised up to take him to the children's hospital. When we arrived his temp was 102.0. They wanted to keep him and run a lot of test to make sure everything was ok. He had to have a spinal tap and a lot of blood work. Thank the lord, everything came back negative and Landon is now back to normal. He was given IV antibiotics for the days that we were there, and once he was fever free for 24 hours, we were aloud to bring Mr. Landon home. Hunter stayed with our wonderful neighbors and Jim and I stayed up at the hospital with Landon. It's has been a crazy emotional few days, but things are finally back to normal.

Thank you to everyone who prayed for Landon. I'm so excited to report that we finally have our little man back to normal. We hope that everyone else is doing well.

Good Night

New this week...

Hello, everyone. I know I'm not doing very well at all with new post. I'm so sorry! Each day goes by so fast and is usually crazy. When Landon is sleeping, I'm either sleeping too, cleaning up the house, doing laundry, or trying to get a shower. Our day's together are just flying by.

Last weekend we had our first visitors Bammy, Aunt Ang, Ashlyn, and Bella were here. We had a wonderful time, but it went by way too fast. It was so cute to see Bella and Landon together. They are only two weeks apart, but Ang swears that Landon is bigger. They actually weigh about the same, but I think because Landon is taller, he looks bigger then Bella.

This weekend Bumpa is here to meet Landon and spend time with Hunter for his birthday. He just arrived today and the boys have a busy weekend planned. Sunday all the boys (minus Landon) are going to a Braves game. Hunter is very excited, because he just got a new braves jersey! It should be a great bonding time for the boys.

Well, Landon is such a wonderful baby. He is eating about every three hours during the day and some nights he gives me a four to five hour stretch! His favorite thing right now is his swing and some tummy time! He enjoys sleeping on his tummy during the day and on his side at night. Hunter is still being a big helper. He enjoys just sitting and holding his brother when I need him to, but if he start moving around a lot, he's ready for me to take him back. Jim is back at work now, so it's just me and the boys during the day. Once Jim is home, I usually get a little break which is nice. Jim and Hunter had Landon watching his first baseball game on TV the other night. They are already getting him into sports! I'm going to be a sports widow.

Well, I hope that everyone is doing well. I promise to try and post more often. Keep in touch!

Landon...One Week today

Wow! We have had one amazing week. I actually can not believe that Landon is a week already. We took Landon to the doctors on Sat and he is already back to his birth weight, which is wonderful! He is doing what normal newborns do... eat, poop, and sleep! He is just such a sweet little baby. Jim goes back to work tomorrow, which makes me very sad :0( He is such a wonderful daddy and we have really enjoyed our time together! Hunter is still a very proud big brother! He has been a wonderful help. He is very willing to do what he can to help us out, but his favorite thing to do is just sit and hold Landon. Well, we have had a lot of firsts this past week. I'm attaching some pics to share. Enjoy!

Love Always,
