Our Sweet Bailey Belle

Hi All,

I just wanted you all to see just how cute our Bailey is. She is the best baby I have ever had - super happy, content, and the apple of her daddy's eye. We feel soo blessed to have her apart of our family! Here are a couple of my favorite recent pictures of her. Wait till you see how much Hudson and Bailey look alike. Wow.

Hey Everyone,
I just wanted you all to get a glimpse of our happy Hudson enjoying some new experiences. Tonight was the first time in Hudson's life he ENJOYED taking a bath. We are sooo excited to see our boy do things that we have longed for since he was born.

At the end of last week we were able to change one of Hudson's meds that caused him to have diarrhea, and upon switching to a different medicine he has stopped having super explosive diapers. Besides the obvious reason, it has been so nice for Hudson also because now he has a much bigger appetite, eating many more things again.

We hope you enjoy the videos and pictures. They sure were fun to experience!

Fun days

Hi everybody! I know it has been awhile, but things have been both busy and fantastic around here. Ty's school is wonderful and he is still loving it, though Rustin misses him terribly. Hudson, though, is making great progress. His minor surgery was just that, "minor", as he was in and out in about 1/2 an hour. The whole process took all day, but the procedure was no big deal. He is now in the 50th percentile for his weight and 25th percentile for his height for his age and he is making tremendous progress of catching up in these areas. Also, he is making great progress in his leg, pelvis, and back strength as was evidenced today when he began to stand on his own up against our couch. Oh, how we will celebrate when he can walk freely! This is a really big step for him, though, and we are extremely excited. We've posted a few videos for you to enjoy. Thank you for continuing to pray for our family.

with love,
Donny and Kristi

Videos of Ty's 1st Day of School

Ty's first day of school!

Today was Ty's first day of school! He loves his new class (11 kids) and he told us that he has never been as excited about anything in his whole life as he is about his school. He can't wait to learn how to read, write, paint, and do other things he can't even think of yet (in his words).

He had a great time and is "super excited" to go again tomorrow, even while we are at the hospital for Hudson's surgery. I can't believe our Ty Ty is old enough to go to school. Where did those 5 years go. I will miss him at home,but I know he is ready for this and I couldn't be happier to send him to his amazing school. We couldn't be more proud of him. Plus, doesn't he look so cute in his uniform.
