Where do I even begin when it has been this long.......Well, I will start with the beginning of fall. It was a very busy few months. (As always!)
My boys love decorating for the holidays, and I let Ernie pick out some new decorations. They quickly became fast friends.
My boys had their first cousin on my side of the family arrive! So cute. We didn't get to meet him for a few months, but we made up for it since he was here the whole month of December!
Our friends, the Schurigs invited us over to paint pumpkins. The boys thought it was really fun, and they did a great job!
Here is the finished product displayed by Caleb....
I think I will paint them every year. So cute! (If I don't say so myself :)
My second sweet little nephew was born a few weeks later. Little Emerson was a big guy, but had some fluid in his lungs and ended up in the NICU for a week. It about killed my boys that they couldn't hold or see him. But don't worry, since they live about 2 minutes away, whether Natalie likes it or not, we have made up for it by seeing him at least a few times a week :).
Here is his proud Grandpa holding him in the NICU.
The day after Emerson was born, we had a birthday party for my baby sister who is now 18. It was fun, and decorated so tastefully. It is a good thing Layne has Micah and I for sisters.......
That night we went over and saw this sweet little guy again, who was already improving drastically!
A week later, my boys FINALLY got to meet their new little cousin.
As we were leaving, Caleb said, "Mom, I really could just hold him all day!"
I much more from the Fall to talk about, so more posts coming soon!
