6 years ago today...


I sat in a hospital bed feeling like I had been hit by a bus and unable to hold my brand new baby. Logan was in NICU and would continue to be in there for the next 10 days. He was hooked up to feeding tubes, respirators, heart monitors and every other kind of machine you could think of. It was a lot to handle to see this little baby, (a giant in the NICU though at 10 lbs) so new to the world and not be able to hold him, kiss him and whisper "I love you's." Brandon and his dad gave him a blessing on this day 6 years ago that he would recover and be healthy and as you can tell that blessing came true. Logan was able to come home right before Thanksgiving. That year we felt truly blessed.
(2 months old)
It is hard for me to believe that this little guy is now 6. He is such an amazing kid, he's a patient big brother who takes care of his brother and sister.

(1 year old)

He loves playing Lego's and going to school. His favorite part of school is recess because "they can like play and stuff."
When he grows up he wants to be a fireman.His favorite color: "all of them"
His favorite book is: Duck on a bike


Logan had his friend birthday party last night and it was Lego themed. We played Leog bingo, pin the lego sign on the lego brick, Lego Agent scavenger hunt, and then Lego Guy pinata, ( I was a little sad that it was destroyed:) He has a great group of church friends and had a great time.

Logan we love you, and are so glad that you are in our family!

I hope Logan has a great birthday! Why was he in the NICU for so long? Jackson had to for a few hours and that nearly killed me I couldn't imagine 10 days! He's such a handsome boy!
