Christmas 2023











Christmas was a little quiet this year, but we loved having Kelly's family and Craig with us this year. Rowan is so fun to watch and we love our time with Craig, Kelly and Collin whenever we can get it!

Welcome baby Lucy!












Baby Lucy was a little slow to get here. We waiting with Sarah shopping and going to the gym. Sarah carried her so well!! When the time came, Sarah did amazing (and Ethan too) but Lucy needed a little extra oxygen so they took her to the NICU with Ethan. I stayed with Sarah and could tell she wasn't doing too good. She lost a lot of blood and started to pass out. Gary and I went home and Ethan stayed with Sarah and Lucy. It was a long night, but all went well. Lucy came home with oxygen but seemed like she was doing really well. It was a lot for new parents. Just before we left, Sarah started feeling really sick, so we took her in and turns out she still had some residue from labor that had to be removed. We kept Lucy overnight and Ethan stayed with Sarah. Lucy never did take to breastfeeding very well, but that worked out ok for me, cause I was able to feed her the breastmilk from the bottle. By the time we left, mother and baby were doing well. We loved spending this time with all of them! We love you baby Lucy!
