2011 on Scrumpy Daddy

It's been a while . . . and Matt's back in the ICU . . .

It's been a while since I posted last. Matt was at home and doing very well for two weeks. (After we got home from the hospital trip referenced in my last post.) He was breathing fine, eating great, and just being a pretty easy-going baby. (Unless he was mad about being hungry; then he was prone to occasionally holding his breath . . . but it wasn't too bad.)

We had a great Thanksgiving and had family over to our house on Friday after Turkey Day, which was awesome, as well. We got to visit with my brother & SIL, and the kids got to play with their cousins all day. We all had a wonderful time! Matt seemed to keep clogging up his nose that day, though; we had to keep working on him to keep him breathing OK. At Matt's midnight feeding, he was having some breathing issues and due to that, wouldn't eat much. It was bad enough that we thought we should take him into the hospital, so I got ready to go, packed him up, and headed to Children's. We checked in at 1:52AM on Saturday, November 26th. :-)

The next few posts will be mostly pictures of things we've been doing lately. Every day, I have high hopes of writing novellas on our recent adventures with the kids, but never manage to accomplish much, so I'll just stick to images for a bit. At least I can offer a glimpse of what the kids have been doing and how they are growing. :-)

In February, we went to the museum with Grammy & Aunt Becky.
