It started off with a boy and a girl. When they first started hanging out, the girl got butterflies in her stomach. They dated, they got engaged, and they got married. There have been happy times and sad times, but the girl still gets butterflies. Now they have added to their family. They have their angels Brady and Henry watching over them, and their fur-babies Sebastian, Murphy and Charlie to keep things interesting. Enjoy these pictures, as a peek into the daily life of our family.

Spoiled rotten

Our dog is most definitely spoiled rotten. Today we went to the store to get lunch, and brought home a rawhide treat. Then he got some bites of turkey, along with a special dog bakery treat. By the end of the day, Sebastian was fat and sassy (and pooped!)

Happy puppy

Sebastian is definitely happy to be back home with mom and dad. He can sense that something isn't quite right, and takes every opportunity to snuggle up with one or both of us. We are so glad we have a fur buddy to love.

Support

The support we have received since Henry's diagnosis has been amazing! Yesterday I got a message from one of the teachers at school: "The 6th graders have your back!! #HopeforHenry
We hope Henry's having a good day!" along with this picture.

Progress

It may be two steps forward, one step back, but we are making progress! There's still a lot of fluid to go, but Henry is finally starting to look more like Henry again. Love this little guy...so proud of his fighting spirit!

A little unicorn

One of Henry's lines went bad today, so they had to start a new one. Unfortunately, the only spot that they could get one started was on his head, so know he looks like a unicorn. He's the cutest unicorn I know!

Bear Hugger

Henry's temperature has been a little low this afternoon, so he's under a "bear hugger" to keep him warm. Although it could be a sign of infection, a low temperature could also be due to being often uncovered and the room temperature. I kind of wish they made a bear hugger in my size...

Progress

Henry got his first round of dialysis today. He's still got a long way to go, but he was able to start getting rid of the extra fluid that has been clogging his body. He's a fighter!

Something missing...

I went home to shower today, and the house was too quiet. No puppy, no baby... It's times like this when reality sets in. I sat in Henry's room, and hoped for the day when I can hold my baby, change his diaper, rock him to sleep, and lay him down in his crib. I have faith that the day will come...but it's all the days in between that are so scary. (Sorry for the gloomy post!)

The fur baby

Sebastian has been wondering what's up and why no one is home to play with him! Thankfully Uncle Will and Aunt Catherine stepped up and took him to their house for the time being. He has two friends to play with, and is seen here "patiently" waiting to partake in treat time. He hasn't quite figured out the doggy door yet, and may have made a mess or two today. But he'll get settled and probably have so much fun he won't want to come home! ;-)

Poor little man

Henry's still hanging in there. And so are Mom and Dad! Still hoping Henry will feel better soon...it's so hard to see him sick, and not be able to do anything for him except snuggle.

Still sick again...

Henry's still sick/sick again...it's hard to tell at this point! He slept a lot today, so hopefully that'll help him fight this off!

It's rough being a baby...

This was Henry at the end of all the wedding festivities last weekend. He amazed everyone with how well he did!

Fur baby

We can't forget that our fur baby loves snuggling too...even if it's into a blanket. Love him!

Poor puppy...

Sebastian's had a rough weekend, with all the people in and out, and some extra time on his own. This was his face last night when Henry and I got home...and tonight he's planted himself on my lap. I love that both of my boys like to snuggle :)

Ring Bearer

Henry was the ring bearer in his Uncle Will and now Aunt Catherine's wedding today. He stole the show, and then slept through the ceremony! He didn't make it through the whole reception, but he sure did his best. Thanks to Grandma Fern for the adorable outfit and the ring pillow (made from scratch with no pattern.)
