9/11 Thanks

As I’m sure you all have read and heard, today marks the 8th anniversary of 9-11. Collin and Mama wanted to take a moment of our day to thank all of the troops that protect us each and every day! We would especially like to thank the members of our family who have served and are serving!!! Daddy, you are our hero! You’ve been the rock for our family; you’ve kept this family together when many families in our situation have not made it. You are strong, kind, caring, and perfect! Thank you for protecting us when you’re at home and when you’re at work. We love you! Also, thank you to Grandpa (whom is retired), Papa (whom served 10years), Uncle Ryan (whom is serving in the Air National Guard), Uncle Dan (whom is serving in the Army National Guard), and all of our extended family members and friends that are or have served our wonderful country! Thank you, we owe you our freedom! Please don't forget to pray for your troops!

After a great vacation, saying goodbye is always the worst!!!!

We had such an amazing week in Minnesota this summer! Ryan and Abby’s wedding was a fairytale! We are so proud of them! Collin’s had a great summer, has been very health! He’s up to 86mls an hour on his tube feeds, has a 6hour window with no tubes, and is on tube feeds for 14hours and fluids 4hours a day. He has no line and has been tolerating three tablespoons of baby cereal added to his tube feeds two times a day. We are doing the cereal with the hopes to thicken stools as well as added calories. So far he’s tolerating these changes. Collin’s got a little cold now so please pray for him…don’t want it turning into anything crazy!! Love you all
