Easter Sunday

Saturday we had Marshall's brother's families over for a few little activities and dinner. Max was totally into it, and the bigger kids were great and kept hiding their eggs because they loved helping the little kids find them.

Myles was much more into the hunt when he realized that there was candy in the eggs.

Dinner with the Jones family.

I wasn't planning on having the kids decorate eggs since we had already done it, but I was surprised when the older cousins really wanted to and were sad I wasn't planning on it. So I quickly boiled some eggs and they had a good time.
Mason was so excited for the Easter Bunny that I found him asleep on his chair in his doorway when I went to bed. He was hoping to get a peak!

Max was so cute. When Mason went in to wake him up at 630 AM he said "no! I'm tired. I need to sleep more!" and rolled over and went back to sleep. He said the same thing when I tried to get him. So we let him sleep and about 30 minutes later we heard him shouting from his crib "I ready for Easter Bunny now!" When he came down he was absolutely thrilled with his bunny pez dispenser and chocolate. All morning everytime I looked at him he had his mouth full of chocolate.

Myles is the biggest candy lover in the universe. He was so thrilled about his cotton candy and peeps. I don't know how their primary teachers handled it. The YW were teaching so the adults could go to RS and after his class, the YW teaching Myles' class just let them go. When he wasn't in his classroom Marshall and I looked everywhere in the building and started to freak out. Marshall ran home and sure enough, when Myles couldn't find us at church (we weren't out of classes yet), he just walked home on his own. It would be a lot more scary if we didn't live 2 doors from the church, but still it was kind of scary! 
Sunday after church we had my sister Jessica's family over for Easter dinner and it was a lot more "low key." The only picture we took was when we were setting the table! That morning I had asked Myles why we celebrate Easter and he said "so that the Easter Bunny comes" and so after dinner we had a little lesson on Easter where they found 12 eggs with little objects and scriptures about the days leading up to the ressurection.

We're Coming Home!!!

I'm not posting "before" pictures because they are a little too scary, but this is a pretty good "after" picture if you ask me! Mason had another amazing night. Yesterday he wouldn't stand on his own (we think because of all the bruising, pulled groin muscle, swollen foot) but he slept really well all night (and kept his oxygen levels up without help) and this morning he woke up with a lot more energy. He ate 3 little boxes of fruit loops, 2 containers of milk, and is working on a muffin now. He's gone potty by himself, and walked back and forth to the playroom down the hall two or three times. He seems completely back and in the playroom used potato heads to re-enact a scene from Toy Story 2. The pediatrician just came in and told us that he feels good about going home as long as we follow-up with our pediatrician by Wednesday morning at the latest to get the stitches out, re-write prescriptions (can't fill Canadian ones in US), and decide where ...

Quick Update

First of all, thanks for all the prayers we know are received. I'm going to make this update quick and dirty since I have a hard time thinking about it and I want to get back to Mason. I also don't know if every detail is completely accurate but this is the way I understand it. Yesterday afternoon my dad and Marshall took the two boys hiking at Boundary Bay in Waterton . It is a short flat trail that you access through a boat ride and goes for a mile or so and crosses over a creek. They were hiking along and when they got close to the creek the boys stopped and Mason held my dad's hand while Myles held Marshall's. My dad and Mason were in front and to get onto the bridge (just two cut logs with a hand rail on one side) you have to step on a rock. Mason and my dad both stepped on the rock and Mason was so excited to see the water that he jumped up onto the bridge. He slipped, causing my dad to loose his balance and Mason spun around causing my dad to loose the grip on hi...

Miraculous Update July 4th 6 AM

We had an amazing night. Yesterday the doctors said they would take out the tube in the morning unless he was clearly awake and tried pulling it out (because they wanted to go home--understandably). We had two wonderful nurses who have been working with him who really believed he was ready and would be happier with it out and so they irritated him to wake him by taking out his cathetar, brushing his teeth, suctioning him over and over until he really was awake and fighting them. The doctor finally said they could take it out and after grabbing a team of about 10 and a crash cart just in case they took it out. He threw up a lot, coughed a bit, whined a little, and then fell back to sleep (perfect because all he has in him is tylenol and is probably in pain). He woke up 3 or 4 times during the night absolutely frantic kicking and crying and each time he would eventually say softly "potty, need to get out". He was wearing a diaper and we would all just have to encourage him tha...
