William's First Field Trip!

On Thursday William's class went on their first field trip. How appropriate it was to the fire station! Daddy was going to try to go. He was at the hospital. Mommy wanted to try and make everything as close to normal for William so she went instead! It was so much fun. William loved it!






Pops and Nana sent a cookie bouquet to Matthew for a speedy recovery. He loved it!

Matthew's croup!

Well, this week has been a very different interesting week. It all started Sunday night once we got home from church. He was not feeling good. We put him to bed went to doctor Monday morning. The doctor said it was viral sent us home. That night Mommy and Daddy did not like the way he was breathing took him to the hospital. Daddy was headed for Children's in Birmingham. He did not make it there. He had to stop in Clanton because Matthew was sounding so bad. He then got to go on an ambulance ride to Children's. Once we got there we discovered that he had the croup a few breathing treatment and a couple of nights in the hospital later we are back home and feeling better. Thanks for all the prayers and support during this difficult time. William was the best big brother ever. He colored him a picture and sent him some toys to play with at the hospital. Every night before he would go to sleep he would say the sweetest prayer for his little brother.

This picture is a little blurry. Brad took it with his phone. Here is Matthew in the ambulance on the way to the hospital.
