We are home from Rockwall. This past week has been such a blur for all of us. We are still shocked and can't believe the horror of losing someone you love that was so young.
In case some of you reading this have not heard we left last Wednesday morning after a phone call from one of Jad's sisters telling us to come to Rockwall immediately his youngest sister was in ICU at the hospital and not doing well at all. We didn't know what to think or even what we were walking into at that hospital. When we arrived we heard the reality that there was no hope and they had kept her on life support so the family could say goodbye to her.
We still don't know what happened. She was not feeling well and had a bad headache Tuesday night. (She had a history of Ulcerative Colitis but it was manageable.) Jad's mom took her to the ER that night around 11pm. They couldn't find anything going on with her so they released her at 3am. She was very weak and Jad's mom told them not to release her. They decided to keep her and run some more tests. According to Jad's mom around 5am everything starting happening. She went into a crisis and they had to resuscitate her twice. Once she was stable enough they took her to surgery where they found her colon inflamed and decided to remove it. They looked at her gallbladder and it was fine so they looked at her liver. The doctor said her liver was black and hard as a rock. At that point they knew there was nothing more they could do. Her body was shutting down. They kept her on life support until around 3pm the next day to give everyone in the family time to come say goodbye. She was laid to rest yesterday, March 31, next to her Daddy.
I want to thank everyone for their prayers this past week. We have felt them tremendously. God has provided for Jad's family in so many ways this past week. We are so thankful we can rejoice that Kristen is in Heaven right now with her Savior. We will see her again one day, praise God!

Spring Break Camping!

We had a great time camping at Bastrop State Park for two nights during Spring Break and on Jad's birthday! The boys absolutely loved being outside 24hrs a day! We went on a few hikes and fished several times. We only caught 2 small bass but the we all enjoyed it anyway. In one photo the boys are looking at a small lizard Jad caught and put in their bug catcher. Thursday the 13th was Jad's birthday so we celebrated with a cookie cake. Now back to real life, but it was fun "getting away" from it for a while!

Happy 4th Birthday Luke!

Wow, it's hard to believe Luke's 4 years old today. He was born at 1:18pm and weighed 5lbs 2oz. We are so thankful for the healthy, smart, boisterous, talkative, silly, beautiful boy he is. He brightens every day and makes you laugh out loud! We love you Luke so much!

Here are some pics of the last few days. We took Luke out for a fun night with just mom & dad to Zilker, out to eat then to Toy's R Us on Thursday night. Then we had a quiet birthday party with just us and Nanna & Poppa yesterday. He had a great time and loved Aunt Sarah's bath time "mud soap" then crashed! Happy Birthday Luke!

Take two...

Take two... I'm not sure why they didn't work the first time. Now I can only get this one to work so here it is:

They grow up so fast

Here are some fun old videos of the boys!

Playing at the Park

Oh, brotherly love...
On an outing to the park with Sampson in tow I thought we could get one picture of the boys together. This is sadly the best one I got. They were being silly and Luke really didn't want to be kissed as you can tell!

LIttle Monkey

Our "monkey" hiding in the box!

My friend Misty gave Luke this box because he
was always getting into it at her house and hiding
from everybody. He fits perfectly and still loves
to do it at home now. Cole had to join in but couldn't
quite fit!
