The Boys + Thanksgiving

It can’t possibly almost be February!!  Seems insane that I’m putting up pictures from almost five months ago!  Oh well, these are still worthwhile memories for keeps…

First, our dear friend, who happens to be the most talented photographer, captured the boys in the most perfect way.  They are loud and crazy and so rowdy, and so SO loud (worth repeating :)) but they’re also full of love and fun.  We wanted this season of our lives to be bottled up, and Jen did such a beautiful job giving us forever memories.  We love these two so much!

We thought it would be fun getting a few pics of the boys in their Halloween costumes.  Jen, made the idea awesome with finding us a real Falkor :).

We were blessed to have Grandma and Grandpa Olimb, Grandma Joy Joy, and Auntie Dana in town for Thanksgiving!  It was so special having everyone here to spend the day together, and celebrate the many blessings that God showers us with.

It was a Happy Thanksgiving!

I thought we were bringing Beck to his first movie, but Grandma Necas said they brought Beck over the Summer.  So I guess this was OUR first time bringing Beck to the movies, ha!  He did awesome, and loved it so much he fell asleep :).

Beck started working on swallowing his pills before Christmas!  We put applesauce on a spoon, and put the full cap on top (we usually have to break open the caps and dump them into the applesauce).  He did it for the first time on our little lunch date at the mall :).  All big boys who start swallowing pills get to celebrate with a train ride :).

Meals can be challenging with the boys.  Their bodies need 120-200% more calories than someone their same size without CF.  The problem is that they’re wiggly, and they already sit so much for treatments.  But, the burden is still there, and it’s so important for their lung function that they eat like mad men.  There is usually a lot of bribing and deal making going on.  But, there are times sprinkled throughout when it’s a bit magical.  They sit, they’re quiet, they eat.  This was one of those times, and totally deserved a picture :).

We’re missing some of our people, but still a memory for keeps!

Scootin’ with Grandma Joy Joy!  They have a weekly scootin’ date together :).

Mr. Jim and Miss Lorraine brought Asher to the circus!  This video so perfectly exemplifies the joy that he had in going to the show!  He felt so special, and still talks about the circus, how funny it was, how everything there cost five dollars, and how he got the best face painting ever!  He really did.  This is the best face painting I’ve ever seen!

His laugh makes me so happy!

Outdoor dinners and bonfires are the best!
