a scare and a thrill...

most of you already know about our scare with hudson this past weekend but for those who don't...saturday morning, hudson passed out and had a small seizure. we called 911 and they came and took us to the ER. they did some tests that all came out normal and then admitted us so that hudson could be hooked up to a heart monitor for a few hours. we waited until the evening for him to be seen by the pediatric neurologist. he said that even he does not know "why" this happened but it is likely that it will never happen again. comforting...sort of! hudson was great through all of this and very cooperative with all the doctors and nurses. thank you to all of our family and friends who have been praying for us. we REALLY appreciate it! God has truly shown us how amazing He is...and for a mom who is always concerned about the health of her boys, He has reminded me that He is in control and i need to continue to put my trust in Him. :)

on a completely different note...andrew and i went to the mccain and palin rally that was in green yesterday. because andrew is green staff, we were able to park right at the stadium and also go straight to the front of the line!! that is something that we may never have the opportunity to do again so it was very exciting to be a part of.

quick update

we've been keeping pretty busy around here so i wanted to get some new pictures out. we went to the open house at the fire station last week and hudson saw all the fire trucks and ambulances. he was able to get up in them and check everything out. this year he was more interested in the ambulances than anything else...i think it's because he knows that uncle nick now drives an ambulance and he thinks that is SO cool!! every time we see an ambulance he says "uncle nick!". greyson got in on the action too and drove the fire truck for a little bit.
we also went to chuck e cheese's a few days ago...CRAZY!! talk about over stimulation...but of course, hudson loved it! he was a little nervous at first about climbing up into the tubes but once he was up there he didn't want to come down. he had a great time playing all the games and wants to go back really soon.

fall fun!

today we went to may's farm for some fall fun! we went on a hayride and hudson was able to pick his own pumpkin. he loved feeding the animals and playing in the corn bin with his cousins. greyson loved the hayride too...even though he slept in aunt kim's arms the entire time!

greyson is 6 months old now! he seems to be doing new things everyday. he sits up on his own and loves it. if he's not eating or sleeping, he loves to just sit with toys all around him. hudson helps him with that...bringing him almost every toy he has. greyson is eating all sorts of food now but especially loves bananas, and thinks he can hold them himself. it works at first, but then gets a little slippery! he weighs 19 lbs now...proving that he loves his food!! his cutest new thing is how he will start laughing at anything. he'll grab his foot and just start cracking up! you can't help but be happy when you're with him! :)

hudson will be 2 1/2 this month. he's started going to a church program on sunday nights called puggles. he loves to go to "class"...as he calls it. he's learning about all the things that God created. if you ask him who created the sky or clouds or trees...his answer every time is "bible"!! between sunday school and puggles, all week he asks for "more class" and "more bible". it's so cute to see him learning and understanding new things.
