Week of February 28
We all stayed home from church this week. We were definitely on the mend, but didn't want to overdue.
We got out this little purse that Raya has in her hand for her to play with since she has been so sick and she has enjoyed it throughly!
A friend of mine kept telling me how wonderful her shopping experience is at Cashwise when she orders her groceries on line and then comes and picks them up.
So I gave it a shot!
It took me 2 hours to order my groceries - but it was my first time. But the rest of the process was very nice!
I drive up, run inside and they say we will bring your bags out to the car. The refrigerator stuff is in the fridge until we come and get them and freezer items in the freezer. You choose a window of when you will be by to pick them up and they will have it ready!
So there they are, the groceries for the week! I enjoy the experience and will do it again for sure!
We spent early Tuesday morning in room 606!!
Our third beautiful baby was born to us at 6:18am!
Drayden Christopher Brucks was born.
6lbs 9oz and 18.5 inches
He had a distended belly and was taken to look at right away!
At 3 hours of life, the life flight team from Sanford can and took Drayden to that hospital from Essentia!
Drayden's sweet little footprints!
The big kids for some big brother and big sister bracelets!
Here is Drayden after his 3 hour exploratory surgery! He was very pale, but his stomach looked so much better!

This big boy turned 4 this week! Plans changed a little bit, but his one request was to get a sub and fire hat from Firehouse Sub! So we did! :)

I had a special time with Ryken, building a pirate ship on Saturday!
He was looking everywhere, but the nail when hammering! It made me laugh!
He picked orange! I wasn't surprised!
He did such a good job painting!
Thankful for our time together!
He brought his own tape measure from home! The only time he used it was after it was build and painted! haha! Love my boy!
The finished product!!! He was thrilled!
He received a badge on his apron for completing the ship project!!
Flowers from a friend who brought them to the hospital when she came to visit me!
First time getting to hold Drayden!!! What a special time! It was so nice to have him in our arms!!
Nana and Papa, Chris' parents, came from Bismark for the day and they got to meet Drayden for the first time and hold him!!
My sweet friends from AZ got this beautiful blanket for me. They thought it would be great hanging in Drayden's room,- and I couldn't have agreed more!!!
Raya was the model for it until Drayden comes home!!
Another yummy meal provided for us!
The kids showing their empty bowls! They sure enjoyed the lasagna!
A sweet and thoughtful care package from my good friend!
Celebrating the ordinary moments that make life extraordinary!!
