Over a year?!?!?!

It's been over a year since I've last blogged...but I won't focus on the negatives. I'll focus on the positives. I'll try to sum up the past year real quick. It was FANTASTIC!!! Seriously, Jacey was here at NW for school and so we got to see him play football and basketball and more enjoyable just see him at the house interacting with the kids. We've done a lot of work to the house. The most exciting is putting a fence around the back yard and placing a playset back there for the kids. They love showing it off. Speaking of kids, we've enjoyed watching Brielle and Judson get bigger and play together...well Bri mostly bosses him around but they love each other. Early morning on February 5th we welcomed into our lives Cooper James Hoegh. We were able make it to Sioux Falls before he showed himself. Aubyn was amazing during labor and continues to be wonderful with the kids now. Managing a 3 year old, 2 year old and a newborn that doesn't sleep is no easy task. Cooper is such a blessing from God to us. What an amazing miracle he is. We really enjoy watching the three kids interact now as Cooper is sitting up watching the other two. We think one of these days he'll just take off and run with them. Judson is talking more and more. He's a little hard to understand so if we don't get what he's saying he gets frustrated. That's when Bri steps in and says "Judsy says I can have his toy". She's quite the older sister. Both Bri and Juds love to go to the farm and see the tractors and cows. Feeding the cattle with prapa is a must. Cooper just now has slept through the night 6 nights in a row! Even with less than adequate sleep for the last 6 months, we are filled with joy thinking about our lives with our kids.
