Things have been crazy busy around here so I will try to recap as much as possible. First, we had the privilege of watching our oldest daughter preform in her very first orchestra concert. I am so proud of her, she amazes me everyday with how much she is growing and changing right before my very eyes.

I also finally finished these beauties....

now that's a full mantle.

We were also able to finally bring home the youngest Costner, Myles

that's him, strapped in and ready to go home for the first time.

It has been quite an adjustment, having him home, one that we have been grateful to make. He has been a great baby, sleeping,eating, waking right on schedule. As long as we have his bottle ready every 3 hours he is a happy camper, take a little too long and he lets you know quickly that he will not tolerate that kind of behavior. Lucas has been very interested in him, though, I think he sees him more as a wrestling partner than anything so we are keeping a close eye on him.

Here is Marcus before his surgery on Tuesday, looking like a sweet little elf in his Santa hat. He went in at 7am for a repeat of the eye surgery and his G-tube placement, by 11am they were done and we walked him back to his bed space. Both of the surgeries went well, he is still intubated as of now, they did remove the breathing tube on Thursday morning, however he didn't tolerate it very well, so he was reintubated. We are going to try again Sunday.

Here is our little elf after surgery.

If you have made it this far I just want to say Merry Christmas from our family to yours.
