My little firemen!

One night in December we were headed out to have dinner as a family and we saw a fire truck out in front of a restaurant all decked out in christmas lights. They were allowing kids to climb in and look around. We stopped to let the boys take a look. Kyson absolutely loved it and Caleb loved it from a distance...he did not want to get inside! Anyway, that night the firemen gave our boys these fire chief hats.



As we stood there talking to the firemen that were there I was reminded of that first crazy, awful day with Kyson. It was May 15th 2008, and it was Kyson's 2 month pediatrician well visit. When we got in to see Kyson's doc we soon found out that Kyson was NOT ok. His oxygen saturations were 46%. We had no clue what was wrong but knew we had to get to a hospital fast! Dr. Auxier ran to call 911 and soon firemen were filing into the room and soon thereafter an ambulance arrived. I had Caleb with me so I called Jared to ask him to come get him. The doctor was very worried about Kyson and said I had no choice but to go to the hospital right then and leave Caleb behind. That was when I lost it! Gratefully someone led me to the ambulance and two firemen promised me to take care of Caleb until Jared could get there. Later Jared told me that when he arrived one of the firemen was in the office playing with all the toys with him and he was happy as he could be. That really surprised me because he was usually terrified of strangers at that age. I will always be grateful for those firemen who took care of my son when I couldn't.

And just for fun here's a couple more of my sweet, sweet boys.
