The Sonnier's: Wow! It's been a while!

Wow! It has been a CRAZY month! I haven't had time to do much at all! Well, we thought we would be by ourselves for Thanksgiving, but it turned out that we had to make an emergency trip to Louisiana. Jeremy's cousin, Carmen, went into a coma as a result of her diabetes. She had no brain activity for around 8 hours so there was really no hope. So, we left for Louisiana on Saturday, the 21st and drove 28 hours straight! That was the longest trip ever! Hunter did great though. He watched Mickey Mouse the whole time. We left home at 1:00 pm on Saturday and got to Louisiana at 5:00pm Sunday.

We went straight to the hospital to see Carmen. Things still didn't look good. Monday, we woke up, surprised Ashlyne' at work and went back to the hospital. We went to eat lunch with Mrs. Tina and Jeremy got a call from his Nanny that Carmen had opened her eyes! Mrs. Tina was sure that there was no way because of what the doctors had told everyone. We got back to the hospital and sure enough, she had opened her eyes. Things are slowly improving and I guess it is only up from here. Miracles happen everyday I guess.

We spent the week down in Louisiana and it was crazy to try and visit everyone in such a short time. We did get to see almost everyone though and I was happy that everyone got to meet Hunter finally!

We decided to head home on Friday, the 27th and we wanted to take it slow. We stopped early and left late everyday. We got home around 4:00 Sunday and were completely exhausted! We are going to try to get some rest this weekend finally, but poor Jeremy has to work.

Well, I am so excited to finally get to put up our Christmas decorations! I have to go tomorrow to get our Christmas tree. Maybe once Hunter gets older we will get a real tree, but for now I will stick to our fake tree. Well, I guess I will get to bed. Enjoy our pictures from Louisiana...

Oh, one last update. My sister, Erica, had her baby on Wednesday, December 2nd. His name is Nicholas Bryant and he was 7lbs. 7oz. and 19 1/2 in. long. Of course she had to wait less than a week after I left to have the baby. I have posted a picture below....
