This little man was incredibly sick. It made for a rough week, but thanks to medicine, antibiotics, and a humidifier, he's now feeling much better and back on his path of destruction. It was our first time having a sick baby. (Pres was extremely healthy) So the flustered mama that I was, grabbed her sick baby and cuddled on the couch for hours while watching Once Upon a Time.
But our happy baby has returned. Hallelujah.
But our happy baby has returned. Hallelujah.

Shark attack!
On Monday, my parents received a phone call from Brazil. My little brother Rhett is serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, in Porto Alegre. Due to an issue with his achilles tendon, he is coming home a month early. The poor kid has been struggling with it for awhile now.
So, on April 12th, Elder Siddoway comes home after serving for two very long years!!! It's weird to think the last time we saw him this picture was taken.
A lot has changed.
Rhett lost a niece,
but gained Kyla and Ledger,
with another on the way
(Dustin and Alisha are due in May)
We're excited for Ledger to officially meet Uncle Rhett.
My guess is he'll love his uncle as much as his older sister did.
She adored him.
April 12th can't come fast enough!
Well sad that he is having problems, but that is cool that he gets to come home soon! I love it when Missionaries come home! They have such a special spirit they bring with them!
ReplyDeleteI am glad Ledger is better! Poor thing! I hate it when babies are sick...
Much love!
You must be so proud of him for serving a mission! What an accomplishment, especially with a health problem! Please do a post about how/when you told him about losing Preslee, were you able to talk to him?, how he dealt with it, etc. I have always wondered how missionaries deal with unexpected loss while they are so far away from family. Heartbreaking ;(
ReplyDeletehaha i bet your parents loved that month early! Tys cousin is out a month longer.. b/c of how transfers landed
ReplyDeleteLOVE Once Upon a time!
ReplyDeleteSorry your little "Shark" is better. Sick babies are awful.
ReplyDeleteThat picture of your brother with Pres made me burst into tears.
ReplyDeleteBeing away can make things very surreal. Time can stand still and you don't totally realize what happened. It might be hard for him when he comes home. It might hit him hard. I hope you'll all be okay.
I'm sure he'll be so happy to be back!
I bet you are so excited he is coming home!! That is very exciting and Ledger is so cute!! He is getting so big I love that he gets into everything! It's a very busy but fun age :) I'm thinking of you guys often
ReplyDeleteThe tears just keep flowing as I read this! I am so excited for your family to have your brother home again! Crazy to think how things have changed.. I hope all is well with his injury. Ps- Glad ledger is happy again! :)
