Home Ashley Her Family Ledger Shark Attack

Shark Attack

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.

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!

    I 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 ;(

    That picture of your brother with Pres made me burst into tears.

    Being 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!

Hi, we're the Sullengers! Life turned upside down for us in 2010 when we lost our daughter in an accidental drowning. Since then, we've documented our highs (life with all five of our kids) and our lows (struggles with grief) but amongst everthing we've experienced, we know as long as we hold on to one another we can get through anything that comes our way.
