Oliver and Danica

It has been very nice out lately. So our time is mostly spent playing outside. Everyone is doing well. Oliver is very independent now. Everything is to be done by himself mostly. It makes me sad to see him growing up fast. He seems really big, compared to Danica who is this tiny thing. Danica is talking a little bit more. She says "all done, mommy, please, kity, no, Dada". Today she said O for Oliver. It was cute. They are playing better together. We are enjoying being a family. It is so fun having these kids around, they just make our day, everyday. This was last week when I was 10 wks.

Oliver loves to water the grass and the dirt in my empty garden.









This was last night. Dan dug a big hole to get to the septic tank to get pumped. The kids had a blast playing in all the dirt. This was Danica just having a ball.

Sick Days

watching a movie together so that mom could clean up the kitchen w/out holding a baby at the same time.

Danica looking so pitiful.


We have a house full of sick bodies, and the two small ones are the worst. In the last post I said how Oliver was sick and we took him to an after hours clinic on Saturday. He got on an antibiotic, and finally today I am noticing some improvement. Although he still has an awful cough. Well on Monday Danica started to get a fever and a cough. She only coughed a few times so I didn't worry to much about it. Then yesterday she was sick sick. Her and Oliver just wanted to be held, so I spent most of my day with them both in my lap. Last night she went to bed at 6:00. And I checked on her a couple of times, and around 10:00 Dan and I were getting ready for bed. I did my rounds checking the kids. To my surprise Danica was wheezing terribly,and extremely hot. So I took her into the bathroom and we sat in steam for a little while and then back to bed. I called my sister in law who is a nurse to see if there was anything I should do. Just the usual humidifier, steam, and then take her in to the doctor in the morning. Dan moved a mattress into the room and I slept in there. She woke up a couple of times, but of coarse I woke up all night. I was very paranoid because the was she sounded. In the morning I called the doctor and took her in at 11:00. Diagnosis is bronchitis! Yuk not what we wanted to hear. So she is on two antibiotics and breathing treatments 4x daily. We are praying hard that Oliver and her get better really fast. Here are some pictures from today.
