Mom's 'helper'

 My little man is almost 1.... where does time go??

 

 

And for someone who does not particularly like or enjoy rhodos...

I found a little beauty in them!

 

 

I want to send out my thanks to my dear

cousin Treena ( Love Live With Kids )

and Aunt Carla ( Making Our Memories )

for nominating me for the

Beautiful Mama Blog Award!!

I truly feel honored to be nominated for this...

just don't feel very deserving of it because of my

lack of consistent blogging.

 

I blog mostly for the enjoyment

of family and friends (both near and far) to see

our day to day adventures

as well as to share some of the MANY pictures I take!!

Because I want to stay 'low key' in this blog world I am not going

to 'accept' the award and just continue on my little journey...

Once again, thanks for nominating me - love you both!! xo

 

Working on another post...

of a Korporaal get-together for Uncle Wim's birthday!



Last week...

was quite the week!

 

Ranen had quite a bad cold/cough which passed to Owen...

he seemed to take it pretty hard so I took him

to the walk-in clinic at our doctor's office.

Owen was busy crawling about, trying to walk from chair to chair

and I was thinking - why did I come here??  But I stayed.

Dr. Quentin Smith, so so fortunate to have him as our family doc!,

says to me "you need to take him to emerg!"

and I was like huh? he ain't that sick!!

(hospital phone shots...)

 

But yes, he has bronchiolitis (inflamed small airways in the lungs)

and if not treated it has the potential of turning into RSV.

So thankful for great knowledge and great help...

Thursday afternoon/evening turned into

chest x-rays, blood work and the nebulizer.

With a followup appointment on Friday morning,

to the pediatrician, Dr. Ebesh, we are now rigged up with a

nebulizer at home - 3x per day treatment for 10 days...

 

This is what it usually looks like:

evey treatment we have a few more moments like this....

Our little trooper!!

 

Ranen doting on her little sick brother :)

We need some food donations,

individual/business sponsorships...

etc!

 

Leave me a contact with your name if you can help us out in anyway!!

 

 

My favourite girl... :)

 Ranen and I went outside for a little 'photo shoot'

... not easy to get her to look at the camera!!!

(I wanted a little practice in harsh, bright sunlight - not easy!!!)

 

 

 

 

Love you - munchkin - even with your attitude!!!

- at least you will never be classified as a pushover! lol -

 

My diseased dogwood tree still produces something camera worthy

- it's last ditch effort to "please don't rip me out!! -

Pre-bedtime Fun!

Our excitement around here...

 

 

 if only mommy would let her sit in there all day she would be SO happy!!

 Owen - a safe distance from eye poking and tail pulling!! lol

 

 

So much fun - 10 puppies to play with!!

The kiddos LOVE it... :)

 

A week and a half and they should have there shots...

then comes puppy visits and hopefully some selling!!
