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 :)
 
Puppy time...
One is off to his new home... 9 more to go!
 
 Daddy has been crazy busy! first cut, grass planting, spreading manure,
cleaning chicken barns, plowing, etc etc
 
Our house is ready to tenants to move in!!  Yay!!

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...

Enjoying the small things...

it seems like I apologize every post
for taking so long to do a new posting!!
 
As things settle down here I hope to work on that!
(but I dont stress it as too important so who knows,
maybe next time it will include a slight apology again!!)
 
But I know how much the out-of-town family
(and the in-town family :)
enjoys a little update!!
 
It has been 3 weeks without Printed Matter
and I am truly enjoying being
a full-time wife/mother!!
 
Love it...
especially the bike rides, puzzle making,
playroom creating, airplane rides,
house cleaning, window washing,
laundry,
yes, I love it all!! 
 
(lots of pictures of the kids... but, oh to say
that I am enjoying my time with them is such an understatement!!)
 
How much love can a heart hold??
 
 
I am so blessed to be your Mommy!
 
My darling girl:
besides all things farm, animals and tractors -
give her books and puzzles and she is set!!
Walked into her bedroom to this:

Just need to find a way to turn left into right...:)
(preferrably without being the bad, mean person!!)
 
And one morning we puzzled, and puzzled, and did a few more!
(better put - Ranen puzzled and I had to watch!!)


 
I'm done!! 
 
Done that set of 4 so now on to the next! 

 Yes, she does this on her own...
that is a 48 piece one - love the Melissa and Doug ones - made out of wood!!
 
So Ranen!!

Gotta show Daddy!! (driving by in tractor...)
 
My other little ham!!
(couldn't pick which one to put up so you get a few!)


 
Waving bye... its his thing!!
 
Last time that Opa and Oma helped with printing...
a few keepsake pics :)

 
Just heard,
Mom is home from the hospital...
surgery on her right arm - clear break of the radius bone!
Plate and possible pins...
Wish you speedy healing and lots of loving in these next few weeks Mom!
So thankful surgery is done and all went well - love you!
 
Now to figure out how to get the pics off my phone -
saying device isn't recognized!!
Those pics coming soon!
 
Good night :)
