Back to Life.

Life is finally getting back to normal around here!  I think we were all going stir crazy cooped up in this house!

The kids had check ups at the pedi on Friday; Landry was much better and only needs breathing treatments every once in a while. Ansley still had wheezing and the rsv went into an ear infection, so the poor baby got a shot (which I made 100% sure she got what she was supposed to!).  She also still has to have breathing treatments for another week.  But as long as everyone is finally on the mend, I'm pretty much willing to do anything! Anywho.  She said that as of Monday (yesterday) that we could do anything.  So Landry got to go back to "school" today and I went back to work this week as well.

Now to some fun randomness!

Ansley has a love relationship with her hands.  Landry never really was that interested in his, so I find it funny that she is!  She shows no interest in her thumb (thank goodness), but usually just licks the palm of her hand.  Weird, I know.  My favorite thing though is when the "claw" comes out and gets her.  I've got to get it on video.  She'll put her hand in front of her face and stare at it for awhile then slowly the hand comes toward her face.  All of a sudden, the claw grabs onto her nose and under her eyes.  Sometimes she'll fuss at it and other times kind of talk to it.  I find it hilarious.  But then again, when it comes to my kids, it doesn't take much to entertain me.

For some reason, she was chewing on her fingers here.

Every once in a while if I have my camera out lately, Landry will fuss and stand in front of me until I take his picture.  Very seldom will he smile though! That's okay though, if he'll stand still long enough, that's all I ask for!

He wanted a picture next to sister while I was cleaning the kitchen.

A HUGE shoutout to my Aunt Diane for making Ansley some super cute outfits!

We loved getting to see you for a little bit!

This seriously might be one of my very favorite outfits ever.  It is seriously so.so.so.cute! And she rocked her pink boots too!

So, as usual, my good intentions were an epic FAIL.

I am desperate for a cute picture of the kids together.  Desperate.

Keevan and Kaleb are at the age where they can listen...my kids? Not so much.

*note- I didn't even waste time trying to edit these to look good, I figured, why bother.*

Case 1: Ansley's okay in this one except she looks albino for some reason.  Landry? Well, see for yourself.

Case 2: Ansley's looking at some unforseen object in the other room and I think Landry is trying to hide behind Kaleb's hand.

Case 3: Enough said

Case 4:  Ansley is still focused on the formerly mentioned unseen and Landry is in party mode.

Case 5: Landry is trying to hang himself

Case 6:  Landry does not want to even sit and we've lost Ansley's bow.

Case 7:  Disaster

Case 8: Kaleb looks cute!

Case 9:  At least Landry wanted to be the main subject!

Case 10: This is the best it got

Needless to say, I chose the best 10 to show you.  Does that tell you how horrible the rest were?!

Ansley wore another of her outfits from Diane today!  Mom & Dad got her this new bow to wear with all her Christmas outfits! Dad said she looked like a Christmas Clown.  I thought she was adorable!  It's a top & pants and the pants are even super cute with the Christmas shirts my mom has made for her! WooHoo!!

He almost smiled!

Does it get any cuter?!

Sorry for all the random pics!  I hope everyone is looking forward to Christmas!! It's not very far away!!

Motor Mouth

Since my post earlier was so stinkin' gloomy, I thought i'd share this sweet video of Ansley talking the other night!

Enjoy!

RSV

Life around our house sucks.  Both the kids have RSV and i've got some sort of all over head junk.

We took the kids into the on call doctor on Saturday and Landry left being diagnosed with bronchitis and the makings of an ear infection. Ansley had red ears but her chest sounded fine.  By Monday morning Ansley was wheezing like Landry and both were coughing something fierce.  Our pedi tested Ansley for RSV which came back positive.  She said she wasn't even gonna waste our time testing Landry, cause if Ansley had it, so did he.

Both were put on breathing treatments every 4 hours and Landry was to continue his antibiotic for the ear infection.  She warned me that Ansley was going to get worse before she got better and indeed she did.  We ended up taking her back yesterday and got her put on steroids.  She said she was worse but not bad enough for the hospital (thank goodness). 

So, all day yesterday all she could have to eat was pedialyte.  She HATED the flavored kind, but liked the non-flavored one.

Here's Landry "sleeping."  Notice his cot? Monday night, mom stayed with me since Chris was at work.  It was a pure 100% disaster.  Landry refused to go to sleep.  We tried mom on the couch & Landry on the cot.  Me on the couch - Landry on cot.  Mom in his bed, me in his bed.  Finally he went to sleep in my bed.  Mom slept on the couch (for maybe a total of 10 minutes) and Ansley slept in her swing.  And when I say slept, I mean in 5 minute increments.  It was horrible.

Landry takes his spells on feeling okay and feeling horrible.

Uh oh, he woke up!!

Harli didn't want her picture taken.

But this fella did!

Sweet girl is still smiling and talking.  Although she did lose her voice.  It seriously breaks my heart.

One of MANY breathing treatments

Ansley getting her first breathing treatment

Yet another one.

I guess on the plus side, Landry's had lots and lots of popsicles!

I certainly hope everyone else is feeling better than we are! 

Just please keep the babies in your prayers that they start feeling better soon!
