I posted on my facebook page a few days ago a video of Logan walking YES I said walking, which he is doing 80% of the time now without the use of his walker. He is doing so good, I am just amazed. What a blessing I never thought this day would come. Of course he falls down but gets right back up again and continues to walk. He proved his Doctors wrong :)

His speech is really coming along great he is saying more words every day. As I sit back and reflect on the past and think about what he has been through and what it took to get were we are just amazes me. I thank God every day for the miracle he has given us. His personalty just shines he is always laughing and smiling all the time.. OK I am done bragging about my awesome son :) Also Logan has developed a love of books he loves to be read to, I will sit him in my lap and read several books to him through out the day, He loves it.

Everyone else is doing great. Richard is all better. His reflux has been acting up so he went and had an Upper GI he follows up with his Doctor in two weeks for the results.

Alicia is doing really good in School her grades are improving and her reading is great. She still struggles in Math but we are working on that. And her attitude, she is a real spit fire when she wants to be. She has a tendency to talk back way to much lately.

Elizabeth is doing good she is also struggling in Math, but her reading and comprehension is doing much better.

These past few days every time she goes to scratch herself she develops a rash on her body so I have been giving her Benadryl and that seems to be helping. I have not changed anything in her diet or soap or anything so I have no idea what she is allergic to all of a sudden. She has a Doctors appt with her Allergist next Monday I am hoping they will do a skin test since her last one was almost a year ago.

I am doing good, I have felt stressed out lately because of the kids fighting and arguing so much. They come home from School and it all starts. Elizabeth's Teacher has decided to give everyone in the classroom more homework for some odd reason. So trying to help each one with there homework and Logan trying to get into everything, and trying to cook dinner at the same time has become a challenge for me lately, I have felt very overwhelmed so I am trying to relax and not yell at the kids so much, which can be really hard.

I better get going Logan fell asleep in his feeding chair and it is almost time to tuck everyone into there beds and for me to relax and breathe. Thanks for checking in on our family.

Monday I took Richard to the Doctor because he had to give blood for part of his Physical well since he was there He asked the Doctor to look at him because he had a cold and was no feeling well. He took some X-Rays and discovered he has another Sinus Infection and an Pneumonia in his right lung, he gave him another stronger prescription and told him to take Mucinex DM. He will go back in 2 weeks to get more X-Rays just to make sure everything is ok.

Logan is back to his old self, laughing at anything you tell him. It is the cutest thing these past few nights he has been laughing at nothing his personalty is really coming out. He is a ball of laughs. The girls are doing great Elizabeth still has the sniffles but her Asthma is so much better.

I am doing just fine, knock on wood I am still healthy. Trying to sanitize our home so we all don't get sick again.

What a week this has been, I am just glad it is all over. Tuesday I took Logan to the Doctor, Wednesday I took Elizabeth to the Doctor and Thursday I took Logan back to the Doctor.
Logan stayed home from School all week, Elizabeth stayed home from School Thursday and Friday.

Elizabeth had a very bad cold along with her Asthma acting up, with a ton of meds she has been taking she is feeling so much better and will be able to return to School on Monday.

Alicia has had the sniffles all week, and a slight fever Thursday night when I told her she will probably have to stay home from School on Friday she started to cry she really wanted to go to School. So I told her if there is no fever in the morning she can go to school, well she woke up and the fever was gone so I let her go to School. I have been giving her Claritin and that seems to be helping and she is starting to feel better also.

Now on to Logan, I was so scared all week that he would end up in the hospital. I was giving him Pedialyte for 3 1/2 days straight and his Urine output was not that good. After each feed he would just have diarrhea and was very week. I was holding him all the time (this is the only part I loved) I took him back to the Doctor Thursday and they told me there was nothing they could do for him as long as he's having one wet diaper a day he will get over it soon. Well that was not good enough for me. So they gave me some containers so I could collect stool samples and return to Lab corp. Wouldn't you know we get home Thursday night from the Doctor and he never had diarrhea again. Friday he gets up and is doing so much better he starts to get color back in his face, he's talking more and doing more. So I slowly start to add formula back into his feed on Friday and today he is peeing up a storm I am changing his diaper ever hour. Right now we are half formula and half Pedialtye by Sunday he will be able to take in all formula. I am just so thankful he is doing so much better. I was really scared, of course I always am when it comes to him because of his heart. He will be able to return to School on Monday.

Today we have all just been hanging out at home, Richard is working and will be home in the morning. I am doing great, knock on wood....

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow.....

Silly Face

Sneaking chips and Dip

I cannot believe 2011 is already upon us. The kids and I had a nice New Year's spent it with my parents then we came home and shared it with friends.

Monday the kids went back to school, but I was not so sure that was going to happen because it started to snow at 7am it only snowed for 2 hours t then started to melt later on in the day. We got about an inch, it was very pretty to see.

After I took the kids to School I get a phone call 45 min later saying that Logan has liquid Diarrhea and to come and get him. Later on in the day he started to throw up and have more Diarrhea. Tuesday morning he wakes up and throws up again, at this point I started giving him only Pedialtye. I called the Doctor and was able to get him in today and they said he has Rotavirus, There is nothing they can do for him just keep on doing what I'm doing. Well this happened last month the same thing I cannot believe he is sick again. No fever though.

I think the formula is out of his system and the pedialyte is working because the last 2 diaper changes have been no diarrhea, But no peeing either so now I am really worried has he ever been peeing before, I could not even tell so I will give it to the morning and if nothing I will take him back to the Doc.

Happy New Year!!!!

Logan loved opening all his presents.

Alicia's Monster High Doll

All the kids got Bean bags from Nana & Papa

Logan's first Spiked Hair cut, he would not cooperate when

it came to taking a picture.



I cannot believe it's already New Years Eve this entire year has gone by so fast.

I have finally got around to posting Christmas Pictures, we all have been super busy around here. Monday I took the girls to the Dentist for a check up and teeth cleaning I can report it was a good visit no cavities and the funny thing is the Doctor said the girls have the exact same X-Ray she thought it was the funniest thing. The rest of the week was spent running around and having neighborhood kids over.

Christmas Eve my parents came over it was very low key we had deli sandwich's and pasta it was all very good. We let the kids open one present both the girls got a pillow pet which they loved and so did Logan he jumped on it and started to love on it as soon as it was opened then when Alicia took it away from him he got very mad and started to scream, So you know me, I had to run out before the store closed and bought him one. I went to Walgreen's around the corner from us and they had one left it was the Green Frog. When I brought it home his face just lit up he was so excited over his pillow pet. He loves this thing...

Christmas Day we opened up presents and the girls got everything they wanted from Santa and us and family members. We then headed over to my parents house and opened up presents over there. We had a delicious Turkey Dinner and all the fixen's, Thanks Mom it was awesome.

Everyone is doing great and healthy well almost. Richard went to the Doctor to get a prescription refilled and found out he had a Sinus Infection and had no idea. He has been having head aches off and on and told the Doctor this so he decided to do an X-Ray of his face and that's when they found out he had an Infection he also found out he has no sinus cavity above his left eye, He was never born with one. So they gave him a prescription for Amoxicillin fro 10 days. He is feeling a lot better now.

Unfortunately Richard is working and will be home Saturday morning so we will not be spending New Year's Eve together he works it every year.

My Parents invited the kids and I over for Dinner so we will be going over there house later on today. Then when we come home my next door neighbor is having a get together so we will head on over there after I put Logan to bed. I love that there right next door and Logan's Monitor works great I can hear everything. We will all be out front in the driveway with a fire pit and hopefully heaters it is going to be so cold tonight a high of 25 degrees, right now it is 34 degrees and windy so that makes it even colder. (I know you East Coasters think I am a wimp.) We got some snow flurries here yesterday nothing stuck to the ground but it was very pretty to see.

I hope everyone enjoys there night tonight. Have fun and be safe.

OK It has been raining non stop since Friday I wish it would stop so I can go get a few more items for the girls and go get Christmas Eve Dinner. We are having my parents over and we will be having sandwich's on rolls nothing fancy, just don't want to cook. Christmas Day we are going over to my Parents house to have Turkey and all the fixen's and I will be making my fabulous Banana Sour Cream Cake which is the bomb.

The kids started there two week Christmas Break Saturday, they are so excited to have no homework and be able to play with there friends. Logan is Logan getting into everything, he is doing very well considering. I was able to snap a few pictures he really did not want to cooperate so I could get a good picture of his arm. We got to pick what color the cast would be so I picked blue.

I have not even begun to wrap anything yet I always procrastinate every year and always wrap on Christmas Eve and rush to get it done. Richard will be off Friday through Monday we are all excited to have him home.

Everyone Should have gotten there Christmas Card by now, I decided not to do a letter this year and just pictures of the kids. All my family and friends have my blog and read so they already know what is going on in our lives. I took the kids picture and went to Walgreen's the pic turned out so cute I decided to post the pictures so everyone can see them again :)

Thank you everyone for making me feel better especially you Jeannie :)

I have been meaning to post all week long but it has been very crazy around here, I am about to leave to take Logan to his GI Doc for a check up and I thought I would post really quick more to follow tomorrow.

Last Tuesday night I had to take Logan to the ER he was scooting up the stairs like he always does and this time he decided to stand up and he fell down I could not get to him in time. When I did he was crying and holding his left arm, just to be safe and so I could sleep at night I took him to the Hospital and they did an X-Ray and found out he had a Buckle Break at his left wrist. He did break it but not all the way so they put it in a splint and I called his Ortho the next day and they got him in. The but a cast on and said it would be on for 3 weeks and to have no extra activity for 5 weeks. We go back January 7th to have it taken off. I felt so bad I was crying, I felt like such an awful Mom. SO from now on he is not allowed on the stairs no exceptions.

And it seems like since he has had this cast on he is getting into everything and I mean everything opening drawers in the kitchen getting into my purse on the counter. Getting into everything he can get his hands on, I never sit down because as soon as I do he is into something. HE has become quite the handful lately.

Oh and every time you tell him to do something he says WHY he is in that stage now everything is WHY WHY WHY... He is also taking more steps every day. HE is always using his walker. He is just amazing me every day.. OK that is enough bragging for one day :) I will post pictures tomorrow.
