Logan is recovering from his pneumonia. WE found out that the blood culture came back positive for strep pneumoniae. Luckily the antibiotic he was placed on was enough to kick that bacteria's butt.

Went to the DR on Monday for check-ups and Connor's weight is now 17lb 15 oz and Logan is 17 lb 1 oz. Only a 14 oz difference!

First Thanksgiving

Well, Wednesday we had planned on heading down town to go to the Holiday kickoff and lighting cermonies for Fort Wayne, but when I got home from work, Logan was sitting in his Bumbo and was really having a hard time breathing. I picked him up and he was breathing very fast and was irritable and his little chest was sucking in and I could hear his wheezing. I listened to his chest with my stethescope (love that I can do that) and put in a call to aunt Suz, who is also a nurse and respiratory therapist. She could hear him breathing and advised us to go right to the ER-so we did. They did an RSV test and chest Xray. The RSV was negative (phew) but the chest X ray showed he has right side pneumonia. They drew blood to look at his white blood cell count and blood culture, then also did a rapid influenza test. The flu came back negative too (double phew). Since his WBC was within the normal limits, they didn't admit him and allowed him home on antibiotics and breathing treatments every 4 hours. He also ha impetigo on his cheek and on his bottom. Poor guy. Connor is doing OK and getting over his cold, but he also has a horrible open rash on his bottom, so we are treating that with triple antibiotic ointment. So- Logan stayed home with daddy for Thanksgiving while I took Connor and Trevor over to Mom and Dad's for dinner. Logan had his turkey meat and veggies at home. I took a plate home for John. We had nice spread and was nice getting to spend time with family. It was nice having Aunt Di and Katy here as well as Ryan, Bobby and Uncle Jay here as this is the first Thanksgiving without Aunt Jill. We missed her. Christmas will be hard. No shopping on this Black Friday. My experience with retail for 9 years has jaded me against the shopping crowd. Besides, I know there will be good deals to be had in the next few weeks. Let the christmas season begin. We will be putting up decorations on Sunday. Tomorrow John and I will be married for 11 years! How lucky we are! WE got Trevor at our 5 year mark, and twins shortly after our 10 year mark. We are truely blessed. Happy Holidays all!!!!

Daddy is so inventive!!!

Daddy is always looking for the next best thing to keep us busy babies occupied. Well here is the latest and we go absolutly nuts here. This is a bed tray which is the perfect height for us when sitting up to play facing each other. The boppy's protect us from falling backward and clocking our heads. Sometimes we get so excited with a toy we arch backward and OUCH, that hurts! Our favorite is to use the roll-arounds balls and roll them all over the surface and hold them and hit the surface to make sounds out of the balls.

Thank you daddy!! We love you!!

Logan the sitter.

Connor Left and Logan Right.
I want both!!!!
It is so fun watching these guys play and interact with each other. They take things out of each other's hands and make each other laugh. It is so cute. In just 5 days they will be 10 months old! WOW, it is going so fast.

Both boys right now have colds. Dr said as long a the breathing stays OK, we just treat with OTC meds. They have runny noses and coughs, fevers and diarrhea. Plus to top it all off a really bad diaper rash on Logans bum. Hopefully it will be short-lived, but the DR warns it is a nasty virus and has no mercy.

WASH HANDS!!!

Logan is an official sitter!

Logan can now sit unassisted for a good deal of time. We still put the Boppy for safety so he doesnt fling back and hit his head, but he doesnt need it for support. Connor freely sits and is gonna be crawling soon. He scoots everywhere. Logan is scooting a little too. Connor gets up on his hands and knees and rocks and is making motions to get from being on his belly to sitting on his own! Pix tomorrow!
Woo Hoo!

Finally did some fall pix!

Welcome to our new litle girlfriend!

Logan and Connor wish to announce the arrival of the new little girl they will be fighting over.

Welcome Olivia Menor!

Born 11/4/06 weighing in at 6lb and 10oz.

quick update

Babies have been really fussy for the last two days or so. I think teeth are coming. I touched Logans bottom gums today and he cried. Connor is really sitting well by himself. He will go for awhile, esp if he has toys in front of him. Logan is doing better and staying up in the Bumbo for long periods of time. They love thier drums and that gets all of thier attention. Connor has ventured a lot more onto his hands and knees and rocks. Today he scooted everywhere, both front and backwards. WATCH OUT! I see crawling in the near future!
We also introduced watered down apple juice. They drank it down so fast and loved it. Trevor couldnt be left out, so he had some too!

Halloween- Farmer Trevor and his prize-winning peas

We did our traditional Trick or treating in Diana's neighborhood. As always Trevor got lots of "booty". The twins were pea pods and Trevor was a farmer.
