So Pitiful

Today I had to take our poor little babies to the doctor. They've all had cold-like symptoms with really bad coughing and congestion. Turns out all of them have RSV...and to make it worse Stella has an ear infection in both ears and Annie Kate just one ear :( They are so pitiful.

We are just very thankful they didn't get this last winter. Due to their "preemieness" they may not have survived it.

The doctor said the RSV will probably get worse before it gets better. We are doing antibiotics and breathing treatments around the clock. Keep our little monkeys in your thoughts!!



This was taken last week, before the sickness. (I just thought they were so cute!)

What to do?

Tonight we are baby free! The girls are spending the night with their Nana for the first time. It is 9 pm and we have nothing to do.

Well, we did have plans tonight. We went to the Chamber of Commerce meeting/dinner at Lander, and we got home earlier than expected. So here we are blogging. It feels so weird to have NO children in the house. I'm really looking forward to sleeping late but most likely I will wake up early anyway. Guess I can take this opportunity to catch up on any Garvin household news. (Not that it's anything exciting)

Jordan will be starting back up with Toros soccer in February. Fun. But a lot of work. Oh and by the way...Josh is officially the Toros president! Yay for him!

The girlies are still crazier than ever. Today I was in the laundry room, had only been in there like 5 seconds, and heard the loudest "thump" ever. So I ran back to the living room and Stella had climbed over the baby gate and fallen onto the hardwood floor. I was so scared for her but mad at her at the same time. I saw her trying to climb out earlier and told her "No, No". Which I'm positive they know what that means. So she definitely knew not to do that. I checked her for bumps or bruises and didn't see any new ones, because they get hurt all the time, but I didn't find any.

Here she is our little Bam Bam.



Good Night for now!

16 Months Old

They are 16 months old and as active as ever! I mean into eve.ry.thing. Climbing on anything, opening all cabinets, putting anything in their mouth that they find on the floor. Whew, it's fun and I wouldn't have it any different. But wow, I can honestly say I don't remember Jordan being this active. (I'm sure he was) But then again there was only 1 of him and I was 11 years younger! They are still taking 2 naps a day which is wonderful!

They are also more precious than ever and it's getting more fun and entertaining everyday!

Oh by the way, they are all sick with colds and runny noses hence the rosy cheeks and nasty noses. :(

Snow!

We were so tired on Christmas Day night we went to bed pretty early. It was rainy when we got in bed and I knew they *said* it was going to snow but I didn't believe it. So we woke up very surprised to see the ground COVERED in snow!!! We took the girls out to play in it after lunch. Stella isn't a fan of touching things she's not sure about. For instance, when she wants to touch the cat she leans in and touches it with her head?! She did the same thing with the Christmas tree. It's really funny to watch. Anyway, so she didn't really touch the snow. Annie Kate and Laila liked it I think. AK liked it when her Daddy would pull the wagon in the snow because it made a loud crunching noise as the snow was piling up under the wheels! She laughed so hard.

Christmas 2010

I finally have a chance to put some Christmas pics on here. We had so much fun with the girls and Jordan. They all got lots and lots of STUFF! Our house is bursting at the seams with toys. Of course, it's all the girls stuff. Jordan gets small expensive things nowadays. The girlies loved unwrapping presents and the boxes and the tissue paper. It was fun. But sure glad we can kinda settle down now.




Jordan got brand new awesome Puma King soccer cleats!!!
