This week ...

This week ...
Josie finally cut another bottom tooth, a top tooth that decided it wasn't quite ready to make it's final appearance and disappeared, and a big, huge molar. We couldn't figure out why she wasn't sleeping well, but when we saw that big tooth, mystery solved! The other reason she wasn't sleeping good is because she has bronchitis again. The good thing about her being sick again is that we got our own nebulizer with 50 more premixed doses of albuterol, so it should last for quite awhile and save us many doctor visits! We're giving her breathing treatments twice a day to hopefully keep it from turning into pneumonia again. But, she gained two pounds and at almost 14 months old she now weighs in at a whopping 18.7 lbs.!! I can tell because it is getting harder to get her in and out of bed, high chair, and car seat. Through it all, she sure is cute and happy and just content with it all. What more could you ask for?


This week Maggie started gymnastics again and a ballet/tumble class. She really is showing great signs of improvement and I'm really impressed and pleased with her progress. She enjoys the social interaction and loves the time she gets to spend with her friends. She also got a hair"trim" on Saturday. We don't ever CUT her hair, she just gets trims. It's also started to curl quite a bit, I never would've noticed because I've never left it down before! I've heard many comments on how much older it makes her look to have her hair down. I think I need to leave it down more to let the little broken peices grow out and get it healthy again.



Johnny is continuing to do great in school. His reading skills have improved so much this year. He is now reading street signs and menu items and anything he can find and is so proud of himself. His teacher has great things to say about his progress this year and we're so proud of him. His nintendo skills are also improving from lots of practice in case you're wondering. We all have our priorities!

Holy cow, does Maggie ever look old in these pics! So cute! I can't believe how big all of the kids are getting. Josie looks so darling. I can't believe that she only weighs 18 lbs! I would like to bet that Berkley will weigh that at 4 months! We'll have to see. I'm so sorry that she's sick again. I really hope that she gets better. We sure love you guys!

Maggie you do look older with your hair down. What a beautiful young lady you are. And what a cute little Josie. She is so wonderful even when she is sick. And Johnny we are so proud of you and what a good reader you are. You'll have to bring your Nintendo so you can show us how good you are. We heard they were releasing a bunch of Wiis Apr 1st. We'll have to see if there are any left on the 2nd. Then we would have our own and you could show us on ours. We're sure sorry Josie is sick again. We'll sure be praying for her. We love all of you. We can hardly wait for you to get here.
