Apani has pneumonia.
We were on our way out the door to go to the ER last night and she asks, "Can you do my hair?" Beauty must never be sacrificed no matter how sick one is!

My new obsession!
Making videos!!
This was a conversation I had with Abby when she was 3 and a 1/2. ...
The problem is, you can only publish videos with points and unfortunately, you can only publish one movie before you have to buy more points. But you can earn points through referrals! So SIGN UP!

Where's 4? No, actually, where's my head?
We went for a walk. Whenever we go for a walk, my focus becomes not on where we are going, but on keeping track of the girls. I need to do several head counts. Today, like once before, link I had a moment of sheer fright as I thought I had lost one. I count 1 ... 2 ... 3 ... ... ... ... 4? Where's 4? 4!!!! After freaking out I realized, 4 was ... IN THE STROLLER I was pushing. I'm an idiot.
Sum Vaca Day 2
Kaity almost lost an eye, thank you Abby.
Lots of time out, for Abby.
Yelled ... a lot, thank you Mommy.
Daisy keeps falling but keeps trying.
Transition to crib, failed, thank you El.
Maddy is on bath strike.
Slept an hour later this morning. o_O
Try not to yell today.

She's a-walkin'!!
Go Daisy Go!
She took a few steps the other day and now there's no stopping her. She's so proud of herself and offers lots of encouragement...high pitched squeals and clapping...super cute!

Something I learned over the past few days
QUIT COMPLAINING!! Because things could be so much worse. Yea, it's hard taking care of 4 kids, but I am healthy. Til a few hours ago, I think I broke my foot. It looks like there's a golf ball in it. I'll be heading to the hospital as soon as the girls are in bed.
So if I ever start complaining again, someone needs to hit me in the head because at least I can get out of bed.

What a storm!
And it couldn't have happened at a worse time.
I noticed Maddy falling asleep before 11. Her naps, when she takes them are much later, usually around 2. So I went over to her and she was burning up. I took her temp, it was 103.4! Man this child and her high fevers!! I gave her several cups with tylenol, all wasted. She was NOT in the mood to drink. She just wanted to lie down, watch tv, and sleep.
We made an appt and saw the dr who saw nothing wrong, (no infections), assuming it's a virus, she said just give her plenty of fluids and tylenol. ... easier said than done. I planned to go to the pharmacy and pick up some tylenol suppositories because there was no way she would take the medicine and she wasn't drinking her juice.
As I'm walking out the door of the office, the power went out. There were some crazy winds. The whole town lost power. Have I mentioned how much I hate it here sometimes?? So I couldn't run to the pharmacy, but I knew I had one suppository left at home so I wasn't too worried. Yea, well, it was expired.
So here we were, sitting in the dark, with a high fever, no A/C and oh yeah, temps outside above 90 degrees! How in the world was I going to bring her fever down? I thought my only way was to force tylenol with a syringe. She spit what she could out and then vomitted all over the floor. I was devestated. My poor baby didn't drink more that a few ounces all day and there it is sitting in front of us on the floor. What was I going to do now? Am I just putting off a trip to the ER? Really? Again? Can we PLEASE just go a week orTWO without a trip to the Dr/ER?
I tried giving her salty things to encourage drinks. It didn't really help. She took a few sips. I decided to give her a bath, but when I went to get her, she was asleep again.
Three hours later, the power returned. My mood lifted. She's sleeping soundly in a nice cold room. I'm waiting for her to wake up for some juice. I hope she wakes up feeling better.

One of my greatest desires ... at the moment
To sleep like a baby...anywhere, any time.
Apani took a nap today. She hasn't had a nap since her time in the womb so she woke up a little disoriented and asked "Is today still Sunday?"

She's 11 months!!
It's FINALLY nice enough to play outside!!!
I just LOVE the view!
Are we already getting ready to celebrate her 1st birthday?
Here's what's new.
Kisses!
Waves!
She can sign 'finished' and 'more'...w e l l, she takes my hands and makes ME sign more. But she can also say more and saying it seems to work better for her. She has even said Daisy a few times.
One of my favorite things she does is the way she hugs. She is such a cuddler. Whenever she is picked up, she tightly wraps her arms around your neck, squeezes as hard as she can, and lays her head on your shoulder. It's heaven.
With the humidity, she isn't really rockin' her Beatles hairdo anymore. It's more like the Flip.
Checking on our Strawberries
We stopped the birds, but now bugs keep eating them :'(
Chocolate!!!
Best Friends
Sometimes, Maddy doesn't like having a shadow, I mean best friend.
