Welcome to LankeyLand!: March 2009

4 MONTH WELL CHECK!

Can you believe these kids are going to be 4 months old on Friday?! They had their 4month well check yesterday and got a great review. Bryanna weighed in at 12lbs 8oz (23 3/4" long) and Big J at 15LBS 5OZ (24 1/2" long)!!! He definitely has no eating problems :-) However, even though this was a "well" check, Josh has been coughing a bit and we had that checked out - turns out he has bronchiolitis and is now on aerosol breathing treatments every couple hours. He is still in great spirits and very happy, just sounds like he's had one too many stogies :-) Good news in Bryanna's court...today we went to the pulmonologist and SHE IS NO LONGER ON THE MONITOR!!! YAY!!!!! Finally, Bryanna has gotten with the times and has gone wireless :-)

(Isn't the bib hilarious? "I'm the LITTLE brother"? HA!)

These little piggies...are getting bigger!

I gotta get these shots while I can!

Spring has sprung!! (At least for a day!)

Finally got the twins out in the fresh air & sunshine! We told them there is more to the world than just the hospital, home & Sam's Club (our usual big outing). Enjoy the pics - no need to explain them! Some are at Sidecut and the others are just around the neighborhood.

First day of PRESCHOOL!!!!

Wow, are we here already??! Elyse started preschool yesterday (March 16) at Lutheran Church of the Master in Perrysburg - Mommy is even a graduate of their program! Yes, it has changed hands since then. Nary a tear was shed, by either Elyse or myself....in fact, she walked right in & made herself at home and I practically did cartwheels in the parking lot :-) Thank you Miss Sandy for letting her start near the end of the year!!!

ELYSE IS FOUR!!!

Because of the twins we couldn't do the normal party at home (too many people in a small space during cold & flu season!) so we decided against our better judgement & had it at Chuck E. Cheese. I have to admit though they do a great party & our hostess was wonderful. They kept things moving and really gave Elyse the royal treatment! Jason & I celebrated with her at home in the morning, giving her our presents and I made the traditional "E" pancake...enjoy!
