On March 8th, I took Dan and Chris for their 6 month check up. They are getting so big. Dan weighs 17lb 11oz and Chris weighs 19lb 9oz. They both had to get 4 shots. They cried so hard, I hate having to see the go through that.
Chris had sore on his leg, so I had Dr. Murphy look at it. Poor thing had to have it lanced. It was one of the hardest things I had to watch. There was so much puss and fluid in it. The cultures came back positive for staph. I had to take him back 2 days later to make sure that it was healing good. While he checked Chris, I made mention that Michael's had popped, but was still there. He insisted on seeing him too. Poor thing, he had to push on it so hard to get the core of it out. His cultures also came back as staph. I had to wash all the boys and myself 2x a day with a special anti-bacterial solution and give them antibiotics.
Christopher-----Dan was sleeping during my photo shoot.After Matt and Mike empty out my cabinet they like to play in it. They were playing so cute together for about 15 minutes and then they started fighting. It is so cute when they play together but it is also funny when they fight. They don't hold back at all. They pull each others hair, push and pull.
Playing together
Michael was shutting the door on Matt. They were playing peek-a-booAll my boys watching tv together. The Backyardigans still and now Barney!!
Mike and MattMatt loves to play with my Bread Co. cups
On a good note, all the boys are fine now and love playing together. They love playing outside, when I get them out of the van they just want to go in the backyard and play. I just finished raking up the gumballs so the kids won't trip on them. I can't wait to get those darn trees cut down. It may take several years for that to happen, but when it does I will be so happy.
Matt and Mike started brushing their teeth every night before they go to bed. I am brushing my teeth 3 times a day now; morning, 6:30pm and before I go to bed. I have to do it with them before they go to bed to show them how to do it. The first night they really didn't like it all that much, but now they are liking it more and more. So much that when it is time to stop they cry because they don't want to give up the tooth brush.

Currently, their is no way that I will be able to do these things now, but I am going to list them just so I know what needs to be done and if anyone has any suggestions or cheaper ways to get them done let me know. I am sure that I want more done, but right now these are the big things.

good update aunt annie! i love the pic of all the boys watching tv! and the one of matt and mike both brushing their teeth. cant wait to see them all again!
You have the cutest family. Good job Mama. About the things you want to get done. Ha Ha Good Luck. Maybe you'll win the lottery. Oh yeah, I forgot. You don't play the lottery. I love you. Mom
So cute.....all of them. As far as your list goes.....we'll knock out the most of the painting on that Monday after Easter.....Me, Amy, Angela, Courtney, Billy, and anyone else who wants to join us. Starting out early in the morning. We want to finish all in one day if possible. Annie is going to have the place already taped (right Ann?) I can't wait to see the whole family.
Love ya, Jackie
The boys are so darn cute. It was so much fun getting to see them on Saturday. Let me know if you need any help. I will help with the house too. I love to clean:)
they are all soo cute.
So how did they get staph infections? Poor boys! That had to be hard to watch the lancing and the pushing to get the core out. I teared up when they took forever to draw Rocco's blood and he was crying so I can't imagine having to watch that! And then having to bathe all 4 boys and yourself 2x a day? That sounds exhausting! You are super mom! I hope you can get some good, cheap help with your list of house improvements. We need lots of trees cut down too so I feel your pain. We can never afford it so it gets pushed off for something else.
Okay....so, I'm jealous your kids will sit and watch tv. I can't believe you think its funny to watch them fight b/c mine drive me insane when they fight ALL THE TIME! Good Luck with your list...mine is about 10x longer! Krechel family....my house actually NEEDS to be painted...at least Ann's looks nice, although she doesn't like the color much. I would love for you to come paint mine...I'll even tape it all off :) And Danielle, I know how you are with your cleaning...anytime-girly!
Okay, so enough about me....the kids are adorable. Poor Matt with the boo-boo on his nose. Love the photo shoot picture of Chris. So cute! And yes, you are a wonderful mom and doing a great job...I dread bathing my 4 twice a week, so I'm sure that was hard when they had the staph.
And obviously that was me above :) I'm guessing b/c you checked your gmail over here, it kept you logged on, even on blogger.
