Playing with Cookie Cutters

2010-05-17T11:40:00.000-04:00

Our neighbors are moving after living in their house for 58 years. Every week, they bring us more things. Today we got cookie cutters. AJ was playing with them, and daddy said it reminded him of when he was little, and Oma would let him play with her cookie cutters.

Playing the Piano with Aunt Alice

2009-10-23T16:30:00.003-04:00

Today we went to visit daddy's Great Aunt Alice. She played the piano with Iris. We really loved visiting her, and she showed us off to all of her friends.

You Know Its The End Of Summer When.....

2009-09-06T20:44:00.002-04:00

All Summer long, we have heard the Ice Cream Man driving around Hellertown. Tonight, at 8:oopm, after the sun had set, he finally drove by our house. (Well, actually, he was driving down the side street, but we were able to catch him with Daddy's help).

AJ's First Hair Cut

2009-07-01T11:51:00.000-04:00

AJ is home!!!

2009-06-28T02:34:00.000-04:00

AJ was released from thr hospital Friday afternoon. He was very happy to be home, and was very excited to see the girls, and his buddy, Rosco!!!

He will have to go back for a dressing change on Monday, but atleast he will get to come back home again after it is done!!!

Set Back???

2009-06-26T01:05:00.000-04:00

Sitting up, worrying about AJ. About an hour ago, he somehow managed to pull his hand about 75% out of his dressing. It is no longer imobilized. The nurse paged the burn team, but the only one on was a nurse who wasn't qualified to change the dressing. Now we have to wait until 8:30 until the surgeon or his assistant get here to see if any damage was done to his skin graft...

It just seems like anything that could go wrong so far, has....

Sleeping

2009-06-25T16:36:00.001-04:00

AJ passed out on the floor, the nurse said to just put a blanket over him and leave him... Remember when you could sleep anywhere?

Lili & Iris Day!!!

2009-06-25T00:12:00.003-04:00

Lili & Iris have been taking the past week pretty hard, too. One night, Iris cried herself to sleep because she missed Mommy and Daddy. The following morning, she was found sleeping in AJ's crib.

Today, I spent the day with them. It was Pop pop, Aunt Heidi and Mike's last day in PA, so the six of us went to Hershey, PA. We didn't go to Hershey Park, but we spent lots of time at Chocolate World, got some t-shirts, ate in the Kit Kat Kafe, and then went to The Hershey Story, a museum about Milton Hershey.

They had a blast!!! It was a fun day, and did a lot to help them keep their minds off of their little brother.

Free At Last!

2009-06-24T08:24:00.001-04:00

They had to take out his IV last night, the line got a clot in it. Now he can hold his bottle again!!! Yah!!!

They will have to put a new one in for the dressing change on Friday, boo...

Look at My New Blue Hand

2009-06-23T19:46:00.002-04:00

AJ had his dressing changed this morning by the surgeon who performed his transplant surgery. He said it looked good, but was concerned about a little blood clotting under the transplant. Instead of getting the dressings changed one more time on Thursday and going home, we will still be here until atleast Friday, when he will change the dresing again. We will have to bring him back on Monday for another dressing change. Eventually we will get home care visits to help with them, but for now, it seems like he doesn't want anyone to mess up his hard work.

AJ's Update

2009-06-22T23:49:00.003-04:00

OK, so I guess I didn't go into much details as to the how and why that AJ is in the hospital, so here goes:

Last Tuesday, AJ (16 months, btw) managed to climb up high enough to reach a little 4 cup coffee pot that was on a kitchen counter. It was empty, but he turned it on, and burned his hand on the warming plate. We rushed him to the emergency room, they dressed it with burn cream, and refered us to another hospital for a follow-up visit at their Burn Recovery Unit.

We went ther on Friday, expecting to have the blisters popped, getting shown how to properly clean and treat his hand, and then were planning on going to Philadelphia with my Dad, Heidi and her some Mike, who were visiting us from Michigan. As soon as they cut the blister, which covered half of his palm, they called for a burn surgeon, and admitted us into the hospital.

Saturday morning, he was in surgery for over 3 hours. The burns were 3rd degree, not 2nd degree as was first thought, and they had to take skin from his hip to transplant on his hand and fingers.

Tomorrow (Tuesday the 23rd) they are going to remove the dressings, and see if the graft was successful or not. I will update everyone when I know more.

Yum!!! Grapes

2009-06-20T19:25:00.001-04:00

AJ is feeling a little better this evening . Enjoying his grapes before trying some roasted turkey!

Just woke up

2009-06-20T14:57:00.001-04:00

The red square on his thigh is where they harvested the skin graft.

Out of Surgery, Back In Room

2009-06-20T12:32:00.002-04:00

AJ is out of surgery, took 3 hours. They had to graft his palm and four fingers. He will be in the hospital for at least 5 days, now. They will sedate him in two or three days to remove the dressing and inspect the graft. The surgeon said he will probably take a year to fully heal, with physical therapy and possibly more surgeries. We will update more when we know more.

Dave

Still Waiting

2009-06-20T10:17:00.001-04:00

He has been in surgery for over 2 hours now... Probably means he needed a skin graft...

April Fools!!!

2009-04-01T17:53:00.002-04:00

Well, Daddy really got us today... We were sitting down for dinner, when he asked who wanted juice. Of course, Lili and I jumped up and down and said "We Do, We Do!!!" He got our Disney cups out of the fridge and gave them to us. We both took a big sip, but nothing came out... mommy asked us what was wrong, and we shrugged our shoulders and tried again. Still nothing...

Iris thought that the straws were too little, so Mommy got us bigger ones, but still nothing happened. Finally, Iris took the straw from her cup and stuck the bottom of it in her mouth. She shouted "Hey, this isn't juice, its Jello!!!" We all laughed alot, as Daddy shouted "April Fools!!!"

Merry Christmas everyone. We had a great day. Santa was definitely good to us. We weren’t sure for awhile if we were going to get anything, we have been fighting with each other a lot, lately, but I guess we pulled it off. We got Little Tykes cameras, so we will be adding a lot of our own pictures, now. Here are a few that we took today…

We did this a few weeks ago, for Nanna's Birthday Present, but we had to wait until she got it before we could post it. We took lots of pictures that day, but our favorite was the 'Dog Pile' one!!! (From top to bottom, Baby AJ, Lili, Iris, Cousin Ryan, and seated on the left, Cousin Danny)

A Day At The Lake

2008-06-26T13:17:00.006-04:00

Everybody’s talkin’ about a day up at the lake

So let’s get our bags and guitars and all the food that we can take

I’ll meet you on the corner when the sun decides to break

So catch that train

Come on out and catch it

Catch that train

It’s a topsy turvy world that

We’re all living in today

Let’s take a trip before the

Summer sun has gone astray

When we ride, we ride together

And so I say
Catch that train…

Last weekend, we went to Michigan for our Great-Grandfathers 90th Birthday Party. We finally got to meet many of our relatives that we have heard about. One of those relatives was Cousin Ricki. (Actually she is our First Cousin, Once Removed. We looked it up on Wikipedia, you can check it out for yourself if you want right here.) She is a photographer, and took a lot of pictures. Here are some pictures she took of Lili.

This one is Lili dancing with Daddy

Today, we went to a park to see how Rosco would do in a car ride with all five of us.

Daddy said this is a Lean-To. He said that he slept in one once!!! He MUST be crazy....

This river sure does look inviting on such a hot day.

Wow, this water sure is cold!!!

It is fun to make splashes with rocks, though...

We Did It

2008-03-15T23:09:00.000-04:00

We finally got to see a movie in a movie theatre!!! It was a lot of fun, but we did give Daddy a hard time near the end. We wanted to climb up and down the stairs at the theater instead of watching the end of the movie, but who could blame us, the stairs had blue lights in them!!!

Cant Wait

2008-03-14T10:41:00.002-04:00

We deleted the Interactive Who's they were too noisy, and slowed down out blog too much... but we did have lots of fun seeing out first movie at a theater with Dad and Poppop!!!

This was taken earlier today, Baby AJ had some breathing problems shortly after he was born. they took a chest x-ray and found air between his lungs and his chest cavity. He was treated with 100% oxygen for around 4 hours, and is breathing normaly now.

The hospital called just before Mommy and Daddy were about to leave. There are nine women in labor there right now, and the 10:30am C-Section has not started yet, so they are postponing Mommy's until tomorrow at 8am.... Now we wait some more...... We don't think he will ever get here!!!

Our Special Day

2008-02-25T09:29:00.000-05:00

2008-02-24T23:48:00.002-05:00

In 15 hours, Mommy will be in surgery and shortly after that, we will have a baby brother. Once she is in a room, Nana will bring us over to the hospital to meet our new baby brother!!! We can't wait to see him. We have been kissing him through Mommy's belly, and Lili even points to her belly and asks, "Baby AJ?", but soon we will be able to give him a real kiss!!!

Iris

Here Comes AJ!!!

2008-02-05T12:15:00.000-05:00

Mommy just came home from a Dr's appointment, and everything is good!!! She said he has plenty of fluid, nice heartbeat, and good breathing. She told us that she is going to have an Amnio, what ever that is, on Thursday, February 21st. Assuming that everything goes well with that, she is going to have a C-Section on Monday, February 25th. We think that means that we are going to finally get to meet Baby AJ!!!!

AJ's Due Date

2008-01-09T08:51:00.000-05:00

Well, the official due date is March 12th, but Mommy thinks he will get here early!!! We can't wait to see him!!! Please take a minute to vote in our pole in the top right corner. You can also reply to this message with your exact prediction if you want.

A Busy Day

2007-11-27T18:07:00.000-05:00

Today was a very exciting day!!! This morning, Mommy and Daddy went to the doctors office, and got to see our little brother again! They said that his cysts have cleared up and could not be detected on the ultrasound, yeah!!! They told us that AJ weighs 1lb12oz, that sure is small, even by Lili's standards! lol

We also found our Little People Nativity Set! We had been looking for it for almost a year now!!! We came in the living room, and there it was, we don't know how we've missed it all this time. Iris likes "Baby Eesus" the best, but Lili likes "Moo, Bah and Nay"!!!

Well, we got to get going soon, we are going to pick Mommy up from work, and then we need to get some sleep, as Lili had her speech therapy in the morning.

Christmas Wish List

2007-11-12T14:54:00.001-05:00

We have come up with a little list to give people ideas of things we would like for Christmas. Lili wears 24 month and 2T, Iris wears 3T. We would love some cozy pj's, we like one piece ones with feet that zip up the front. We also like nice, soft sweat pants and long sleeve onesies. We made a wish list on Walmart.com, it is in the links on the right of our blog, or you can just click here.... Our Wish List. We love animated movies, and haven't got any new ones lately. We would love Shrek III and Ratatouille.

OK, thanks for now, we got to get back in out playroom, Between the Lions is starting on PBS.

ps, Did we mention how much we still LOVE Dan Zanes?!?!?

Here Comes AJ!!!

2007-11-10T23:00:00.001-05:00

Well, there are going to be some changes around here, mostly because we are expecting a little brother!!!! His name will be AJ, and we expect to welcome him into our family around March 12th.

Mommy and Daddy were worried these past few weeks, as there were some scarey things in his ultrasound, but they finally have gotten all the test results back, and he is going to be just fine. If you want to know more info, email Mommy or Daddy, and they will fill you in. We don't want to worry about it here, we are just so happy that we will have a baby to play with!!!

Well, we've gotta get back to bed before they find out we are still up this late....

Love,
Lili and Iris

Pit Stop

2007-10-12T00:22:00.000-04:00

On our way to Michigan to see Gramma and PopPop, we made Mom and Dad stop somewhere in the middle of Pennsylvania. We got off the exit, and the only thing there was S. B. Elliott State Park. We had lots of fun collecting leaves, acorns and sticks!!!

Don't let the pictures fool you, there is only one baby this time. They just posted two pictures of the same baby. Our new baby is due just before Daddy's birthday, on March 12th.

Our New Summer Photos

We went to the mall today, and got lots of new clothes. Mommy and Daddy liked out new outfits so much, that they got our pictures taken in them. We especially liked all the pretty flowers! Nana, Grandma and Grandpa should watch their mail boxes, as we made Mommy and Daddy promise us they would send our grandparents copies!!!
