3 Months in 3 Days

Here are the most recent pics of the babies taken last week. They are really getting more and more fun everyday. Ryan left for Puerto Rico today.. brat. He got to go back to Keller last night to check on the house. He got to have margs at the absolute very best restaurant around.. Los Molcajetes (Molc for short)!!!! He went with our good friends the Paddacks and the Tracers. I have margaritas on the brain though because we're currently planning our big family trip to Mexico this fall. Viva Mexico!!

So serious...

I know, I know.. I'm not doing such a good job..

Okay, so it's been forever since I posted anything. Sorry about that. I promise I'll post new pictures soon too. I just have to find the camera. It's been CRAZY around here! Who would have thought babies could be so demanding. I got a taste of what having just one baby was like while I was in the hospital with Hunter. As you can see I had alot more time to post things. Throw another one in the mix and it's another story. But I LOVE it!!! Well Hunter is out of the hospital. He had to come home with oxygen, but only for 2 days so it wasn't that bad. He now weighs 12.7. He's gaining an ounce a day so who knows where that will take us! Reagan is still a little peanut. Newborn and 0-3M clothes are still too big for her. Hopefully she'll always have that problem! They'll be 3 months old February 28th. Where does the time go... Ryan came home early on Valentine's Day. That was a very nice V-Day present to say the least, but he's off to Puerto Rico next week. Rough life he leads! We finally went out to dinner Friday night for Mexican food and margaritas. I have to say it really made us miss our Texas friends and our Friday margarita dates!! There still is no margarita like a margarita from the Molc!!!

Guam, U.S.A. at last!! Almost home!

Well, Daddy made it to Beautiful Guam, USA last night. I have to say it's nice being back on the Eng"R"ish speaking side of the world. Getting what you need is a whole lot easier! It was funny, waking up this morning was a treat; Police Sirens, Traffic Roars, the usual US sounds: pleasing. Anyway, here is a nice picture of the bay outside of my room at the Marriott.

Blog Hacker is Back!!

The mysterious blog hacker strikes again. This time from the Okinawa Japan Naha Airport. If there was ever any doubt, Japan is a pretty weird place compared to America. Here are a couple pictures of some weird but kind of neat things.... Here McDonalds is called Donald McDonalds and Ronald has Japanese eyes. I wanted a picture but the play house was filled with germ ridden kids!

Headed to Guam now on a flight from Okinawa to Osaka Japan and then back again to Guam. Total flight time is a bit over 6 hours total. Hope my bag makes it. I did some shopping and got the kids and wife a present. Japan is full of curious little things to buy so it was fun searching the huge stores for Japanese type things.

I officially have a blog hacker...

I love the headline Ryan put down below. To me it looks like he may be the one drinking too much judging from how he spelled drinking!!! Too funny. And NO, I was not nursing Hunter!!! I actually had quite a fun night in the hospital. My in-laws showed up with a nice little basket filled with wine, cheese, and crackers. Then my dad stopped by to bring me some "coffee" which turned out to be more wine but disguised in my coffee cup! Of course he brought a beer for himself:-) I'm sure the nurses thought we were a family full of drunks, but it was alot of fun just hanging out. Hunter was just happy to see people without masks on!! He'd take a night hanging out with his grandparents over pretty much anything:-)

On another note, the nurses gave Hunter some syrup-water tonight because he's a tad constipated (you know no conversation is complete without ending up talking about poop!). Well he drank it down quick, pooped, and then threw up all over himself and my sheets. I had just dressed him in a cute little outfit and I didn't have anything else to dress him in. So.. he is now wearing the official hospital duds. How cute is he?!

Driniking it up in the Hospital!

I'm in Okinawa Japan worried that my son is stuck breathing through a tube and I get this picture in my email box from my Parents. I think they were telling on Amanda! Drinking it up with Cheese and Wine! And no, Amanda was not feeding Hunter! Priceless...

"I'm Pooped!!!"

Here's Hunter on Day 6 of his hospital stay. It doesn't look like he's doing too bad! Actually he is doing pretty well, but he probably won't be able to go home until at least Sunday. He needs to hold his oxygen on his own at at least 88% and he's not able to do so right now because he is so congested. As soon as he can hold 88% oxygen on his own, he'll be allowed to go home. We'll have to keep him on oxygen at home until he can keep it where it's supposed to be (high 90's). I finally got to go hang out with Reagan for a bit today. I miss her so much. Poor thing.. she probably feels abandoned! Her Daddy, Mommy, and brother are all gone. Hopefully we'll be back to a normal family soon. Ryan will be home in 8 days!!

Hunter's New Accessory

We're now going on Day 5 of Hunter's hospital stay. I'm not sure how much longer he'll be in here but, hopefully I'll have a better idea after the doctor comes in this evening. He had to be put on oxygen Tuesday night and he is still on it. They attempted to do a "room air challenge" today to see if his oxygen level was back up to par on his own, but it wasn't. He's now back on it. Other than that, he seems to be doing well. At least from what I observe. He is one of many babies in this hospital right now with RSV. It's got to be the most disgusting virus out there for babies. Sorry to be graphic, but the stuff that is suctioned out of his nose is nasty!!! Well here is a picture of him. He still is cute as ever-especially with his fancy oxygen tube!

It's always something..

Being the paranoid mom that I am, I brought Hunter to the ER Sunday because he had a horrible cough and was very congested. He tested positive for RSV so they admitted him. To be on the safe side the doctors admitted Reagan as well. She still hasn't shown the bad symptoms that Hunter has so they discharged her today. It's now Tuesday and Hunter is still in the hospital. We're hoping he will be able to go home this evening. Luckily his lungs sound clear and his oxygen level is good. He hasn't had to have any oxygen since he's been in here, just deep suction in his nose to get all the gunk out. He HATES it but feels so much better afterwards:-) He still smiles like crazy at the nurses and doctors even though he feels horrible. He is such a sweet boy. It's just he and I hanging out now and we're having a great time together:-) Mom and Dad took Reagan home. I'll make sure to keep you posted! Oh yeah, it snowed yesterday so I'm stoked!!

An "RJ" Production

"Letters from Okinawa"

Daddy is having a great time in Japan!!!

Hey everyone! I am in Yokosuka, Japan working on the Naval Base. Its a great view I have from my office as you can see. I am leaving to Okinawa, Japan today (Saturday, Feb. 1, 2008) and will be there for another week. I miss Amanda and our new babies tons and can't wait to see them on Feb. 17th! I send all my love.

TGIF!!

Well not much has changed since yesterday, but at least in these pictures Hunter has his eyes open and Reagan is attempting to look happy. Oh yeah, and I wanted to show that they do have things to entertain them with other than their swings:-)
