Updates on the boys

Joey is feeling much better now that he is on antibiotics and his fever is gone!! HOORAY!!

Caleb had a big Dr appointment on Monday and it was mixed news. He is very healthy and doing really well. We found out his surgery in China for the Imperforate Anus seems to be ok and placed in the best position. We were also advised he has a more severe form of IA and will probably be followed all his life. If anyone wants more details on this you can email me privately. Caleb also has only one kidney and has a test next week to test the functionality and we will consult with a urologist next Friday to find out all the implications of everything.

With everyone being sick we have not taken a lot of pictures. Tax season is finally over so Baba should be home more and that will make things at home a lot easier!!

Joey's Sick

Poor Joey has not really felt well since we were in China. It has been an up and down thing feeling good for a couple of days and then back to feeling bad again. We spent a good part of today in Urgent Care as Joey's temperature shot back up again over 102. He now has pnemonia poor guy. It has been a little crazy in the house with a bunch of Dr appointments and tests for Caleb and Joey being sick.

We have a big appointment tomorrow with the Colorectal Clinic at Children's Hospital in Denver tomorrow. They will take a look at some of the tests we have had done and give us the results as well as giving us a prognosis on Caleb's Imperforate Anus that was surgically repaired in China. Anyone reading this please send lots of good thoughts and prayers our way as we try to get Joey on the road to recovery and hope for good news at our appointment tomorrow.

We had some fun at the park this weekend. What fun boys!!

Diaper Changing Pad

We have never had a changing table before and didn't find it necessary with Joey. However, with Caleb we are changing diapers frequently and changing them on the floor was becoming quite literally a pain!! So Aunt Kelly very generously (THANK YOU!!) got us a changing pad with a cover and some extra blankets to help keep it clean. So I set it up in out living room yesterday. I had changed the boys each a couple of times on it and it is working out great!! Well I am in the kitchen and Joey comes in telling me something, something, POOPY and is putting a "used" wipe in the garbage. OK......Poopy got my attention. So, I ask him if he is poopy. "NO!! Froggy Poopy." Ok......time to investigate. This is what I find.....

He then proceeds to where I keep the diapers and wipes and digs up a couple more wipes and proceeds to clean froggy up.

One he is all cleaned up Joey tells me "All better now" and takes froggy off the table!! I am so glad I was pretty quick with the camera for this one!!

Happy Easter

After Easter Egg Hunt
Decorating Eggs
At Church

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter yesterday!! We had a great time this weekend. On Saturday Mama and Lao Lao took the boys to an Easter Egg Hunt at the church where they colored some pictures and played some games before eating a hot dog then out for the big hunt. Joey had a great time and gathered lots of eggs. Caleb was not as sure but gathered a few up before they were all gone. We then went out to lunch with Baba and Rory from the office. Later that night we decorated some eggs before we went to bed. We decorated the eggs with stickers this year. Joey loves stickers and it was not as messy as the dye.



On Sunday morning Mama, Baba the boys and Lao Lao all went to church. The Easter Bunny visited us while we were gone and they both loved their baskets and Joey found the eggs that were hidden. Baba went to work for a while and we all went to Grandma's house later in the day for dinner. There was 15 people there including 4 kids. All the kids had a great time playing.

A new adventure!!

I have decided to jump into the blogger world hoping this will be an easier way to keep friends and family current on what is happening with our two boys. I will continue to update our website periodically with various information. This will be follow the more current happenings in our lives. I hope you all enjoy!! Here is Joey helping Caleb take a "bath" in our sink!
