The Future House of the Bumgardners

Well, as most of you know, we sold our house while we were on vacation a couple of weeks ago. Since then we have placed an offer on a house that we really really like. We countered a couple of times and were surprised when the sellers settled for $2000 less than what we were willing to pay. We were so excited. The house is on into Danville a little more than we are now. It is in Orchard Estates Subdivision. We know this is the right choice for us. It seems just right for our family. I am putting a picture of it on this site. The plan for now is to close on July 29th and to be moving in by August 5 (My birthday, Woohoo!). We don't have to be out of our house until August 12th so that gives us plenty of time to clean & paint before we start moving our stuff in. Thanks for all of your prayers. God is good!

As for the babies, everything is going okay. We had to take Collin back to the doctor. He hasn't been himself lately. He has been fussy and not able to sleep at night. He has still been wheezing and has had a high pitch sounding cough. We found out that he still has his ear infection. The doctor wants us to continue with his breathing treatments every 4 hours and decrease them as he gets better. They are also putting him on Pulmacor(don't know the spelling) which is a more long term solution for his wheezing.  He will be getting this twice a day for at least a month. They will continue to evaluate him to see how he is progressing. This is a normal problem for preemies. It may be something he grows out of or it may be something he will deal with just like anyone else who has asthma or other respiratory problems. They have also decided to put him on a stronger antibiotic for his ear infection since the other doesn't seem to have helped. Please pray for Collin in this regard.

The babies are doing all kinds of stuff and surprise us every day with their abilities. Anniston seems like she will be crawling any day now. She is able to pull her self up to almost an all fours position. She tries this several times and then resorts to just using her legs to scoot across the floor. Anniston also loves the Jumperoo. Someone at Jason's work loaned it out to us along with an exersaucer (thanks so much). She talks a ton. Bailey seems to be the most advanced at grabbing at things. She loves to play. She is flipping from one side to the other a ton. Collin hasn't yet mastered rolling from his back to his tummy but he will get there. That is a lot of weight to throw around weighing a little over 18 lbs. The babies are all eating their fruits and vegetables very well. They love squash, sweet potatoes, green beans & applesauce the most so far. They will eat anything. They have made funny faces when they have eaten peaches, carrots & bananas but were okay with them the second time around. They are wonderful babies and we are enjoying so much to see them grow and show off what they can do.

Thanks again and again for your continued prayers & encouragement.
