Update and the Weekend

Update: this is copied off facebook!
great news!! Melissa is off the vent. She has moved her legs and fingers on command. Just got a text from Carolyn, she said :"MOM!" Keep praying, things are looking up for the Riggle family" What a joy that "MOM" word much have brought to this mom's heart! Like Amy said...Keep Praying!
We have had a VERY busy weekend. Matt and I decided to do a little rearranging yesterday. It was our plan to do some of this before Trigger was born...we actually started rearranging furniture the Sunday before I was put into the hospital. Anyway, we have moved all of my craft/sewing/scrapbook stuff to the office. Matt and I now share the office. And, our guest bedroom is just that...a guest bedroom. AND, eventually...NOT NOW (unless God has other plans)...we will move Trigger to the back room and a brother or sister will occupy Trigger's nursery. NOTHING is organized and everything looks horrible right now but it's going to look much better when I get everything organized.
I'm home today with a sick and VERY fussy baby!!! He was screaming until almost midnight last night. We went to see the dr. this morning. He has an upper respiratory virus. I really thought he had an ear infection but he doesn't. She thinks the screaming is from being so congested/not being able to breathe and teething (his 8th tooth). Soooo...we now have a decongestant that will hopefully work and not make him wired!!! AND...hopefully this is not going to mess up our napping/sleeping through the night routines!!!! :)
I have inclueded some pictures from our little photo session from this weekend while Matthew mowed the grass. For some reason while Trigger was in the grass, he wouldn't put his knees down while crawling. It was hilarious to see him crawling on this toes. He must not like the feel of grass on his knees.

He got a little upset when I would pull the grass out of his mouth...I know...I'm a horrible mom.

AND, we're happy again!

I hope you have a great week!

The Woodards

My name is Garson Woodard. I'm a wife to Matt. He is the most incredible husband a girl could ask for. We met in Kindergarten at Cedar Creek (the school we attended for 13 years). Matt and I started dating our Jr. year in high school and dated for 6 years. We got married on June 26, 2004. I am so thankful that God brought us together! I am a mother to Trigger, Campbell, and Larkin. We worked hard to have all of them. After 2 miscarriages, two years after trying to get pregnant, a 2 week hospital stay, and a short (didn't seem short at the time) NICU stay, we brought home our first precious miracle: Trigger! He was born on July 29, 2008. Trigger's completely spoiled rotten! He is full of personality and definitely shows some of the same tenacity that his namesake had!

With our second child, Campbell, we made it to 38 weeks. He was born on June 3, 2010. He still had to stay in the NICU for 5 days for breathing issues. Campbell is absolutely precious..shy but such a little clown. I can't wait to watch our two boys which are 22 months apart) grow up together. I know they are going to fight constantly but be BEST of friends at the same time!

I just thought my boys were our miracles...and they are...but, at the end of May 2011, Matt and I found out that we were expecting the biggest surprise of our life. We were having baby #3 after being told we could never get pregnant on our own. AND, to add to the excitement, we were having a GIRL. After dealing with my medical issues, a two vessel cord, and IUGR, Larkin was born on January 6, 2012. She came here ruling the roost and I am sure that is not going to change anytime soon.

After what seemed like forever thinking that I would not have any children, God has blessed me with three beautiful babies all within 3.5 years.

After having Campbell, Matt and I decided I would become a stay-at-home mom. In alot of ways it is more difficult than teaching because I am with OUR children all day...and OUR children don't seem to listen like my students would. HOW DOES THAT WORK? Haha! Seriously though, it is the BEST job in the world and I feel very blessed to be able to be home to witness each and every minute of our boys' lives!

I started this blog when we found out we were pregnant with Trigger and have continued to document our crazy lives with a toddler and a baby since I don't have time to scrapbook anymore. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you visit again!
