No news is good news. Just wanted to share this pic. I've been in Lala-land for about a week (aka Forks for those of you who know what I mean). I've been trying to keep up on everyone's blogs eventhough I haven't been commenting, I'm just in my own little world.

Squeeze'n as much in as I can!

Here are some pics from Aidens birthday party back on the 1st and our house warming party on the 7th. Go Team Edward!





Here are the main highlights since my last post:
Aiden lost a tooth. Last week I had to take him back to Children's Hospital for another round of evaluations. This group of doctors did not feel that autism or asbergers was the appropriate diagnosis for Aiden. They said that he has flags for several different disorders including asbergers, ADHD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, and maybe some others, but they couldn't diagnose him with one specific thing at this time. I must admit, their revocation of an Asbergers diagnosis left me confused and frustrated as it was the only thing that had made since or been agreed upon at this point. Now he has no label wish makes it harder to get help. This has all come at a time when he has been displaying some new challenges as well, I'm worn out. We have an official IEP meeting March 16th, and I hope they are planning to add a few things to his schedule.
On a much lighter note, Lucy is sleeping through the night!! 9pm-6am. Yesss-
She weighed 10.5lbs at her 2 month appointment last week and I finally consented to start some of her immunizations now that I think she is big and healthy enough, but much to the docs dismay I am still planning on delaying the MMR for bother Lucy and Jack until they are 3.
Jack has been doing great and has had no problem transitioning to a "big boy bed". He loves Blues Clues and is already wearing a 3T. He's so easy going even in his "terrible twos".
Bryan is getting ready for a trip to Boston and New York this month. He is also starting a project boat in the garage this week. He plans to start doing side jobs next month as boating season starts getting a little closer, and is planning to get certified as a diver so that he can do some of the work while boats are still in the water. we'll see... He is so happy to have his own man cave and all of his tools.
We had a little house warming get together this past weekend, it was great. Lucy had 2 other babies to play with, Keeley and Dayton, and she looked so tiny next to her friends (Dayton is 1 week older than Lucy and Keeley is about 6 weeks older). I wish I had taken their picture together but they were barely all awake at the same time.
I have lots more to share, and I'll try to blog again this week.

"Thank you Lord for so many things, and please help me to be a good steward of your blessings. Amen."

Stopping by

Here are a few pics from the house, I have lots more I will upload when I get the chance


Yes, I haven't been here in a long time. Today I am visiting my mom's house to use the computer and do laundry. I am switching back and forth to Craigslist trying to find a decent washer and dryer that I don't have to pay too much for.
I hope everyone is well. We have been enjoying our new home. We are feeling pretty settled other than the washer and dryer and still needing a dining room set. I was really gung-ho about getting a new dining set until we received all our medical bills for the last few months (I'm screaming inside).
But the house is great. So thankful.
I'm still trying to get some balance. We've just had too much going on. All I really want to do is stay home for a few days. I've been really missing my morning quiet time. I'm hoping to have a few days at home this week.
Bryan and I stayed up really late both nights this past weekend watching "The Tudors". I don't want to pro-mo it too much here because it is a Showtime original and therefore has way to many rated R scenes in it, but the plot was fabulous. So interesting to learn (although very embellished) about the reformation and Church of England. Can't wait for the next season to come to DVD (we don't have Showtime).
