I love you and I miss you!
Love,

Z's Audiology Appointment

Z had his audiology appointment a few hours ago and everything went well. He did an awesome job following directions and playing fun "games" with the machines and sounds. The doctor and the tech said the test results indicated that he has some fluid in his left ear that interferes a little with low frequency sounds but that his ability to hear was still within the normal range. I'm very thankful for that and I'm thankful for such caring people like Z's teachers and doctors that care enough to pursue testing and/or treatment options.

I'm Slacking!

Sorry I haven't posted much lately...things are crazy busy (no excuse) but I'll be posting some pictures soon. The kids are doing great...growing too fast of course! Ains and Z have a total of 5 days of school left...wow that went fast! It really works out to 2 and a half weeks since they go Tuesdays and Thursdays but it was still fast! We have swim lessons lined up for the summer and many trips to the zoo and aquarium I'm sure, along with play dates with classmates and lunches with Sue Sue. I have all these grand plans of things that we will do to keep up with the skills we learned at school but that only seems to last a short time. I'm praying that I will stick to it and they will enjoy it=0)
Z has an appointment with an audiologist today because there has been some concern from his teachers that he has a hearing problem. I think he hears just fine )besides when he is ignoring us on purpose...ha ha!) but we'll check just to make sure.
My sister-in-law Liz is getting married soon and I am honored to be in her and Caleb's wedding! Ainsley is going to be in it too and is super excited to get all dressed up and go dancing. Her and Z were practicing their dance moves last night after a bath! Too funny.
Our FSMA garage/bake sale is coming up soon. I'm excited to be a part of that and to help get a NM chapter for FSMA! If anyone has any items they'd like to donate, drop them by my house by Friday, May 8th.

Happy (Late) Easter to Everyone!

Our Easter was not so great...everyone but Mike was sick so we weren't even able to make it to church. I was bummed because I was looking forward to it. And I had planned to hide all the plastic eggs I had filled up Saturday afternoon. We were able to make our traditional Bunny Cake and the kids enjoyed decorating that. We'll have our egg hunt tonight instead. Hope everyone had a beautiful Easter!

Ainsley's Dinosaur Museum





This was actually the rebuilding since Z took it upon himself to play Godzilla to the original display. Funny, he waits patiently until Ainsley places the last piece just so and I get up to take a picture and then he goes on a rampage. Oh, the tears and the screaming! It is so hard at their ages for them to realize that it is not the end of the world. Of course, I react that way to things that are so out of my control and really not as horrible in the big picture of life. I guess we don't really ever grow out of that!

J's Dress


Here is J in her dedication dress. Someday when I have time to scrapbook again, I'll do a whole page on her dress like I did for Ains. I loved the colors in her dress and I wanted Ains to have something similar but not exactly the same. Then, I chose a cute shirt for Z that had some of the same colors as the girls' dresses. She didn't wear any shoes because she can't keep anything on yet except Robeez. I still have Ainsley's dedication shoes so I tried them on J but they were too big. Z didn't have any shoes on when he got dedicated either because I couldn't find any I liked in his size.
All 3 Cuties!

More Posts to Come!

I'll be posting pictures of Jess in her dedication dress soon. Thanks to everyone who was able to make it, we really appreciate it! We just got the DVD yesterday in the mail. Mike probably won't watch it with me but I know Ains and Z will!

I've noticed my FEEDJIT map shows that I have some international guests who have visited my blog. I wonder...do you follow it regularly or is it something you happened upon accidentally? And, are any of you familiar with SMA? Just curious=0)
