Good Friday in Lago Vista

Carey took off for Good Friday and we headed out to Lago Vista for an Easter celebration and Egg hunt. Lots of fun for the adults and kids.

Speech Therapy Play Based Assessment for Porter

I am so glad that I was introduced to ECI (Early Childhood Intervention). The first encounter I had with them was when they contacted me after the babies were born. They followed up with me on feeding, eye sight and hearing due to the babies prematurity. At that time I didn't have any concerns. Abigail's eye check turned out ok and both kids' hearing seemed good.

We started to notice a bit of a delay in Porter's speech. Everything was "buh". We let it go for a few more weeks then I decided to call ECI. Porter has been working with the team for almost a year now (I think that's how long it' s been)

He has progressed and is now on to 3-word sentences. Sissy helps him quite a bit. She doesn't talk for him, he just copies what she says. 

Overall Porter's speech is good. Since Porter didn't talk all that much in the assessment (room full of awesome toys, would you?), I am going to video tape him this weekend when he is around his cousins and at an Easter Egg hunt. I'll then send that in to the team.

You've come so far Bubsy. We are proud of you!!!!

Thanks to our Speech Therapist Wendy Cole!!

Home Depot Date

Dad took the kids to Home Depot Saturday morning. The kids are old enough now to help with the projects for kids. They made bird houses. Later on in the afternoon, dad took the kids back out to the park. Thank you!

(these are in reverse order) sorry.

She let me put them in a vase eventually. (I love them!)

I have flowers and you don't. 

I think this photo is the best of all time. This is what she did when I opened the door. Melt. My. Heart!

Thank you Carey

Thank you for always taking care of the kids in the evening. Thank you for making bath time a special time every. single. night. I really appreciate that. And thank you for giving me lots of breaks when you know I need them. 

Thank you. I love you.

It's the litte things

The kids were getting restless so I gave them shopping bags. I have some from the old days when mom went shopping. They filled their bags with toys and LOVED it. They hung them on their bikes and took off. It was really cute.

Just a few pics of the kids these last few days

Let's go back

Would ya check out those chubby rosey cheeks. Porter wouldn't go down that night so he watched Letterman with mom and dad.
