Happy New Year (a little late)

Austin & Ellie playing on a chilly sunny afternoon.
Alex, Austin and Ellie find a worm and make a home for it in the dirt.
Cute :-)

Hi Friends & Family -

Well, I went a whole month without posting, and taking very few pictures. We have had a good start to 2009. Alex is busy with school and cub scouts. Lots of fun projects going on. I have been trying to stay busy with the twins and being outside when weather permits. I have taking lots of walks/jogs on the trail. Love it!

The 3 kids just got over being sick for a week and a half. It was not fun, but thankfully they are all better. Will and I have stayed well through it all. He traveled to Vegas last week on business, so he enjoyed a nice relaxing weekend...actually we all did.

The twins are doing really well. They are talking more and becoming very independent. Their favorite thing to say is "I do it". Ellie helps me set the table now and loads the dishwasher. It's great :-) I think Ellie is almost ready to transition to the potty. I am planning on potty training them beginning of March. It is very possible that she will start before Austin...we'l l see. They are also talking much better and pretty much repeat anything we say. Watch out!

Alex is also doing great. His therapists (PT and OT) are so happy with how well he is doing. We are actually going to start going every 3 months instead of every month.

Last... a friend of mine is having a "Fundraiser Event" for Alex / PPMD on March 28 from 2:00 to 6:00. More details will follow. I do know that three vendors will be displaying and selling their products and part of the sales going towards PPMD in honor of Alex. Also, all 3 vendors have websites, so you can purchase online and still take part in the fundraiser. Again, stay tuned for details.

Have a Great February and Happy Valentines!!! Will and I are going out on a very special date night on Feb. 14. Hope you all do the same :-)


~Hugs~ xoxoxoxo
