"School's Out"

It is so nice having the whole week of Thanksgiving with the kids out of school! 5 whole days, plenty of time for the kids to catch up on school projects (and sleep, lol) Today was productive, we braved the mall and left with a gorgeous dress for Stacy to wear to the holiday social the high school is having. It is sparkly and pretty and everything a 14 year old girl would dream of! Can't wait to see her and Ryan all dressed up-I'm going to be snapping pics like crazy, lol. Still need to get Ry some nicer duds, boys seem easier though to me. I can guarantee he isn't going to be as excited as Stacy was about her dress!!

Samantha is coming with us to the doctor tomorrow...I hope it is okay she is coming. They have had a "no siblings under 12 rule" since the swine flu outbreak...nevertheless, every time we go there are lots of non-patients around. It just means a lot to her to get to feel included in these trips we make so often...in all this time, she has only come twice. Ryan and Stacy opted to stay with Aunt Laurie, it IS a very long day and they will have more fun hanging out with their cousins.

Speech Therapy is going well, we even got an extra slot now for Connor so he is going twice a week now, Woo-Hoo!! Not easy to squeeze him in since the place he goes is so good with kids-it stays booked solid. We have an awesome therapist too, so we are really blessed.

Lots of fun stuff coming up...Thanksgiving, Samantha's 7th birthday party, Fantasy in Lights, the twins social, etc...busy, but a happy kind of busy! Connor is really looking forward to Thanksgiving, lol. He knows about the turkey and pie part at least and that was enough to get him smiling.

Haven't rescheduled the scan yet-hopefully tomorrow we will find out when it will be. For now we are just thankful he is doing as well as he is! Everyday learning new things and enjoying the smallest things.

Happy Thanksgiving and prayers for all the kids hurting this time of year. And the parents that are missing their children so badly.

Love,
Debbie
