So today, as my two oldest head back to school, I sit and ponder where to start....
Morgan - 8th grade
Mason - 5th grade
Waiting for the bus!
Since I last blogged, Fred went on his mission trip to Bolivia. Once again he had an amazing time and came home with lots of wonderful/inspiring stories. I love this man's heart for "the least of these".....
Lily had her 3 year old checkup a couple weeks ago. At 3 years and 3 months she comes in at 39.25" tall and 32 lbs. She is currently in the 82nd percentile for height and 53rd for weight. This girl cracks me up every day. You never know what is going to come out of her mouth. She is loving the pool and has started swimming some with her floats off. She went for a speech evaluation with the school system and to my surprise she does not quailfy for speech therapy. I was in utter shock. She is currently right where she needs to be with her speech according to their guidelines. There are a couple areas in which she struggles (something they call backing which falls into the 4 year old catagory in which she says things like gog instead of dog & cluster reduction which falls into the 5 year old catagory in which she says things like pooh instead of spoon), but they do not qualify her for speech through our county school system. According to the developmental ages for sound mastery she can make all her 3 year old sounds (B,H,M,N,W,P), all her 4 year old sounds (D,T,Y,NG) exept for "F", all of her 5 year old sounds (G,K), all of her 6 year old sounds (SH,J,CH) except for "L" and yes we went up to 7 year old sounds in which she can make S,Z,and l,r,s blends...she was not able to make the R,V, or TH sounds yet. So there you have it in a nutshell. Quess momma will be working with her for the time being!
I took Lily and Liam out this morning before we were leaving for Liam's 2 year old check up and got some pictures. These will truly show you her personality!
Oh, and we can't forget the much overdo haircut for Lily. She sat completely still and was so good during the process. Here are a few pictures of the before and after...

After:
Liam is recovering well. I am up to my eyeballs in poop and I am looking forward to the second stage of the surgery! He doesn't seem phased by it all thank goodness. I am currently waiting for the doctor's office to get back with me on a date for the next phase of his surgery. It has to be scheduled on or after Sept. 26th.
Liam had his 2 year old checkup today. At 2 years and 4 months he comes in at 28 lbs and 37.25" tall. Exatly 2" shorter than Lily. He is in the 75% for height and 50% for weight. This boy has such a sweet, gentle spirit about him and brings my heart so much joy.
And the two of them together, well, I think this says it all...
TROUBLE X 2
