Time Flies -- last two weeks of March

Ok, Ok...I know life is busy with a husband and two dogs but geez add in three kids and I never seem to have enough time to get this blog updated! So here goes the last two weeks in a nutshell (except Maddie's birthday I will save that for it's own post)....my Aunt Kim finally came out for a visit...she got to lots the kids alot for us because it turned out that the three days she was here we had Madison's IEP meeting and as evaluation at St Ritas. So she took the kids to the park and even got to squeeze a movie in with Zach and Maddie. Thanks Aunt Kim!!! Then we hosted an Apraxia playgroup at the house, finally...we have been here for what 8 months and we are finally have other kids over...Ashley worked extremely hard on a English project...she had to created this massive scrapbook of her short 13 years of life...she did an awesome job and the final product was fantastic...she got an A! My exciting life consists of running kids to and from school and therapies....oh, had a dental appt! Mike is just working and working!

Update on Maddie -- Last week she walked up or set of 7 stairs without help and using the railing...I was besides myself....now we just have to work on the aternating her feet...way to go Madison. She finished the county's preschool on 26 March...she brought a feast of jellies to the school to share with her classmates...(such restrictions on what kids can bring these days) She will be starting on 6 April at her new preschool. She has already gotten to meet her new teacher, Mrs D....she will be wearing pull-ups so keep your fingers crossed that by June she is potty trained. She also passed her eval for St Ritas so now we are waiting to hear if she gets accepted into the program for the summer...we are going to see how our school district works with her to determine if she goes there next year or to St Ritas (if accepted)...our trip to CT was canceled on Monday the 30th...Maddie got really sick on Sunday night, her birthday....and is still quite sick....so we will have to reschedule that and it looks like Mike gets to go on that trip, being that I am having surgery in 10 days or so.....

Ok, just typing this all up is making me tired!
