Weekend with Than

Last weekend Tony's brother Than came to visit us. More like visit Tony but we got to enjoy him a little bit too. The Yankees and BYU were in town so they got to go to both games. They lost their voices, got sunburns, and the Yankees lost, but they had a blast together. It is really to bad we live on opposite coasts. We miss him and his family.
I love this pic of Than and Belle. So cute!

Belle's evaluation at Children's was great. She is doing everything she is suppose to be doing. We have a few little things to work on but she is doing so good. She is 4 months today! YEAH!!

Beautiful Belle

I took Belle to her first evaluation the other day. It was at this wonderful place called the Kindering Center. They have a fabulous program for infants and children with special needs. The evaluation was very interesting. They somehow assessed communication, motor, self-help, cognitive and social-emotional development. (I know, bizarre to be able to do this with a 3 1/2 month old) Nonetheless it was an eye opener. She is right where she is suppose to be on all of them except cognitive. They gave some suggestions on what we can be doing and we will be working with an occupational and physical therapist once a month. The best part.....they come to my house. This silly extra chromosome sure makes us look at things in a different light. She is truly our little miracle. We are all still as smitten with her as the day we brought her home. Next week she has a whole other evaluation at Childrens. It is an all day thing 10 to 4. She is a good sport and loves the attention so it shouldn't be to bad. We will see if they say anything different. I'll keep you posted.

First Day of School

The boys have been so excited to start school. I have to for my own reasons. Number one reason... to be back on a schedule. I admit, I'm a freaky schedule girl. It was so nice to have one today. I loved it. What I didn't love was watching my baby go to Kindergarten. I can't believe Tate is in the big K. Another thing to admit, I may have had a few tears as I walked home after dropping him off. I know not a big surprise, I cried with all my boys on their first day of school. But Tate still seems so little to me. It didn't phase any of them that it was the first day today. I am so proud of them. Here they are posing this morning. It looks like I caught them all praying. Monkey see, Monkey do.

But here are Tate's true feelings about today.

A Summer to Remember.....
