Catch up...

Alright! its been a while. This is gonna be a catch up on what has been going on with us.

First of all, William is going back to school (yay!) starting April 1st. He will be doing prereques for chiropractic college. So two years here at SCC then we move to California for about 3 years so he can do chiropractic schooling. Long road but so totally worth it. Then, when he is done we will most likely move back to Spokane.

Spencer is getting so intelligent. We did have an evaluation done on him to see if there was anything missing. We had a feeling that there was because there are some things he is just behind on compared to other four year olds. We found that he his slightly autistic. Which affects his potty training and other social issues like talking and interaction. Still have a few tests and evaluations to do. But its nice to have an answer to my thoughts and to who Spencer is. He loves thomas the train. whenever we drive around town he is always looking for trains and callig them the various train names from thomas. He knows his alphabet, he recognizes them in upper and lower case and in sign language. Yes, i do teach my children a few signs, its good for them and makes things easier especially, for Ashleigh.

 Ashleigh is getting so big. She keeps blowing my mind away. She says so many words. Her favorite food is bananas. She asks for them all the time whether we have them or not. She also has been telling me when she is hungry but, that's almost constantly as well. She is climbing and exploring and having fun being one. She was allowed to go to nursery a couple months ahead of the usual cause we were constantly in the halls and also easier if before the seperation anxiety sets in. She loves nursery.  She has discovered baby dolls and pushing them around in the doll stroller. She loves to give kisses, she will do the fishy face to give kisses, so cute! Wish i could post a picture of it.

I havr been going through a lot. Been struggling with some post pardum deppression. I am not on meds, i have been trying to find other ways to cope, usually getting out of the house helps. Been working on my driving lots, im planning on taking my test soon, but we now have to go through a third party to do the actual test instead of at the DMV, costs about $150 more now. So lame. But, im gonna do it! One of my biggest challenges for years. Also, i have been in a decorating mood. Been getting pictures and making things to hang on my walls. My kids finally have decorations on their walls! Next project is our bedroom, so much to do! I find it to be our catching place, everything ends up there. So glad things are progressing for us finally, been hard pressing William to move forward, the more i try to help he digs his heels in.

We are so excited for this summer, get go to family reunion and will have most if not all my siblings there. Lots of things shooting for us now.
