Adventures Await

Wow! it has almost been a month since a post!!!! We have been busy and just needed to take a break from our busy schedule. After my trip to NJ I came home to being much appreciated. Cameron did a terrific job while I was away. I know my girls are loved!!! I do have a new dryer and a new blackberry that I am still learning how to use with all of its great features. Cameron insisted on the new phone with the calendar and contact lists etc... So I am using it all!!!! Carley is doing fine and gearing up for a new Disney adventure with her cousin Cody. She had a cold the week after I returned and we stayed home a couple of days to get well and let me regroup. Some times it is just plain hard to do what we do everyday. it is not fun to have an appointment almost nearly everyday!!!! I know it is life, but still hard sometimes. Caroline is well and learning to sign little by little. She is funny to watch and tries to imitate us. I am pretty sure she understands, but those little hands have trouble forming the detailed signs. Tuesday she is starting Occupational Therapy in home - yeah!!! Just so you all know I have not been totally hiding out in a cave for a month , I also have been computer less for over a week. It was hard, but good to have a forced break form the computer. Cameron is staying busy at work and is also looking forward to our Disney trip. Caroline and Lucy will be at home with MIMI.
My new adventure includes starting the teacher certification process in Fl to teach. I will have a current license by next January. I have 3 tests to take and pass. I will take the first test in April. I do not plan to go back to teach next year, but want to keep my license current for anything that could happen. I also am working on getting an Infant Toddler Developmental Specialist certification which will allow me to work part time with other delayed children and children with special needs and their families a couple hours a week. My goal is to have that certification by next fall. Carley will be attending her pre-school 5 days a week and Caroline will attend MMO on Wednesdays while I try working on Wednesdays a couple of hours. I am excited and wondering what God has in store for us as we embark on new adventures.
Caroline will stay in her Early Steps Program until close to three years before we transition her to a special needs school program. She is also awaiting her stander. We will be changing health insurance and ordering the stander again in March. We hope this will allow her to stand and walk someday!!!!! She is still very weak in her upper body and has regressed in her desire to roll and push up on her hands. Please pray her muscle tone will increase. we also will be getting an MRI in the next month or so to check on brain development and any possible seizure activity. Keep us on your mind and pray for daily strength and encouragement!!!!
