Corner sitting

Matthew is working hard on head control. One of things we have been working on is corner sitting. Matthew was pretty proficient at this prior to getting sick. We have back tracked a bit, but I've noticed rapid improvement in the last couple of weeks. Here's Matthew working hard!

Still working hard and smiling

Thinking a little harder

Starting to get tired.

We're also ordering a stander for Matthew so we're hoping that we will start to see improvements in Matthew's head control. This would open a whole new world for him!

My studious girl

Megan came to me before Christmas vacation, and said, "Mom I can't see the board sometimes from my seat at school." She sits in the back row, so I didn't think too much about it, but she wanted to go to the eye doctor. We made an appointment, and low and behold she has an astigmatism and is nearsighted. She was so excited to pick out pretty new glasses.
I got the phone call today from the eye doctor that her glasses had come in. When I picked up Megan from school, and drove her to the eye doctor, she literally bounced out of the car and ran to get her glasses. She is loving having glasses. We'll see how long that lasts!
I remember in kindergarten she had a visit with the eye doctor, and she left crying because she wanted glasses so bad and they told her that her vision was perfect. Funny girl.

Naptime

My sweet little boy fell asleep all curled up the other day on my lap

Happy Belated Birthday

To my baby brother, who celebrated a birthday on the 2nd. He's officially a 1/4 of century old.
Happy birthday "Uncle Curty"!!

Happy new year!!

I'm excited to see what this year has in store!

Mason turns 6!

This cute little guy of mine turned 6 today!!

We had respite care today, so we decided to take all of the older kids to the new chipmunks movie. It was really cute! Then we headed off to a little Chinese restaurant nearby for supper. Our kids love Chinese food (well, at least the American version of it)

Micah and Megan enjoying their Chinese. It is VERY cold in our neck of the woods, and I don't think they could keep this little shop warm. They decided to eat with their coats on!

Mason with Uncle Curt who joined us for our Chinese supper and present opening


Mason's cake he picked today

Very pleased with the fact he blew out all the candles in the first try!


Cool game sent to Mason from Grandma and Grandpa

A star wars frog habitat. He'll send away for his tadpole and get to watch it transform into a frog.

Mason's dart shooter. He had a ton of fun with this tonight!
