A little late

No excuses...we've just been plain busy!  First I was going to start back up after 6 months home, then I thought, let's wait until his birthday...then vacation...and that was Memorial Day.  It's now..ahem...the 4th of July?!?!?  What???  Time has flown by!  A friend actually said to me the other day, "Can you believe in 4 months, you guys will have been home for a year?"  No, I absolutely CANNOT believe that!  Where has this year even gone?  Well I'm not sure I can even begin to summarize what we have been doing the last few months, but here it goes...

Our little man is still doing amazing!  Therapy is going great, we did get a brace for his wrist that we try to wear as much as possible, and we are working on AFO's for his feet.  He is speaking more and more English every day, and just loving life!  He is a huge fan of Big Hero 6, so I think we have acquired every.single.item sold related to the movie.  He has also turned into the kid who has a drawer of 30 t shirts, but chooses to wear the same one every day...yes, his Baymax shirt!  Neither of the other kiddos ever had such an obsession with one item of clothing, which can drive me crazy, but deep down inside I think it's cute!  We have discovered he also LOVES swimming and the water.  He could swim all day, everyday I think! 

We had a pretty intimate birthday party this year for him.  We didn't want to overwhelm him, and I think it was for the best.  A few weeks after his birthday, we headed south to a family wedding in New Orleans, but not without a quick stopover in Destin.  SOOOOO glad we decided to be crazies and take the gang to Florida!  They had a blast playing in the ocean, even though it was only for two days!  Can't wait to go back!  The look on their little faces was priceless! 

We went up to Michigan for the 4th, and go to spend time at my parent's cottage.  The kids all loved it, but the little man just couldn't get enough.   He even went tubing for the first time and LOVED it!  He kept saying, "Faster, faster!"  He's my little daredevil for sure!  We have a few more fun things planned for the crew this summer before it's time to head back to school.  The two littles will be off to preschool part-time this year...sniff sniff!  Yes, I will be hysterical I'm sure, but I know they will be loving it! 

We have been so blessed this past year and have so much to be thankful for!
