Lots of Stuff Done!!!

Rorie has a healthy Heart and there are no concerns about Cole's so that is GREAT news!!!! Rorie's ears are good to go and we are still working on finding out what is going on with Cole's ears. I know he can hear but "how well" is the question. His appointment is November 11th. There is a tiny concern with his breathing but right know we are working ears and eyes. Tomorrow is our eye appointment for both kids. I think that is the update on their health.
Fred and I have been praying about finding a bigger house somehow we have out grown the house we had... LOL! We have been working on fixing things up and my hope was to have the house on the market but November 1st but it looks like Fred was right we may not have it ready until late winter early spring. Please keep us in prayer with that situation!!!
On to some fun stuff we went on a Family fun trip to a farm last weekend and we all had such a blast! Family is prolly the BIGGEST blessing God has given me!!!!! Enjoy the Pics!!!!!


Rorie is such a big helper when it comes to her little Brother!!!




She is such a Daddy's girl & he wouldn't have it any other way!!!




Cole LOVED the grass & the leaves so the only pic I could get was up close and personal!!!




Cousins sitting in the pumpkin patch, Rorie loved it can't you tell!!!




Again Cole LOVED the grass so much; but is she a ray of sunshine or what???














You can just see this guy is a stinker... Mac had his Daddy running ALL DAy!!!! I bet he slept good!!! (Mac and Daddy)




Now that is a Super Mom if I ever saw one!!!




Lilly makes a beautiful Sunflower!!!




Have you ever seen a flower wave at you??? You have now!!!

HAs it been that LONG???????

I can't believe how long it has been since I updated, there is sooo much to tell!!!!

School has started and it was a little rocky at first prolly more for Fred and I than the kids. Rorie had a little bit of a shakie time when it was time for us to leave but now she is doing GREAT with saying Good-Bye and knowing that we will be back to get her. I LOVE her teacher and I think I have even made a "Mom Friend". For those of you that know I was very nervous that about meeting other Moms & Dads, in many cases parents already know each other because their children attended birth to 3 programs together and I didn't have that opportunity so I felt a little left out but I think things are going well!!! Rorie is started to say some simple words... "Please", "More", "All Done"... things like that!!! She is also doing GREAT with her other therapies!


Cole is now receiving ALL his therapy at Penfeild Children's Center and I couldn't be happier. I got to meet all the "Ladies in his life" and I really think he is just going to continue to blossom!!! WE are having a hard time with food textures still but little by little he is accepting more and more! We have set some simple goals and I feel like he is making progress!!! He is not crawling yet but he will bare weight which is step one so its good. He is MUCH more vocal about things he wants and he actually wants to explore new toys and new environments!!! I think he is my wallflower, humane contact is still very new and he seems to me to have a "trust" issue. With new people he would rather turn away than give them attention which is the opposite of Rorie. But he make my heart melt and I KNOW he knows me and trusts me and right know that is all that matters!!!!!


AWANA started 4weeks ago already I can't believe, time really does fly! For the most part it has been going well, it's hard without Fred there!!! Rorie really seems to LOVE being a PUGGLE and when we had "Mis-MAtched" Night she won for her class... Cole would have won if he counted but they both looked good!


I'm sure there is a lot I am missing but that is it for now I will leave you with some new pics!!! ENJOY!!!!
