Still here!!

I didn't realize how long it has been since I have written. We are staying busy. The kids finished their first year of Pre-School. They had a great year and I couldn't be happier on how much they have grown. They are growing up so fast and I love watching them turn into little people. Maddie has grown so much. She talks all the time now and is coming out of her shell a little bit at a time. She loved school and hated to miss it. She would talk about it non stop and always ask about Brody which was a little boy in her class. She had surgery in April for her Tonsils, Adenoids taken out and tubes put in. She did great with it and was back to herself shortly. She also got diagnosed with a very mild case of Cerebral Palsy. It only affects her left side and she has to wear a leg brace now. She is also back in glasses and looks so cute in them. Preston I don't even know where to start. He is an awesome little boy. He is pretty much crawling every where now. It is more like a bunny hop but he gets where he is going. He is starting to says words when he wants to but is also starting to sign a little more. Pam his one on one aide was awesome. This was her first year of working with a special needs child and I was a little scared when we met her last summer. I was scared that she wouldn't be able to handle Preston or how they would work together. They clicked right away and she did more then what we expected. She is what he needed. She always did what we asked and was very good at keeping me informed on what was going on with him daily. I liked that alot since he can't tell me what happened. He has been doing really well but he did just have a 3 night hospital stay this last week. He had a really bad ear infection or something. So he was put on iv antibiotics and steroids through the IV. This was after other antibiotics was not helping and he had some signs of a serious infection. He is doing better now. Gabe is doing great also and just spent 4 nights in Florida with Scott's family. He had a blast. Scott got a new job and it is here in town. It is like 5 minutes down the street if that. He works 3 days one week and 4 days the next 12 hour days. It was hard on us to get use to it but starting to like it better. I haven't changed just taking care of the kids and working as much as I can. Will have to post pictures soon.
