Welcome!!!

This is my first blog on here....I actually have a blog on Myspace, but since I don't expect my mom or grandma to have a myspace, I figured I would set up something everyone can enjoy, and I can post pictures on rather than having to email them fifty times. So here's a little update:

Bill and I got back together at the end of March. Things have been up and down (which are to be expected) and lately have been doing really well. Keep praying.

Emily is playing baseball, and has the ability to be a great player once she stands still and focuses for longer than 45 seconds. We need to get out and practice with her more. She will be starting 2nd grade in the fall, and her best friend Abbie is in her class. Abbie's mom is my good friend Jenni, we all go to same church so we see each other all the time.

I was playing softball with Riverside Church (the church Jerrod and Lindsey attend) until I sprained my ankle mid May. Sigh. No more ball for me this year.

Nicholas was diagnosed at the beginning of June as being on the Autism Spectrum......I'm pretty sure they are 'labeling' him as Aspergers. He will be getting extra help next year in school....he will be in 4th grade. Yikes where does the time go??

Jacob has started talking!!! For those of you who haven't heard him yet, he sounds as though he is from Boston when he says certain things like park, and car ;-) His new one is "Supah Tahget!!" (supertarget) hehe He repeats EVERYTHING, and is also reading!! He will start Kindergarten in the fall at Olson. The other kids go to Oak Grove, but there isn't room in the Autism program for him, and they are starting a new class at Olson. Kinda stresses me out, but I know he will be fine.

My nephew Joshua (who I call Scooter and probably will for a long time) had his trach out on May 20th (which coincidentally is the day I hurt myself). He is doing great. He has a new baby sister, Savannah who is SO cute. I *will take pics of her soon, I promise!!
