Take my Breath Away

So strange today. I walked outside from school - this afternoon - adn it was like the wind was knocked out of me. A feeling. A Grace moment. It was just so weird - how it came over me the way it did. I don't know if it was the weather, beautiful weather, and it was bringing back memories...or if she just wanted to say Hi...but it was the strangest feeling. A new feeling I had never had before. Love this picture of her. It's so funny. And those were some cheeks - people always think Camden has cheeks - check those out! :) She was 8 months old in that picture.

Camden is a hoot! We went bowling with mom and some people from her work...he was in no way shy or reserved. So cute! He definitely gets his patience and frustration level from me. I see that very quickly. It could be scary in the years to come ;)

The Amazing Chewbaca

Can I just say I have the 2 two most amazing children ever! Camden had to go today and get molds made of his ears for his ear plugs. He did an awesome job!!! He was a bit fidgety but once she started he sat absolutely still. She put in a barrier and then squirted the silicon stuff in it and he just sat there. She was very impressed by him! His second ear he did get a bit more fidgety but was still awesome!! Grace would be so proud of him - after all the messing with and handling she had to go through - he did a good job!! He'll have the surgery next Monday, March 2nd. Right before big sis's 5th birthday.

Now this video clip - is his latest sound...reminds me of chewbaca. I don't know where he learned it or how he does it. Too funny!

Ear tubes here we come!

Yep. It's official. We went to the doctor today. He has fluid in his years and significant hearing loss. We are assuming/hoping that once the tubes are in the hearing will be restored. That it is the fluid that is causing the problem. So I'm not crazy about his speech. It could very well be delayed b/c of his hearing loss b/c of the fluid. I am crazy, not denying that....But hopefully once the tubes are in he'll be able to hear and his speech will catch up. We know he'll be a talker - he babbles all the time - and he comes from a family of talkers, so... They will also be removing his adenoids. He has had problems with congestion ever since he was born. He breaths a lot through his mouth, and a hard breathing and snores sometimes at night. So, all that together means adenoids out. We're waiting for the scheduler to call and schedule but we are anxious to get it done so the poor boy can hear!! And just to get it over b/c I will be very anxious until it's all done and he's back in my arms :) That's the latest from here!

Flying By!

Man oh man is this year just flying by!!! I can't believe it's the middle of February already!!

Let's see....Camden is on his 3rd ear infection since the end of December, so Monday we are off to the ENT. We'll see what happens. He also had pink eye this time around. Didn't slow him down much. :) He also finished his 1st round of swimming lessons. He wasn't very interested in trying to kick or blow bubbles in the water...but did like the girls in bathing suits. He is his daddy's son. He weighs in at close to 30 pounds and is the happiest most active child I've ever seen. We are so blessed!!

Keven has started back to school. He is taking 1 class this semester - Business Law. So far, so good. Lots of reading. He is also going to start training again for the Capital 10,000.

I am just working and taking care of the house. I'm in San Antonio right now because of the annual Music Educator convention. It as fun to come after so many years. Got some useful stuff and had a good time. Now it looks like the next 4-6 weeks are pretty busy. Fun, but busy. Hope everyone is doing well!
