Summer Days

Here we go again...time is going fast and summer is half over.  This has been a wonderful summer for me.  I have enjoyed lots of time with the boys outside and for the first time in my life, there are more plants than weeds in my garden...well, at least at this moment.  Canning season will probably start next week for me and that is usually when it all comes undone.

Benjamin started preschool last week.  It is the next phase of the Early Intervention program that he has participated in since coming home from the hospital.  There are 6 children in the class with 3 teachers/helpers.  All of the children have similar delays with speech and/or motor skills, so they work on those skills as a group.  Benjamin loves it.  He has been doing private speech and physical therapy too and is improving on a regular basis.  In fact, he has met all his speech goals and will be done after just a few more sessions.  

Samuel is 9 1/2 months and started crawling a few weeks ago.  He is into all sorts of things, but he loves to be wherever the people are and wherever his brother is.  He is a content, happy little guy that loves to laugh and chew on whatever he can get his hands on.  I am seeing more of his little personality every day.

 

Brian and I are doing good as well.  We are currently on vacation with his family and having so much fun.  It is amazing how vacations change when you have small children.  Even just sitting in a rental house doing nothing is fun!  Before children that would have made me crazy.  Benjamin and Samuel were able to "go swimming" for the first time and they both loved it.
