been a tad busy around here.
UPDATES:
At this point, most of you know that I started my new job at the Coatesville Area School Disctrict this past August. I am the new Elementary Spec. Ed. Supervisor. While I was sad to leave Penn-Delco because of friends and some very cool students, this new position allows me to work in the district in which I live, is a 5 minute drive as opposed to 50 minutes, and I am closer to Alex during the day. Each day brings me new adventures and mysteries to solve, so things are great!
Scott is back in school now- he is getting into the swing of things between the schedule and new batch of interesting students. On the home front, he is just finishing up our paver walkway out front. It looks fantastic! <-- Also, a big thank you to Kraig K. for coming out last weekend to help Scott get a jump on the project. We really appreciate it :)
As for the most important person- Alex is wonderful! We decided not to have him attend the day care in Scott's building for various reasons, so he now spends 4 days with Andrea C. and the darling Sophia, out in beautiful, hoppin' Atglen. On Wednesdays he is still receiving his early intervention therapies at home. All of his therapists continue to be amazed with his progress, which, of course, thrills us. He is starting to say a few more words so we are pushing that as much as possible. To us, that seems to be the most important gain- language aquisition.
He is doing great sleeping and the eating has been pretty good as well. Recently we went out and got some new shows. His feet have grown 2 1/2 sizes since May and his height is shooting up! Looking back at pictures from then, I can't believe it is the same child!!! We are blessed :)
PICTURES:
I know several of you have been using the convertible picture as your desktop (myself included), so here are some more for you to view-

The first takes place on race day...Daddy and Alex were watching TV.
The next shot is Alex playing with the grocery cart....mostly he just enjoys chasing Chloe mercilessly with it, so here's a "before" shot!

Chloe and Alex have this love-hate thing going on.....one minute they are at odds and
then the next

as you can see in the pictures below and to your right. There's nothing like a boy and his dog!
