It has been awhile

I know it has been a while since I have last wrote. Lisa is now 20 months old. She is doing great with walking and is saying new words everyday. Her newest word is "Husssshhh" when we read her " Good Night Moon". Even though the last few days she has fussed a little before story time. As soon as Brian starts reading she calms down. She has been having troubles with her lack of depth perception. Running into things, falling, or reaching for objects that are a few inches away. I have discussed this with her case worker from Birth to 3. Lisa will be having a visual evaluation done soon. I was very unhappy that her doctor just wanted to watch and see if it got worse. I guess I will have to do the work to get her what she needs. Can't wait for them to get off of their a**. But other than that little bump in the road Lisa is doing great.

Ana has recently been diagnosed with ADHD and Anxiety. After having troubles with her the last two years and no cooperation from the school. I had her evaluated on my own. I have lived with having ADHD my whole life. I wish my mom would have been more proactive with me and got me the help I needed when I was in grade school. I want Ana to be able to do what ever she chooses to do with her life and not be held back by this. I know how hard it was for me not being able to concentrate enough to even remember what someone had said to me just second earlier. It is not that I did not want to listen, I really tried. Ana has decided she wants to be a Geologist when she grows up. I am so proud of her. We went to Borders tonight and I picked up a couple of books for her first one was on Gems and the other on Minerals. She keeps her favorite rocks in her room on a shelf and the rest are outside in a bag. Pretty soon that bag is going to be completely full. LOL.

Brian is busy juggling between work and family. I try to make it a little easier on him by making sure all of everything else is taken care of. That way he has a few hours of relaxing with the girls or playing video games. He does so much for the family that is the least I can do. Brian is such a great husband and loving father. The last few months that I have been sick and in and out of the doctors office. Brian has been there for me the whole time. Taking care of the house and kids for a week so I could get over dehydration. I am the luckiest person on earth.

As for me I am volunteering with Girl Scouts again this year and enjoying every minute. I have 11 girls in my troop this year. All have different personalities and a joy to be with. We recently went on a camp out at Camp Nawakwa in Cornell, WI. All of the girls got along great and we had a blast. They built a fire, cook dinner, made smores, made necklaces, had a puppet show, went on a nature hike, had a talent show, and did the ropes course. Wow that was a lot just for an overnight stay. In the next month, I have planned for them to tour Cold Stone Creamery. They will be able to make their own sundaes. Mmmmmm. Also a representative from RCU Bank will be coming to talk to them about finances. Who doesn't like money and a Halloween party. All of the girls are excited to show off their costumes. I can't wait to see them. It is going to be a great year.
