outside fun

since it was such a warm day we went over to Grandma Hitchcocks house and pulled out the bikes for some fun in the sun...in January

Crystal I noticed is getting a little big for her bike, might need to get a bigger one...they enjoyed being outside again...Jasmine slept in her car seat while her sisters played

New word

The twins have learned a new word this week, not the best word but a new word..

The new word is POOP, and they love to use it....and they do use it in the correct way...

Crystals therapy teacher had a good laugh with this word....but it shows they do listen to what we are saying

Will write a longer update tomorrow night

A good week

It was a short week at school but they were happy to be back...they missed school and sad part is as they get older this will change

Crystal did great sorting colors today, they said this is the longest she has sat to do it...she is growing up...her teacher also stated that she is talking more, I know we have heard some new things at home including I know...we are working on teaching the word "and" so she can make her sentences longer

Courtney loved all the arts and crafts this week, this kid could color all day if you let her...her teachers also have reported that she is using more simple words, she is learning from Crystal...I was able to get her to say apple, two, three and four today, some didnt come out with exact words but close enough

Jasmine loves being the clown of the family....she knows when she isnt suppose to do something, and when you tell her no she will turn around and smile at you....she is always making us laugh with her goofy smile....she is always trying to play with her big sisters even when they dont like it

Everything else is going good...Crystal starts her first OT tomorrow, and combined that with speech, it will be along day for them

New Year

A new year means a new start to the blog...i want to keep it up more this year

The girls are growing and learning more everyday...I cant believe the twins will be 4 in a few months

Crystal is finally putting simple sentences together....now we are able to understand what she wants....

Courtney will be going in , in may to get her trach out....we will try it again and so far everything is looking up for her this time

Jasmine is a active toddler...she looks up to her big sister and follows everything they do

Daddy is doing good and loves seeing/talking with the kids on skype.....the kids call him everyday and talk with him....he has been able to watch them grow up and learn new things...we are counting down the days till we are a family again

Halloween Pictures

Two weeks late but better than never...lol...been busy around here

Finally got interent and cable at the apartment so I should be able to update a little more and also moved all the final boxes into a storage unit over the weekend, so the apartment is finally coming together

Crystal is loving the word no, she uses it alot but she will shake her head yes to some things so it not all bad...she is stubborn when it comes to something she wants, if she asks for something and you tell her no or dont do it she throws a fit...She loved dressing up as Thomas the tank engine and loved telling people she is a train

Courtney was also Thomas the tank engine....she talks alot in school and at home...she loves to talk about her daddy...every airplane is daddy, every picture she draws she wants to mail it daddy...last friday she was in the ER and diagnosed with early stages of pneumonia, but she is doing great and fighting it off here at home

Jasmine has tooth number 7 coming in, the first tooth since July, she waited a long time to push another one through.....She did great for her first trick or treating, she walked up to the doors right behind her big sisters...She was in the ER on saturday for a CT scan, she fell out of the shopping cart and had a bruise that took up her whole forehead, everything came back normal...it hasnt slowed her down

Daddy is doing good...he works the overnight shift and is online most nights to check in with me and check on the kids...the twins love seeing him on webcam
