Life Keeps Going

Alex and more Alex.  He is just so cute and so sweet.  He loves to be held – all the time!  He had both his PT and OT evals this week.  He is doing what the normal one month old does.  So glad to hear that.  They both told me, “I’m in your house all the time, I’ll keep an eye on him!”  He’s in good hands.  He also had a swallow study that was a great improvement from the one he had a month ago.  Good boy, Alex!

This blanket is very special.  My mother-in-law sent it to Alex.  Jason’s Grandmother, so Alex’s Great Grandmother, made it and then crocheted it years ago.  Very special!

Jessi was excited because she got invited to go eat crawfish.  Her friend’s Dad was amazed when she dug right in.  Well, yeah, we teach our kids right around here! Smile  Lizzy playing basketball with the neighbors.

Becca went to Lone Star and took the Compass Test. She passed.  According to the community college,  Becca is ready to start college classes.  She is planning on taking two classes this summer.

march 25 037Saturday was Jason’s 42nd birthday!  On Friday we had Outback steaks – yummy!  Then on Saturday he went to see Hunger Games with Sammi and her friend and Becca and her friend. 

Saturday was also the General Young Women Broadcast.  The girls and I enjoyed it.  Kathie and Katie came and joined us.  We passed around Alex and watched the broadcast.  Very fun!

And the most important, ALEX – getting to know him and showing him off!  I have made PT, OT, and ST evals as well as getting him into a pediatric opthamologist and neurosurgeon.

He is the sweetest baby.  He has already grown so much.  And he knows who I am!  I love that!  We just meet and already he knows me.  It makes my heart sing!
