After the storm

We have had a busy, eventful, and draining past week. Here are the girls "camping out" today after supper. This really is the first full day after this past week we have all been together in the same house.

Yesterday, after I got Austin and Abby back from my parents house (they have been there since wed.) they both fell asleep in the living room. I can't really blame them, I felt like this many days during my recovery!

These rainbow pictures were taken on Saturday after the storms came through!

My nephew Jackson, I guess he couldn't find anyone to read his Thomas book to him, so he quietly climbed up in Austin's high chair all by himself and started to read to himself...priceless!

We are having fun

Since my surgical procedure Abby and Austin have been spending time at my parents house and their cousins came into town this weekend!

Here is Austin playing his beloved keyboard, this is what really gets him going!

We took the kids to see Ocean's and they got a little board with the movie, this was in the bathroom at the mall!

The kids papa is working on a play house outside for the girls. This is a big project, but they are having fun doing it! Have a great weekend everyone!

Never a dull moment at our house...

This week is going to be a very busy week. I want to take a minute to write about last week for Austin's therapy. On Wednesday we have physical therapy for him. He spent the entire hour standing/ practicing walking. He walks supported by a device that suspends him over a treadmill. He did fantastic walking his feet on that. Then after that she put in a light gate (something he can walk with, kinda like a kids walker or practice supported standing by him self). He did great and didn't complain the entire hour. If you can imagine being a six yr old who has low muscle tone and doesn't stand on his own, this is a lot of work. I was very proud of him and next time I will have to bring my camera to share the pics on here.

This week, we are celebrating the life of my parents foster child who went to heaven this past weekend. Please keep them, the foster agency staff, and the nurses and Dr.'s that worked with this child all in your prayers. Also I will be having a procedure done this week, so I am thinking happy thoughts for a fast recovery from that so we can get back in the swing of things here with the kids. I love that this weather feels like spring and we are enjoying ever minute of it and hope that your are too.

Mom this one's for you!

If you are wondering how busy Austin is or how much he gets around with his abilities, he is trying to get up the stairs at Easter.

My mom bought the girls some dress up accessories, I think they enjoy them!

We've been busy

I think we recovered well from our 3 different houses we went to on Easter weekend. This past weekend Abby and Austin got to go visit with their dad, it's been a long time since they have been able to go. He started a new job and I guess that has set him back from seeing them. I think they had a great time. Sierra was in Springfield at a 2nd cousins first communion with her mamaw's family. She had a good time as well. This week we are busy with school, gymnastics, and therapy. The girls have improved a lot in gymnastics and they both love it. At the end of May they are putting on a mini meet for us, should be cute. Austin is doing awesome! He is staying healthy and his stool is moving. We are just hoping and praying he continues to stay healthy! Bill played his first round of golf this weekend in 7 yrs. I think he really enjoyed getting back out there. I was able to work on cleaning at the house because the kids were gone. I am hope everyone out there is doing good and enjoying this awesome weather! GO CARDS!!!

Our wonderful Easter weekend
