Looking forward to Spring!

This week we have gotten outside and flew kites two times. Ryan's Winnie the Pooh kite flew real good! They loved it! Ryan let the kite go, so I had to jump our fence and run back around with it! We also have started a new speech therapist,so Ryan will be going 2 times a week now, when he is not in school. The boys are doing good in school. I picked Ryan up today, and his teacher said he had his best day today! I felt so happy that she said that. I know Ryan likes going! He carries his backpack around ready to go in the mornings, and follows me around until we go out the door. We have been working on cutting with scissors, and some work sheets his teacher gave us, and he is getting better each time. We are also doing a lot of practice with Steven on his number recognition with games, so that he likes doing it. He gets excited about playing number scavenger hunt, and card games. So we have been real busy at home all the time. I will be glad when we can get outside more, b/c the boys need to burn off some energy. Well I guess I better go. Ryan needs to get ready for bed.

Ryans Birthday...then everyone being SICK

First I want to say how much fun Ryan's birthday was. He had the biggest smile on his face when we sang Happy Birthday! He loves his rock climber he got, and it was nice to have everyone come for the weekend. We all went ice skating which was real fun.
Then we all got sick! Steven was first with the stomach virus, and he got sick more than he ever has! Then a few days later Ryan started, and me in the same day! It was a mess! Chris had to clean up, take care of all of us, and work and go to school. So far he hasn't gotten it! I think he might be safe! Then Steven got ear infection, and 2 days later we were at the Dr. office with Ryan and his ears! First infection since tubes fell out! So that's not looking too good for him w/o tubes in his ears! The boys missed school all week, but are going back tomorrow since they have all their energy back, and able to keep all their food down for 2 days now!
Today we also got some of the food allergy results back on Ryan, and he is allergic to Yeast and Wheat Gluten. The Yeast is the worst, and Wheat not too bad, but we need to take these outta his diet, and see how he does. We are lucky according to the Doctor. It could be worse. I have met people with kids that have allergies to almost everything!
We are going to Memphis for the weekend, and then Nashville on Monday night for our speech class for Ryan. Chris had to go this past Monday by himself since we were all sick! Well I better go for now.
