shopping and playing

Angela, Sara and I went shopping today. I was trying to find a new dress for my anniversary date with Jeremiah Saturday afternoon and evening! We went to Marice's, then to Grandma Letha's house for a break and a search for jewelry. After that we went to Wal-mart. Then we went to have a little fun at the water park, Sara loved it!!! This all happened after I had already went to town and did my grocery shopping. Talk about a busy day. I hope that you all are enjoying the beginning of summer!

Here we go again!

I would really like to give this blog thing one last shot. Maybe use it as a type of therapy to show what we all go through in this little family of mine! I know that no one has it easy these days, but me being me, I always look on the positive side of things so maybe it will make someone else feel better and that their lives aren't so bad. On the other hand maybe you have came to this blog to see what it is like to have two disabled children, to home school, to live a simple life (as much as possible), a Christian life (however, we aren't perfect), to see how a family like ours functions with everything that goes on. So here we go!!!!!

Summer is here, Sara is out of school!

I'm sorry again that it has been so long! I thought that I would do this post about Miss Sara. She is out of school for the summer and she will be in Kindergarten this coming fall. I can't believe it! I have added pictures of her and what the teachers do when they come over.

I know that I say she is in school but not everyone will know what that means. They come in and wash their hand. To start with her they put lotion on her little body starting at the feet working their way up. Each body part gets rubbed 5 times. We hold our hand up to her counting each time.

Then we move to putting on clothes and socks. After we brush her teeth and hair. At this point she is ready for the day. They work on a number of things with her. Things like independence, anticipation, self-awareness, making sounds, turn taking, self-care, feeding and acceptance of new textures in her mouth.

I'm sure that there are things that I'm forgetting. She has made great strides this year. As I said there are pictures on here that shows all of it. When I said that she is going to be in kindergarten that doesn't mean that she is going in to school. Her immune system still isn't good and we are still taking measures to insure the best things are done to help her stay healthy and happy.

I was going to make this post all about Sara. However, Tyler is out of school but we are going to be working on math this summer. We are also adding in music for him. I love playing and singing. So he is going to learn the clarinet and lap harp. I will also be giving him lessons in singing.

If he is good, I will let him take lessons from someone else to learn the guitar this fall. I'm sure that we are going to have a blast. Say a prayer for me!!! Well have a safe and happy summer!
