A whole year has gone by

Wow a whole year gone already. What a year it has been too. Here are some updates:

Tristan: he is getting so big. Big ole 7 year old now. He joined Kung fu last summer and loves it. Moves up to a yellow belt this month. Counseling is good. He's still adjusting to dad living in Oregon now though. Grandpa is still his best friend and he is soooo happy his nana is in town for good now. He is able to tell me when his sensory stuff is needed and he is an amazing big brother. He's got his first TWO loose teeth and I think I'm more excited than him lol. School is great. Reading really well and reading everything! Math is his strong suite though just like his mama.

Brayden: he is getting big too. Two more months and he will be 2 years old. Still struggling with his asthma and now he's got developmental delays that we are working on. He goes to progress center for speech an occupational therapy. They are thinking oral sensory issues and his hearing loss is affecting his speech. Voice recognition is 35 in one ear and 45 in the other. The normal range is 25. We are being referred to get a swallow study done. He aspirates when he drinks and is super picky about food. It's hard To say what's causing  it so they wanna rule everything out. Rather find out now then later. He's got so much personality and is pretty much the cutest baby ever. 

Me: I am doing very well. I got a full time position with the city of kalama. Great pay, awesome hours, and amazing benefits. I'm the utility clerk so I bill all water sewer and garbage. I'm still an employee at Office Depot too but only on call and every other weekend. It's nice to know my schooling wasn't for nothing. I'm proud of how far I have come in the past few years. Amazing kids, amazing job, amazing life for now. 

All in all things are going good for this family. Crazy as my little family is...things are finally starting to fall into place. :)
