Went to see Joe play soccer tonite

In case you're wondering Joe is number 18! I thought it was funny when I showed up today, and saw that they are ALL number 18!

Daddy and Courtney, sitting feild side.

Kristen got ticked at something, that's what the tear was from, but was happy once she saw the camera!

It's so cute to see all of the kids out there playing soccer. Or at least trying!

A day at the farm

Today with PALS group, we went to a mushroom farm. The kids thought it was great! although Joe kept saying we were going to the sheep farm! I kept wondering if he thought that the mushrooms may make noise! It was fun and full of excitement. Actually I think that the kids were happy to be away from the classroom and play together at someone's house!

Swimming In April!

Yes, we let our kids swim on our deck today! We filled the pool with warm water though. And they loved it! I can't wait till it's nice and warm everyday to help kill the day with water fun!

Wondering when Joe will move back in!

Joe has now been living in the tent trailer for over a week now! I think it's so cute, how he thinks that this is his little home. I wonder when we actually take it camping how he's going to take us all moving in with him!!

We put all three kids on the trampoline today! They thought it was just great! Joe would jump so that Courtney could bounce a little bit! It's such a blessing to see the three of them playing and enjoying life so much together!

Courtney's first nite in her big girl bed

So after Courtney fell asleep, I did my traditional transfer after sleeping to the big girl/boy bed (depends on who it was...lol) and let them sleep. She may be a little shocked waking up there tomorrow morning, or happy to wake Kristen up to play with her...lol. So we'll see how she does. Well she needs to do well, because she's going to be kicked outta her crib in 6 mths anyways!!...lol.

I had the meeting with Joe's ABA today. And we are going to transfer him to their home program! I'm so excited! Less driving, less stress, more normal like days, more FREEDOM for all of us. They agreed that he's doing well and it may be a better fit to do the home program for all of us...well my family anyways. Another child coming and all of that driving! It's 30 minutes one way! But it was worth it for him to have the help that he's recieved thus far already! So May is his last month there while we arrange to have the new therapists put in place for June!

Joe went to soccer

Joe had his first day of Soccer today! He was so excited when he came home with his new little jersey! I'll post pic's later when I get a chance, that is if I remember...lol. He told me that he kicked the ball. I'll be so excited to see how he grows and develops and starts to get the idea of what it's all about!

Baby Kaden

I have to say that I am very sad to say that another CHERUB has earned their angels wings. Baby Kaden passed in his parents arms yesterday. http://kadenalexkuehl.blogspot.com/ I do not personally know this family, but have been following their blog daily. It's hard to read and hear of these babies passing due to the same condition as my daughter. It's such a hit and miss thing with CDH. Some make it some don't. 50/50! Why??!! That's the worse, no one knows. It doesn't matter of your history, race, culture, if it's a girl or boy. It just strikes whenever it feels that it wants too! My prayers are with Kaden's family.

Please keep the other CHERUB's in your prayers as well. It's not an easy battle for these young children!
