(no title)

I haven’t been so good at updating lately, that’s part of the reason I started doing it this way on wordpress.com, hoping that if it were a tiny bit easier maybe I’d do it more.  I bet no one even reads this anymore.  If I were reading it, and I checked for a couple of months and there were no updates, I think I’d quit looking.

Me:  I’m working diligently every month on the Mothers of Multiples newsletter.  I love doing it, I will know when I don’t love it anymore that it’s time to move on.  It’s time consuming but really gives me a great creative outlet.  I love writing, I love designing, I love organizing the stuff on the pages, it’s all great fun for me.   Other than that, keeping up with the housework and laundry, and staying on top of the boys’ therapy schedules and Aliza’s events and things keeps me going day and night.

Mark:  was laid off in November, for those who might not know.  He has had lots of leads, lots of interviews, so undoubtably soon something will actually turn into a job offer.  He will have to start his own blog, I think I’ll suggest that to him.

Aliza:  is a smart, fun kindergartener.  She is reading so well, and participating in SEEKERS, I don’t know what that stands for, but it’s for the advanced kids in the class and they just do some additional learning activities.  Last week they learned about hibernation.  She also still goes to gymnastics and loves that.  I hope to get her back into dancing this summer.  I need to find more summer activities for her too, so she doesn’t get bored hanging around here all the time.

AJ: Is doing so well in therapy and school.  He communicates better and better, although still not talking.  Well, he’ll say “ma”.  That’s about it.  Every once in a while it’ll sound like he said a word, in the middle of all the babbling he does.  But it doesn’t happen consistently enough for me to give him credit for “talking”.

Zack: is also doing great with therapy and school.  Zack can show you his head, his tummy, his nose, and we’re working on his toes.  He can blow kisses and he’s so thrilled with himself when he knows he’s done something right.

Both boys have preschool Monday through Friday mornings, and therapy all afternoon for 5-6 hours a day.  Saturdays mornings therapy is 9-12.  Our boys don’t have a lot of time off, but it turns out they like it that way.  They really do well when they have a rigid schedule maintained, and they know what is going to happen, and when.

Lily:  our new cat is thriving in her new home as well.  She has a shinier coat and is a little chubbier than when we brought her home, leading me to believe she’s living a cat’s dream life.  She is so good with the kids, and only scratches someone once in awhile.  AJ loves her, he laughs and laughs when she runs through the house.

That’s all for now.  Have to go get the kitchen cleaned up so I can trash it again for lunch.
