Ash~has a part time job as a photogropher with lifetouch studios, she is taking a photography class at the local college and she is part time Nanny to Jacob and Hannah. Since I am working nights she watches them while I get some sleep during the day.
Katy~Is on the volleyball team again this year, she is also on the student council and is currently taking driver's ed.
Sarah~is doing an online public school and absolutley loves being a beehive in our church youth group.
Noah~is having a rough time in his current classroom and I am waiting for his annual ARD to get him moved to another program. We found that at night he is helping Jacob become an escape artist. Jacob has been going through a phase where he likes to take all of his close off when he is in bed. We thought we solved this by getting footed jammies that zip up the front, now he just unzips them and takes them off so we started putting them on backwards so he could not reach the zipper. Well several times we have gone in and he is naked again, this was puzzling as his arms are not long enough to reach back there. One night this week Noah was caught red handed helping Jacob unzip the backward facing jammies :/
Jacob~was diagnosed with hypothyroidism three months ago and despite the fact that the meds have brought his blood levels back up, he still gets tired really easy. He loves his homebound teachers and therapists. They are all so excited about his birthday next month. Every year for the past four years they bring him balloons, cake and a present. They are so wonderful and they each mean so much to us.
Hannah~otherwise known as Miss Sassy Pants. She is doing so well but she is in the three year old frame of mind that her way is the only way and you better get out of her way or she will fuss at you. It is really cute when she fuses at Jacob for playing in front of the floor mirror. She thinks it belongs to her and only her.
Mike~is helping care for the kids more since I started work and he is finding out teenage girls can be a bit overwhelming :) So can little girls who like to play with their feeding tubes until they come out during a feeding and soak the bed.
As for me I am working as a pediatric home health nurse. I work 12 hour shifts at night. It is an adjustment in progress for all.
