Star Wars Fan!

Alex received the best gift ever! Our friends and neighbors, gave Alex their son Lee's old collection of Star Wars goodies! He has been so happy!!! Including the famous AT-AT, It even managed to make it to the dinner table... it is like a new pet for him!

Spring has arrived!

I took some pictures this morning of our view from our front window. It is quite the site with dozens of birds eating their breakfast. The Cardinals and the woodpeckers fighting over food, and many other birds joining in the fun! Its nice to see spring is here!

 

We had a fun afternoon with the camera.. thought I would share!

 

 

 

 

EVERYONE LOVES A KOOLAID SMILE!!!!!!!!

Well... where to begin... pondering the last week of life.... Our family had a beautiful day. This day was well needed. As Im sure many of you are aware of what has been going on with our little Alex. We found out last Thursday that Alex has been living his entire life so far with an incredible hearing impairment. Apparently in his right ear he has been missing 80% hearing his entire life. While we were at the doctors he was shown an array of various hearing aids, he spotted one that was metallic green... his eyes lite up and was so excited to have it in his color! He has absorbed so much in a short amount of time, and so positive about it! Im so proud of him! We still have more appointments ahead, one with another specialist that will advise us of surgeries to come.... the other to fit his new earpiece! Andrew is getting ready for the long season of baseball, as well as Alex, and Faith starts T Ball. I guess we are finally coming out of hibernation! Then in a couple weeks we get to go to WV to see grandma and grandpa! hopefully fish, and find some Easter eggs! LOve to All!

We had a very excitable Monday, the boys had a playdate with their friends. Meanwhile the girls had fun with Faith trying on vintage costume Jewels! Time just flew by for all of us! Its nice to do that, so we need to make it a ritual when the kids don't have school!

Legoland and Alex

 
There is a very cute story behind this creation of Alex's. Mike and i have been implementing a new reward program with the kids. Ultimately to motivate them to clean as well as a few extra chores around the house. So Andrew got a new cell phone, that needs to have a card to activate it once a month. That is working very well. So Alex once a month receives an allowance to use as he wishes. So on Sunday I took him to Walmart, he had his heart set on a Star Wars lego set. Unfortunately Walmart didn't have any left in his price range. He ended up picking out The Crusty Crab from Spongebob. Hence why he brought it in to show me what he had done, I was so happy to see that he turned it into something that he wanted, and had fun doing it. His imagination is so creative! He is just so excited to see his clones eating a crabby patty!

Reflecting

As many of you all know, I am quite the over-analyzer. I tend to reflect on many situations, and try to solve and analyze life, and try to learn from all ordeals, no matter how big or small.
Well in many different ways I have encountered family problems. I am having a difficult time yet again with trying to understand. Am I alone in believing in truly loving and forgiving relationship, with siblings, parents, cousins??? Why cant people just love eachother for who they are, and not hate for differences. I just sometimes wish for a perfect world. I love each and every member of my family, and if its anything I have learned in my life so far, it is that life is too short for petty garbage, hindering relationships. Ive just been reflecting on life tonight.
Wishing every one felt the way i do! HAHA
So anyway, we got a new couch this week, its super comfy!!

New couch!
