Nine Years Old!!!
Wow Great things are happening. How our boy is growing up! October 30th Andres turned 9 years old. He had a friend over for his birthday for the first time and it all went great. I fretted about it but they had a blast!
Birthday boy and
best friend Calvin!
Cant leave Aaliyah out!
Andres is maturing so much in such a short time. He surprised us this year when we had his IEP the teacher told us he is on the TOP of his class for reading!!! This is the boy that in Oregon was in a self contained classroom. Now in a regular classroom and only gets some resource room help. Our second grader is a master with reading. He struggles with his numbers but you cant master everything :)
He is such a sweet young man. He is actually learning how to regulate his behaviors some by reading or playing with his legos. Yes there's a few bad days here and there but its a difference of night and day from when he first moved from Oregon.
He's going to join a Lego club which is a small group of kids putting Legos together once a week. He is very excited about this.
The day after his birthday we ventured out and went trick or treating...
They reaped the harvest with the candy! Then we went next door the the Neighbors and had a pizza party. They love their cousins!
This year has been a trying one. Started out very sad with mom unexpectedly passing then the Doctors telling us Aaliyah most likely needing brain surgery ASAP.
Finally I can say its all in the past. Surgery is over after a long fight with insurance to approve Milwaukee. Our hearts are healing with mom always on our minds. This side of the year is proving to be much better and happier! Aaliyah survived surgery without any stroke. She continues to heal. School is a huge struggle right now. The doctors hope as she continues to heal and blood flow improves this may improve. Till then school is really good at providing increased assistance for her.
Dan celebrated his 50th in September. We Celebrated our 10th Anniversary October 1st.
Then David and Laura were blessed with a bouncing baby boy October 2nd!!
My baby Nephew!!! Trevor Paul!!
Mom, Dad and Paul are Dancing in Heaven!
