Merry Christmas, Everyone!

It's hailing right now and it is almost May! WHAT?! Boyd ran in from the bus today and said, "Its snowy and Christmas today!"

Walking Daisy

Daisy is now walking everywhere she can and she's just so excited about about every step! She also likes to drag her blanky around the house. Good thing I have two of them!

About Boyd

Today I got a bug to work in the yard again. I went out to do some weeding this morning and then decided to put a new plant or two in some of the containers I had. There were some tomato plants and herb plants on sale at RiteAid. Boyd was so excited to help me plant, he wanted to do every step and then have me take a picture of him with the new plants. While I was weeding a little bit more this afternoon, I found a worm in the dirt and showed it to Boyd. He thought it was so cool, asking all about worms and what they do and eat and where they live. Boyd even named the worm "Bernie." What a silly guy!

I just couldn't be more proud of Boyd, he's been making some awesome progress all around especially in the past few months and he seems to be happier, too. He will be going to a transitional Kindergarten class this fall instead of an Autism class. Basically it is a remedial Kindergarten class that he can learn to integrate into a regular school class later. I also got Boyd signed up for an at home computer preschool program, he started it this week and I love it! He's learning how to read as well as math and science. The kids are supposed to do the program for about 15 minutes a day, but he wants to play it for hours and he seems to be really learning a lot.

I love yard work!

Seriously, I do! It is very satisfying to beautify the yard while soaking up some sun with a nice breeze. And the yard actually stays looking nice for more than 5 minutes. We got a new pretty red lawn mower that Ken got to try out tonight. I just did the weeding in the front yard and kid watching. Lucy and Boyd "helped" for a little while until they were bored. Lucy took a few pictures for fun and fetched Ken a Coke every once in a while. It was just a gorgeous day!

What I found on the camera

Boyd and Lucy are just obsessed with taking pictures. I really just need to get them their own less breakable one. They are pretty funny, though. Homer is still just the best cat. He puts up with kids' weirdness like a champ- he loves it. Lucy's face just keeps cracking me up.

Easter Spastics!

Lucy has been calling baskets "spastics." We had a couple of spastic Easter occasions this weekend starting with the Copier family Easter Egg Hunt. This was the first year Boyd and Lucy really got it, and they had a good ol' time finding their eggs.

Daisy's Game

Daisy is getting really funny. She talks a lot for her age, she surprises me everyday. Yesterday, when Ken was leaving for work, Daisy waived and said, "bye bye Dadda!" She's only 13 months old! She likes to play a hiding game with me and Lucy. She crawls behind the couch and waits for us to find her, then she says, "hey!" and crawls after us. Then she goes back behind the couch to wait for us again. Daisy just laughs hysterically with a big "ha ha haa!" She knows how funny she is.
