It's Been a While

So life has pretty much been crazy, and this blog has suffered... Not that I was a regular poster before, it just feels like I haven't been on for a long time. Here is the latest on what has been going on with the fam....
We are anxiously awaiting to hear if Elle will get into any of the Charter Schools that we are in the lottery for... We got a letter from one and we are number 21 on the waiting list... which seems like such a far number but I guess its better than 22 : ) The other schools will do their lottery at the end of February so I guess we will know more then... not that my expectations are high or anything, I'm expecting to be on a lot of waiting lists, hopefully we're a little closer on the other ones but I guess we will just wait and see... Elle has her first loose tooth, it was such a great moment when she realized she had a loose tooth I was talking to my sister and she ran over and was like "Mom I have a loose tooth, I have a loose tooth!!" I looked at it and had her wiggle it and sure enough she did, as soon as I confirmed it she started to do the funniest dance, including her famous "shakies" while saying, "I have a loose tooth I have a loose tooth, I'm getting older" I laughed at the last part because she really does believe that. Her cousin who is a year older than her lost a tooth this past summer and Elle was close to tears saying that she was never going to get older and that she was a baby because she just had baby teeth... I was like slow down child, you're growing up too fast as it is.. but the time has come for this first little bit of verification that our baby in not anywhere near being our baby anymore, she is a beautiful little girl now, who just wants to be bigger.....
Then there is our little man, we are beginning a little trip of our own with him... When Jack turns 3 we will no longer be part of the Early Intervention Program that we have been so lucky to be in. They have provided us with a great PT, OT and Speech Therapist, it has been such a good experience. Now this coming week we will go in and meet with an transition specialist and a representative of the School district. I can't tell you how worried I am about this next part. I feel like I'm totally in the dark, and it just seems crazy to me that we are already here..... I remember our first meeting with this early intervention program, it was right about a week and a half after we had Jack, there was still a lot of emotion right there on the surface. I was in a state of shock not believing that we were having to be a part of this and not wanting to be a part of it and now I don't want to leave.... Hopefully our next journey where ever we may go, will be a good one.
Then there is our sweet Marley, who is such a gift with her mellow personality, she just totally goes with the flow - until she is hungry- but mostly just loves to watch her sister and brother. The way she looks at Jack is something I can't explain. She sees him, just him and she takes it in, and loves it. She is on her way to becoming mobile herself... she gets up on her knees now and is a rocker, so more trouble is on the way.... Hopefully going forward I will be back on sooner but for now this is where we are....
