    Umm…okay, I’m all for religious freedom and all…but does anyone else find this extremely disturbing?

  • Incredible News


    I received a phone call from Caleb’s occupational therapist yesterday afternoon.  As you know, Caleb is autistic and has been in special education since he was 2.  Well, starting next Monday, he will be in regular classes!!  He’s progressed so rapidly the past few months that they are putting him into regular classes full time!!   *does happy dance*


    This coinciding with his 5th birthday is an awsome milestone for him!  He’s been talking more directly to poeple and his vocabulary has been constantly increasing…which is so wonderful to hear.


    I don’t think that I could have received this news at a better time…and I just had to share it with you all!



  • Last night my youngest daughter, Corin, was in a play at school…Peter and the Wolf.  She was a cat…too darn cute I tell ya!


    She is so tall…she toweres over the rest of the children in her class!   So…my young Cameran Diaz ran around the stage doing her little kitty dance and smiling from ear to ear as my hubby and I watched with the biggest smiles possilbe!


    Kids are great aren’t they?


    So how are you? 


    I went to the doctor on Friday like I’d stated previously, he sent me to an opthamologist (as if I didn’t try to go there first eh?)…who said that I have very dry eyes…which didn’t make a lot of sense with the symptoms that I was having…so, I went into the optometrist the next morning who did a full exam and told me that I have severe allergies and bumps on my pupils, which is what’s causing the pain and discomfort.  Okay…so she gave me a prescription for allergy drops…and those work!


    So my eye is feeling much better now and I got my new prescription for my glasses and life is visible again.


    Thanks for all of the well wishes…you rock!   I will try my best to visit you all soon!  I miss you guys.
