Life away from Home

I really should be more faithful to my blog and dedicated about posting stuff, but I'm not. Because I am just too busy to even get around to it these days. Life has been in the fast lane since we moved to Connecticut. This past year has been quite the challenge for my sweet Adam and my marriage, because of all the stress we have been under. Don't worry though Sean and I are still going strong and Adam is doing better then he was before. I will kind of sum up the past few months in reverse, so bear with me. This past week my poor sweet boy fell off the bottoms of the stairs and broke his clavical. He cried for about an hour in a half and I felt the need to take him to the doctor's and sure enough he had a fractured it. He is doing better, but is still in some pain and that makes it tough. He sure is my little trooper though and is being tough. Also, he has a smile on his face by the end of the day and that lets me know he is surviving.

Sean has been busy with school and has finals this week, so he is super stressed and having to deal with Adam means no sleep for both of us really. Audrey is doing really well and will be starting Pre-K this fall. She will go to school five days a week for half the day and I am a little sad about it. At the same time I am not sure what I am going to do with myself, just having one kid home. I think it will be a time for me to focus on Adam a little bit more and have mommy-son time.

As for me I am working as a Gymnastics coach and helping out with the competitive team, so that has kept me busy. I really am just trying to get by with life right now. It has been all to challenging lately. If it is not one thing it is another thing and it feels like I can't catch a break.

Adam is going to be my child that gives me gray hair, because of all the health issues he has had this past year. We have been in and out of the E.R. several times, had hospital stays, surgeries and numerous doctor visits that I can't even keep track of. He is going to see an Immunologist in about two weeks and we will see how that goes. I will have to blog about his health record later though, because frankly I am tired and need to catch some shut eye. I really hope life can show me a little bit of sunshine soon, because I need some positive rays right about now.

A quick update of our lives

These pics are from last October when we had are last family pics. We are due for some again soon. I will post some more updated photos of kids hopefully next week.

I have a lot of catching up to do with this blogging. I have lots of updates about the kids coming soon and lots of pictures. We are now living in Connecticut!! Anyways, I just wanted to post something for my husband and kids. I love my family dearly!! I am glad that I have them in my life and cannot picture my life without them. I feel so blessed to have such a dedicated husband who is a hard worker, who loves me and understands me for who I am. Lately he gets me presents each holiday and without fail he will get me something from Victoria Secrets Online Catalog, which I think is super sweet. I really like there clothes and think it is even better that they come to me in the mail, so he can't go wrong there. The clothes are always a perfect fit too! It is just nice to know that he thinks of me and remembers how important it is to make me feel special as an individual. Thanks, babe I love you!!

My kids are doing great!! Audrey is still a very spirited young girl and is my little miss sass with spunk. She loves to play with barbies and horses. Lately, she has been interested in watching spiderman which is funny to me because she is such a little princess. She will be five in October and will start Pre-K at the elementary and attend school five days a week, for half the day. It will help prepare her for full day kindergarten the next year. For her fifth birthday she wants to learn to ride a horse, so it will be so fun to see because she loves horse a lot.

Adam is now 20 months old!! I can't believe he is nearly two and how much he is already acting like he is in his terrible two's. He really has such a sweet spirit to him and always gets a smile from anybody he sees. I don't know if it is his contagious smile, or his spiky mohawk hairstyle that gets more attention. He is starting to say lots of words like, hi, hello, bye bye, da da, me me for (mommy). He can also, says turtle, fish, shoes, car, ball, flower, tree and others I can't think of right now. It took him a while to really start speaking a lot, since he had constant ear infections and his hearing was muffled until he got tubes in his ears at the end of December along with his adnoids out. He has had a lot of health problems in the last few months, but has been such a trooper through it all. Just in March he had his tonsils removed and that was such a hard surgery for him to recover from. I love my little man and his cute personality.

As for me I am taking each day one at a time and trying to make it through the challenging times in my life. Connecticut definately has been an adventure so far, because of the all the trials we have been through as a family. I think it has been one of the toughest trials of my life with having a husband in school full time and dealing with a child who has had health problems, which has not given me much sleep at night. Also, being away from home and not having family around has been tough, because I miss them so much! I know I will make it through this and will grow from my trial. Sean has had a rough go as well and I hope he know how much I appreciate him dealing not only with his trials, but for helping me through mine. He is a such a strong person and helps me through the hard times in life. I only hope to do the same for him and be supportive like he has been for me. I love you hun, forever and for always. :)

Anyways, here is some pictures. Hope you enjoy. After this post I may blog about a lot of the past, so I can remember sweet things in life.
