Blog Worthy?

Hello fellow bloggers! I promise that in the next few days I will have something on here worth seeing and hopefully worth reading. I can't seem to get into the groove of blogging these days with my new little one keeping me on my toes. Katy starts K-4 on the 20th for 3 days a week. I am torn between excitement and sadness for my "baby" will no longer be with me everyday as she has been since birth. I know it will be a wonderful experience for her both socially and educationally. We did a lot of research on this school and we know another couple in our church who have their kids there. It is a large Baptist school in town and so far we like what we see. So...when she starts school next week maybe I will have time to upload some new pictures of her and Kyle. For now...well...just a short update. We will also be starting some speech therapy with her that has been ordered by her doctor. I am not sure how often or to what extent,but we will be getting her speech evaluated at our local public school to find out. Her doctor says that he can understand about 85% of what she says and that for a four year old he should be able to understand 100%. I of course, being her momma, understand everything. We were hoping she would grow out of it but she hasn't so far. Her doctor says that usually the therapy is more effective the earlier that it is started. She has trouble saying her Y's, S's, and L's among other things. For example she pronounces "They" as "Say" and "yes" as "less", "snake" as "nake", "School" as "Cool" and so on...you get the picture. Please pray for us as we start out on this new adventure.
Please remember me in your prayers for a physical touch. I am still having some very annoying and painful problems associated with being pregnant and having the baby. You know what I mean there ladies? Well if ya don't then oh well...pray for me anyway that I will get better and not have to end up having surgery(which is what I have been told that I will have to do by my MD and several other people)I promise pictures next week. Until then........tootles!

liz,

Hunter who is 5, just started Kindergarten last week. He also went through speech therapy, through the public school he now attends. He did great. He no longer requires it. I think they learn alot in that 5th year. Our therapist said that many of the words that are pronounced incorrectly will work themselves out in kindergarten. Alot of the mispronounced words will correct themselves with time. Hunter still has concerns with some words, but the exposure to "school" where he had the therapy was a great thing. He is doing well in school. We were worried, he is very "baby-ish". But we feel blessed that he is doing so well. Call me if you want to talk sometime. 251-591-3384. I love you!

As you know Collin also did speech therapy through the public school system here. I highly recommend it.
Sorry you're having so many health issues. We will keep you in our prayers.
You better get those pictures up soon.
