Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!!!

And that's exactly what it's been doing!  SNOWING!!!  I admit I like the snow when I have no where in particular to be, but seriously this is enough for now.  If it keeps going how it's been its going to be one long winter.  Hopefully I can post pictures this week.

Jack had his speech evaluation this past Tuesday.  The news is that he needs speech therapy.  Since he's just barely two she still had to use the 2-3 year old evaluation, so her diagnosis is moderate-severe speech delay, but because he's just barely two then she said it's moderate (plus for insurance purposes she put the moderate-severe).  The speech therapist wants Dean and I to teach him to sign, since he can't even communicate well with us by gesturing.  I'd taught him to sign earlier in the year, so it wasn't too difficult.  He's doing great with it and is now signing and saying what he wants.  There's a lot less whining going on over here!  He is talking some, just not the amount of words they think he should have, but he's getting there.  He's been going to church and going in the nursery, so he's been loving that too!

Soon (not sure exactly when right now) we'll be leaving for Californina for Christmas.  Seems weird we're leaving our white snowy house for the sunshine (ok, maybe that doesn't seem weird) for Christmas.  We're taking Jack and Jillian to Disneyland for the first time!  I'm so excited, although Dean is not.

If I don't get a blog post in before then, hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

What a week!

What a week this past week has been and the snow hasn't helped!  :)

First, I had my finals this past week.  Just one more tomorrow and I'm done for the semester.  It was Dean's last week of classes last week and his finals are this up coming week.  Then we'll be done for the semester.  Yay!

Jack had his well child check-up this past Tuesday.  All is well.  The Dr. said he's tall and slim.  He's 36.38 inches and 27 pounds.  Also, Jack gets to go to speech therapy.  He babbles a lot, but he doesn't really say any words that we can understand and definitely doesn't say anywhere near the amount of words he should be by now.  The Dr. is just sending him so he has a head start.  He had a hearing test last week to make sure he didn't have a hearing problem (he doesn't, thank goodness) and his speech evaluation is on Tuesday afternoon.  Dean and I are hoping this helps him a lot, since we know he's getting frustrated with us, since we can't understand anything he's trying to tell us.

Jillian is just fine too.  She's growing like a weed, which is good.  She's getting older fast!  She'll be 6 weeks tomorrow!  Kind of hard to believe she's been here 6 weeks already!
