The semester is over!!!

I'm done for the spring semester!  It's finally over!  I'm looking forward to my break between semesters and spending some (much needed) quality time with the kids.  They were good sports this semester, as Dean and I had 5 hard classes.  I just had to write about it and scream "whoo hoo!!!!"

I'm the worst blogger!!

I know I've been awful at updating this blog.  I've just been very busy with being in school full time and running around after 2 kids, not to forget also having to take Jack to his therapy.  So, here are some updates and I'll post a few pics.

Jack is in speech therapy and doing well.  He's speaking a little more and a little better, and also signing a lot better so we can communicate with him.  He also gets to go to group therapy and learn how to interact with other kids and they have fun.  That has been a huge improvement as well.  Next week he starts behavioral therapy to work on his behavior (not that it's particularly bad, but he is two and does have communication delay, so he gets frustrated easily).  The therapy is nice and teaches me how to work with him, so it's reall focused on the parents. He's just as active and fun as ever!!!

Jillian is almost 6 months old.  I can't believe it!  The time has gone by so fast!  She's doing a lot of fun stuff like rolling over, laughing, smiling and almost getting up on all fours.  She moves herself around quite well on the floor.  She also has been getting solids.  Her dr. told me to start her out on them at 4 months since she isn't gaining enough weight (she went from the 22% to the 11% in 2 months, but she also has reflux and throws up all the time).  She loves her cereal!  She's also getting fruits and veggies too and loves those as well!!!  She adores her big brother too and Jack is getting used to her more and more as well.  I don't think he likes the fact she's invaded his space and sometimes Mommy, Daddy and Grandma hold her as well, but he's getting better.

As for Dean and I, this is the last week of the semester and finals are next week.  Fortunately we only have one instructor who actually is making us take a final.  Then we get a week off and summer semester starts.  Summer shouldn't be nearly as hectic for me, as I'm only taking 2 classes (the second half of the Anatomy & Physiology class and also Pathophysiology) as opposed to the 5 we have this semester, but Dean has 5 as well this summer. 

That's about it for us.  We're quite boring, but that's the way I like it.  Here are  few pictures of the kids at Easter.  Please ignore the fact Jack needs his mouth wiped off.  I was doing a million things at once and I forgot.  Usually I'm pretty good about it.  Oh well.
