Family To-Dos

Boy, it's a Saturday and we are feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the spring to-dos. The list includes making our yard presentable after having a few trees bite the dust during last year's hot summer and shopping for a new car since Chris' Jag needs an investment about equal to its worth.

Mitchell's schedule of appointments keeps us busy too. We are still working on his feeding. A FEES test that will put a camera down his nose to watch his swallowing in action is next on our list. He's also waiting to get into regular speech therapy at Cincinnati Children's Hospital. We are excited that he is occasionally rolling over by himself and his neck strength and ability to push up is improving. Best of all, he seems to be interacting and aware of his surroundings more.

Luke's our steady and we appreciate every joy he gives us. He is playing a lot of base-eh-ball (Luke says baseball with 3 syllables, more like bas-ket-ball). His weekend to-do list includes a trip to the mall where he has a routine he directs us through, from eating at the food court, visiting "Pop-Pop" at Dillards, playing on the big beanbags for sale, going up and down the escalator and throwing coins into the fountain.

Chris visited with his Navy buddies in Reno last weekend and had a great time. The boys were thrilled when he returned. Although life is frantic most times, Mitchell has been regularly sleeping 7 hours at a stretch at night. We sleep when he sleeps. So, although our plates are full, we keep commenting on how much easier it is to tackle things when we've had rest.

Wishing good slumber to all!
