I guess I will start this.

I love reading everyone's blogs so I thought I would finally get my butt in gear and start one with an update of our family.

Mark just started a new job with the Terre Haute City Police. So far he is really enjoying it. We have enjoyed it so far because he is home on the weekends while in training. This has not happened in four years.

I have just completed my first semester teacher special needs preschool. I am really loving it. I do have to admit that I miss my students after not seeing them for over two weeks.

Faith is doing well. I think she is getting too comfortable with me being on winter break. She will start her preschool again in January. She is doing very well with here goals. We are going to have a conference in January to rewrite some of here IEP goals because she has achieved two ofher speech goals!! For those of you who don't know already Faith was diagnosed with PDD (on the Austim spectrum) in October. We are learning new skills to work with her everyday. It does help that have a lot of resources at my fingertips. Faith is in tumbling class and loves every bit of it. I have to admit I really look forward to tumbling as well. THe foam pit is awsome. She is learning how to play with Will a little better so that helps a lot.

Will is a little monkey. He is now 14 months old and climbs on anything that he can put his finger tips on. He loves to run after Faith and tackle her. If you get him to slow down he will tell you lots of stories but you have to figure out which language it is in. We did have a little scare with him last week. He was to have a minor surgery to put tubes in his ears but they canceled the surgery because his feet, hands and mouth were turning blue. So after a day at Payton Mannings Children's Hospital they have decided that he has an imature vascular system. Thanks Uncle Jim for your help. They told us this is nothing to worry about and he should out grow this.

I am really bad at taking pictures so I will try to get some posted sometime soon so that you can see our beautiful children.
