Day in the Poconos

Last weekend we enjoyed Brian's company picnic at Pocono Valley Resort. We had a great time and enjoyed bouncing, face painting, balloon animals, paddle boats, pony rides, tons of good food and an ice cream bar! We played for hours and left exhausted and happy.
Carter and Daddy paddle boat.
Sweet Elijah.
Having fun in the bounce houses.

Eli rides Coco the miniature horse and loves it.
Fun with the clown. She made balloon animals and did face painting and the boys loved her!

Eli's finished art...a spider web.
Carter partakes in the ice cream bar....Yum-O!
Daddy and the boys explore the lake via a paddle boat.
The highlight of Carter's day was riding in a boat with Alec. I was a bit hesitant but Alec is very responsible and both he and his twin brother really took to Carter, so we allowed him to go and explore with a "big" kid. He returned to the dock smiling from ear to ear and loving life!!













Carter Update

For those of you who are keeping up with Carter's therapy, some big exciting things have happened since his 5th birthday.
First, is that he has been released from the IU-20 program. Mrs. Chiles, his itinerant teacher feels that he has met all the goals put into place for him and there is no need to continue with the program upon entering kindergarten.
Second, is that Carter will enter into a regular school program in September with no special ed put into place! I have had several meetings with the principal, reading specialist and school psychiatrist and even thought there are areas in which Carter shows a delay, there seems to be no reason to not enter into the district in a regular classroom.
Brian, myself and the above mentioned seem to be "on the same page" and feel that once into the school routine Carter will catch up quickly.
Carter continues be very excited for school to start in September. The few trips he has made to Shafer have been very positive and he seems very comfortable there.
Brian and I are very proud of Carter. The last several years have not always been easy but it has been Carter's determination and happy-go-lucky spirit that have gotten us all to this point. Way to go, my little kindergartner!

Water Slide

The boys version of a water slide. They, along with the neighbors, played on the slide and in the pool for most of the day!

Updated Pictures

Last week I posted the boys updated stats after their yearly check ups and here are some new pictures so you can all see how BIG they are getting. Much like summer weeds, they are growing at an amazing pace. (And eating us out of house and home!)
