School Update: The Thanksgiving Party.
The below Turkey was our Gift from Carter. As you can see he added the eyes and beak all by himself.
The kids enjoy their 'feast'. Mrs. McAtee said that it took them about 1/2 hour for snack time today. The kids enjoyed all of the snacks, for sure. I was able to snap off this one picture, Carter is the Indian not looking at the camera sitting at the corner of the table.
Please continue to check back and enjoy Carter's journey as a junior in preschool! He is making such great progress and we are very proud of him.

The Sleepover.
Carter was invited to spend the night over at his friend Vito's house complete with pizza and the movies Kung Fu Panda and Wall E. I was a bit nervous that he would miss us terribly or wake up in the middle if the night and freak out but apparently he did great.
He was very well behaved, ate a big piece of pizza, enjoyed the movies and went to bed with no problems. He did wake up a few times during the night but Vito's mom reports that he went right back to sleep and slept in until 9:30am! That never happens at home.
It is hard to believe that my baby is old enough to be going for a sleepover already....what a big deal! As we left today Carter thanked Vito and his 'Aunt' Christi for the great time and then told me on the way home that next time Vito would sleep over at our house.

School Update
Below are Carter's crafts of the week. Craft time seems to be his favorite thing to do during class right now...snack time follows at a close second.
What's inside this little pumpkin?
The seeds, of course.

He's Walking, Yes Indeed!
Tomorrow it will be two weeks since Elijah started walking and it is still amazing to see him round a corner or enter a room up on his feet. The change in him has been wonderful.....he chatters a lot more and now with a new found independence he is never without a smile on his face.
Kelly, our occupational therapist, was so pleased with his progress and I can't wait for her to come tomorrow to see how much walking he is doing since her last visit. Kelly and I discussed what course we should take now that Elijah is officially a 'walker' and we decided it was time to transition Eli to a physical therapist. I know that this a wonderful news and is the best for Eli's continued therapy but we will really miss Kelly. She has been just fantastic and a wonderful guide for myself, Brian and especially the boys. So basically what will happen is Elijah will be re-evaluated and then a physical therapist will be assigned to us....provided that the evaluation shows the need to continue on. Kelly will remain on Eli's case until the whole process is finished.
Thank you to everyone for your support and patience. Parenthood, as most of you know, is a crazy journey with many bumps in the road but with those bumps also comes smooth travels and we are happy to have finally hit some smooth road. Having such great family and friends around us makes the trip that much sweeter. Now we enter a world of two young boys running everywhere...........
