October is almost over!

This month is finally over! It has been a long one. Michael has been sick a lot and also started ABA therapy (25 hours a week), Ken has been working 2 jobs (almost 70 hours a week), I am have been dealing with my own health issues as well and we also had to some unexpected car issues (470 $ worth). I have also been reminded of how lucky I am to have so many people that love and care for my kids. With all that has gone on this month I have had to have lots of help for loads of people many of them are not related to me by blood but I consider to be part of my family. It fills my heart with such joy when I see my kids with all those amazing people that have welcomed them into their hearts. We also took some family photos with Grandma that turned out great and I am so happy to have them.

But there were many many good things as well MOST importantly Michael turned 2 years old!

It feels like he has been here a lot longer than 2 years! So much has happened in that amount of time. I am I truly luck to be his mommy. His birthday was perfect and there were so many people around him that love him so much. He is changing so fast and improving so much with his speech. He makes animal sounds now and loves singing. His favorite song is The wheels on the bus. His Favorite book is The truck book. This favorite toy is either a car or a ball and his favorite word is MOMMY!

Kaylee has had a great month at school. She is learning so much and is growing up so fast. Just listening to her talk takes my breath away. It is so hard for me to believe that she is only 4 years old. The one thing that I am so jealous of is how she prays and just talks to God! She says God is inside me and with me forever! She reminds me of it too when I am sad she tells me to talk to God about it!
The best part is that she is asking how to spell everything that she can think of and she is starting to spell things back.

This month/year has been the hardest on Ken and I as well. Ken and I are BEST FRIENDS and this year has gotten in the way. I think that for me the hardest part is that we don't get a chance to hang out and have fun and be ourselves. I think that this month we only got the 2 days in Disneyland to be our old-selves with the kids and I loved every minute of it. this month it has been 17 years since our first day (that is almost a half of a lifetime together). I know that it is just this hard time for what will really turn out to be a short time out of our lifetime together but it is still super hard. I know that we can work through it.
