February flew by so fast but I still can't believe it's already March. So much went on in that month too. I had a lot of doctor visits and Michael started OT. We even managed to take a small family vacation on top of it all. All in all it was a good month and I had a little fun for the first time in a long time. Maybe life is going to be a lot less stressful. One of the biggest helps is that I found a great therapist to work with and I made it happen. Therapy helps me so much.
Snow Trip
The trip to the snow was amazing and went much better than I thought it would. What made it even better is we went with anther family so the kids had play mates. Kaylee said thank you so many times I lost count. It was so nice to have a break from our day to day life. The kids played in the snow much longer than i thought they would.

I am so happy that we took this trip and even more happy at how well Michael handled the change. It gives me hope and makes me want to try and go camping this spring and summer! Anyways I hope that this is a start of a new tradition for both of our families. All 4 of the kids had a blast and there was no fighting. The 3 oldest kids all shared one room and every night everyone was asleep before 8:00pm. AMAZING right.
Friendship
While on the trip I realized that Michelle and I have known each other for 23 years! That is over half of my life! It got me thinking about how much has happened over those 23 years and what each of us has gone through. So many changes both good and bad but still our friendship remains!

So it was a great trip and we all had a blast next time I hope that we can try and stay for a one more night and do a few more things.
Kindergarten
The first Wednesday after out trip Ken went down and registered Kaylee for Kindergarten! I can not believe she is that old already! I know that she is ready and keeps asking me when it starts and I think that is what makes it so hard for me, the fact that she is wanting to happen. She has no fear about anything and I love that about her but I feel like at 4 years old she does not need me any more :-( . She is so comfortable with everything and just goes with the flow. It is just so unreal. I am really happy that she can take care of herself and is so helpful. Just sad that she is not my baby anymore.
Insurance and Health
Also before we left on vacation I had a few procedures done and had a change of medication. Now my doctors have given me a few different choices/options for my next steps and I am not sure what to do. I go in this Thursday and we will take it from there. We are also in the process of getting new insurance with Ken's new work and they don't have Kaiser. It is all a little bit overwhelming for me. I am not sure if now is the best to change doctors and stuff with all the health issues that are going on. The kids are both going to stay on Medi-cal for now as long as they qualify. Once Michael is 3 he will stay on Medi-cal and Kaylee can be on what were. There is no way we could ever cover the copay's for all of Michael's therapies and his medications.
