The girls all qualified for preschool so they can continue their speech therapy after they turn 3. They are going to a different elementary school than Declan since his school doesn't have a pre-school program. Which is just fine since we'll be taking them to and from anyway and we've heard that the speech therapist at this school is awesome. They qualified for 2 days a week (Mondays and Wednesdays) for half days so they will go from about 7:30 ish to noon. It will be interesting to see how they do. I met the special ed teacher and I think the girls are going to love her! I'm really not worried about Aven and Stevie as I know they will warm up to anyone, Bria on the other hand I'm a little worried... She is such a daddy's girls and literally shakes if she's somewhere unfamiliar or with someone that she isn't used too. We'll be starting the Wednesday after their birthday and that Monday we are going to go with them for a test run. I'm mostly looking forward to Andy getting a few hours to himself and for the girls to get involved into a structured learning environment, but I'm not looking forward to them getting sick... I'm hopeful that none of them will end up on the hospital and now that they are older that their immune systems are better... I think it's also a great time to get them into school since they still have 3 years before Kindergarten and will have plenty of opportunity to catch up before then.
Here are a few pictures from the last few weeks... Stevie picking her pumpkin...
Declan and Bria...
Trying to get all the kids in the pumpkin face...
The kiddos and Daddy
This was the first year that that the girls were involved in the pumpkin carving process... And this was their reaction :-) They were scared of it! They got over it pretty quickly, but it was pretty funny to watch their reaction...
The finished products!
Halloween! Declan was an army man and the girls were "whatever I could find in their play room" :-) (L to R: Aven, Stevie and Bria - sitting)
We have some friends in town this weekend visiting - which is tons of fun and our first visitors outside of family... Mr Justin (aka the Big Lebowski) and Stevie...
