Hey Family

I hope more family members will get on this site soon and "SHARE" what's been going on in their lives.  I'd love to catch up on what everyone is doing.

My family just got back from a trip with Holly and family.  We went to Disney World for 5 days and then a 3 day Disney Cruise to the Caribbean. It was very fun to be together.  It works out nice since we have the teenagers (Jillie, Ethan, Reagan), then the Middles (Saroya and Kobe) and the Littles (Jaleigh and Jackson)- so everyone has a friend to hang out with.  (Although there were times when it was boys vs girls too).  We made a lot of good memories.

Back in the real world though, the kids are working hard to get caught up from missing a full week of school. :-/  

Reagan is in after school rehearsals almost every day.  She is part of her middle school show choir, she is singing in a solo and ensemble competition this weekend as well as performing in her middle school "Cabaret" show.  She's got a solo- "Popular" from Wicked and a duet from another musical that I don't remember right now- as well as performing in the ensemble numbers.  Anyhow, big day for her this Saturday :)

Jackson is very busy these days too- seems every week we have another visit to a doctor.  Since we moved here to Ohio in August he's been starting to create a new team of doctors.  He has seen multiple specialists and had more tests run and we are not done yet.  In Buffalo they tentatively diagnosed him with mild hypotonic cerebral palsy, but he doesn't fit any mold perfectly they they continue to put together the puzzle that is Jackson. :)  It's not easy- I hope we can find more ways to help him.  He's such a sweet boy and doing well in 1st grade - and on his basketball team too! :)



Anyhow- enough from me right now.  Post some updates and pass the word!!
