An update

Things have been crazy here.  We are still living with my inlaws trying to find a place to rent/buy in our area... its hard because our town has a lot of not nice areas and few nice neighborhoods, surrounded by really nice towns that are just a little too far at this point to make our daycare situation feasible.  It is working out okay and we are constantly on the search for just the right place for us!

Things have been crazy for both Josh and I at work, so there has not been a lot of down time around here!  We have been trying to do some fun things with the boys on the weekend, we went apple picking, I took them to Smiling Hill Farm with some friends, and we went to Goffstown to visit the boys' godfather and see the Pumpkin Regatta... which was fun and interesting.

The boys are doing really well at school.  They still have a tough time with drop offs and pick ups some days, but they seem to be adjusting well.  This month their teacher is going to be teaching the kids some signs, so hopefully that will help the boys fit a bit better with the kids who have much bigger vocabularies than they have.  She will also be talking about twins, which should be interesting.  I wish I could ask them about it and get an answer of what they think about what she talks about, but that will have to wait.  They are doing really well with speech and making some big progress.  They use about 7 words on a regular basis (up from about 2 in August), and are working on same a lot more sounds and words with Shiloh.  We are having a meeting in November to sign the paperwork to get their evaluation for 3-5 services, which will give them an IEP and services through the school district.   This will be an interesting change, hopefully it goes smoothly!

I just today finished squaring the squares for their quilt, so I will be ironing and sewing those into strips probably this weekend.   I am getting closer to having two complete quilts for their twin beds as soon as we move!

I think thats it, I will try to post some of our outings and upcoming adventures, plus something new for me that will hopefully keep me updating more frequently!
