I feel so lonely missing all of my blogging friends and their comments. I really feel apart from my world! We still haven't set up computer which makes blogging impossible. But don't worry I have two months of great photos I plan on blogging when we get our computer set up...
Meanwhile, we are set up here in Coarsegold, CA and just loving it. I think the slower pace is really what our family is needing. It gives me more time to focus on my kids and hopefully offer them a little more help. Jansen has been undergoing some testing to help us learn how to better meet his needs and we found out he communicates at a 10 month old level. What a challenge!!! At least that makes me want to be more patient with his frustrations. We've found a GREAT therapist who just loves him to death, and we couldn't be happier with her. It seems like we have more options for help everyday with Janse.
Mitchell on the other hand we've had a harder time finding where to start. We've been gone from Virgina for almost 2 months and still don't have anything set up for him. We've been to his pediatrician, and have an evaluation at the hospital set up for him in two weeks. Jansen's therapist have given me some new ideas for Mitchy, but it's obvious he needs more.
Reesa has been in HEAVEN playing with her preschool friends and especially Cami Kendall. She asks daily to go see her. We got two kittens for her to play with and she spends lots of her time with Daphne and Tiffany.
I joined our ward quilting group and LOVE IT! and Jennifer has been a great friend keeping my mind occupied with lots of fun dreams of card making and scrapbooking. We got together this week and made 40 FREEZER MEALS! Yes, even I'm amazed. But now we will be eating good for the next month to come!!!
Jake is in love with his job. Yes he's found his second love. He enjoys being at work and thinks the staff and patients are great. He's begging me to let him work more... (right now he's working 1 full day and 2 half days). We're looking for a more permanent place to live since we're just renting and hopefully we'll get something soon. AND everyone is welcome to come visit us anytime!!!!!
So that's the latest. loving and missing you,
kellie

ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you updated, Killie K!!! I've been thinking about you lots and wondering how your new life is going. I'm glad you're settling in and liking it there. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE that you have a cat named Daphne!! The cat we had for 18 years was named Daphne, and I've never heard of another one. :) I can't wait to see some pics of your new life, and good luck getting things rolling for Jansen and Mitchell!
ReplyDeletegood luck w/ everything! It sure takes an extra measure of patience to work w/ a kid behind in developing communication .I'm glad you have good resources. Glad things are going well and you are happily settled.

ReplyDeleteKellie, your alive! haven't heard from you in a while. I am flying into Los Angeles for the week on Monday May 17th. Doing the Disney land, sea world thing. How close are you???
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you guys are settling in. Good to hear from you.
ReplyDeleteOh Kellie, I've missed you too and have been thinking a lot about you and your move to California. Glad Jake loves his job and that jansen has found a therapist so perfect for him. Best of luck with Mitch. WE'll continue keeping you guys in our prayers.
ReplyDeleteI'm SO proud of you for getting all those freezer meals made - genius! I wish I had a group to do that with. Do you have a master recipe/shopping list?

I'm so glad you're loving Cali! It's so good to hear you're happy after such a huge move. Good luck with Jansen and Mitch. You are such an upbeat, positive person, you're just the mom your kids need. Have FUN in that quilting club!!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Coarsegold! It really is beautiful up here, and I'm told this endless winter is abnormal. Coming from the deserts of Arizona last summer, this certainly is a change for our family as well.
