WELCOME 2016!!

As we say goodbye to 2015, I look back at all the wonderful and amazing times we have had this year.

No matter how much I remember, I know I will always miss something - which will pop up as a splendid memory later.

Some of my most favorites at this time are:

Liam deciding to go to a Karate class and finding an activity that he enjoys so dearly he decided to join team when given the opportunity.  He was asked to be apart of the Master's Club and is working on being part of the Dojo Dudes as well as using kamas in one of his forms. 


Liam is doing great in school and learning to make wise choices for himself.  He loves to read and is really getting into writing.  He learned how to write his name in cursive to sign my birthday card.  (Yes, the tears were there).  He is growing up soo fast I don't feel like I can turn around without missing some awesome thing he has learned.

We unearthed rocks.  It was pretty cool!!

Aine has been doing soo much this year.  She also joined Karate and was asked to join the Master's Club.  She has since started using Nun chucks and is enjoying the ability to do what she wants to do.


She has been horseback riding, but took a necessary break which once weather conditions are verified she will be back in the saddle :)

Aine started walking on her own the end of October and hasn't stopped since!  She has started to ask to walk instead of being carried and is also walking up the stairs by herself!

She has had a bunch of testing and monitoring of her heart in the last month and will have further testing done in the next couple of months to finalize some information and then we will start processing and sharing that information.  But.... as of right now, her heart is as stable as her heart can be (another checkup will be in 3 months), her lungs sound good, her speech is progressing, her walking is Awesome! and her hearing is "getting better" as she now wears hearing aids while awake.
Waiting patiently for the doctor

Ready to get my hearing aids!

Sadly - none of the places we update are letting me upload videos (I'm calling not operator error - LOL!!!)

I will work on getting those loaded - or - I may have to get help from someone...

I hope you have a great 2016!!!
