Target Portait Studio

I have often had the kids' pictures taken at Target in Wyoming because you can't beat the prices! For the most part I have been very happy there. Today I received coupons in the mail. There's a Frequent Smiles card for me and one for a friend. It's a card that can be used multiple times for: free sitting, free 8 x 10 and $4.99 sheets. You can use it as much as you want until October 18. I was just thinking I needed to get pictures of the kids taken again! Anyway, if anyone else could use the other card, drop my a comment (you don't need to register for blogger to leave a comment) or send me an email.

One more thing...I know there are some "Blog Lurkers" out there who read the blog, but don't comment! So...hi Becky! Hello Eden! :)

Some Fun Pictures

This is one of Henry's favorite things to do right now...it helps that Colin pushes him around the house at break-neck speed though!


Abigail's new bathing suit :)

A whole selection of the kids goofing around together.

I bet you can guess which one is my favorite!







Hanks Update

Time for the monthly update on Henry...

He was evaluated by an Early On Coordinator today. She met with us at our house, talked to Colin and I for awhile and then played with Henry for a bit. Her conclusions were encouraging in many ways. She told us that in most things Henry is right where he should be...18-24 month range (he's 18 months old right now). That was encouraging, especially in his gross motor skills. There were many things he was doing that aren't expected until much later too, so that was great!

She evaluated his speech to be in the 7-10 month range. I guess that's kind of what we expected, but again, a little hard to hear the specific numbers. We're encouraged though, since we will be meeting with a speech therapist within the next two weeks to set up a plan for Hanks. We have already seen a huge improvement with his speech in just the past couple of weeks...it's great to hear him say "mama" now!

Thanks again for support and prayers...we feel 'em!

Crazy Bounce






We had a low-key Sunday this week and decided to do something fun with the kids. We took them to Crazy Bounce. They loved it! I took Abigail many months ago and she had a blast then, but yesterday she was crazy! She loved it! Henry had a blast too...he loved the ball pits as well as going through the obstacle courses and down the slides with Colin. It was hard to take good pictures, but I got a couple. The one of Abigail on the slide is blurry, but I had to post it just to show you how fast she went!
