A Home

I realized today that I have yet to post pictures of our new house. So at the end of this post, you will find some pictures of our wonderful home. We are so blessed to be here. It's become very evident over the past few months how much we needed the space (the house itself is nearly twice the size of our apartment). The kids have been loving running around in the giant yard and even better, they have friends in the neighborhood. This is huge! They've always had friends, but to be able to have them over, almost anytime they want, is a whole new concept. One little girl in particular comes over almost every day to play with them. It brings back memories of when I was little and would go to my friends' houses to play. I've always wanted our house to be place where the kids felt safe to bring home their friends, and it finally is. Hopefully this will last into their teen years. ;) I am so grateful to have this home!

We've been running on empty this week. Well, the last few weeks for that matter. We've been overrun with appointments and it feels like there's no end. Dinners have been tossed together last minute because I just don't have the energy to prep the meal the day before or time to really cook a meal the day of. Lunches are almost always on the go, which means a lot of fast food and sandwiches. It's tiring. And I'm tired of eating like this. (ps, anyone who wants to bring us food will never be turned away! Lol). With summer approaching I'm hoping to make it to the farmers markets and start making some good homemade meals again. But we'll see what happens with appointments.

Amara had her cognitive and academic testing this week. We will find out the results in about 2 weeks. I'm not worried. I'm actually hopeful. I'm hopeful that these results will tell us either that there are other issues so we can address them, or that there are no other issues so we can properly address and diagnose BD. Its not a bad thing. It's a good thing. Meanwhile, I am trying to get ready for end of year school testing with Amara. I don't expect her to do well because she has had so many struggles this year. We still plan on homeschooling next year regardless of this years test scores. It just means we either need a diagnosis to get the school district off our backs, or we need to crack down harder next year and make sure she does well.

Well, thats all I have today. Enjoy the pictures!
