Happy New Year!

Hey Y'all,


I know in my last post I mentioned how excited we were because Raef didn't have an accident for a full week. Well I just wanted to mention that it has been almost a full month now still no accidents. Things here at home are getting back to normal and he is doing great. We think that Raef has had more time to concentrate on getting to the bathroom now that our life is a bit simpler. It is real hard as parent because sometimes you feel like you are the reason your child may be struggling at particular aspects of their life, even harder when individual(s) make destructive comments towards the way you are dealing with the situation. Raef is the best and we are so proud of him, he is and will always be a blessing in our life.

We have moved our furniture around, it seems to be working for us. We made a playroom upstairs for the kids and moved our bedroom down stairs. I really like having my room downstairs. The kids are still adjusting to the playroom being upstairs and keeping their toys there. They still want to come down and play in the living room. And every night we find Kaylee asleep in Raefs bed. It is seriously the cutest thing. Brady has become a crazy man. He has so much energy and has been acting so funny. He runs around the house clucking like a chicken, he says things like its time for me to be dumb and falls on the ground or runs into the couch.

The kids all got Webkinz this Christmas and they love them. Raef has 3, a tiger, a panther, and a silver cat. Brady has 2, a frog, and a bull frog. And Kaylee has a puppy.
Christmas was really good this year. The kids love the toys they got, and Rob loves his Tile Saw. And I love my bracelet.


My Birthday was good this year also. I got a new vacuum, which I only have been able to use a few times. Rob loves it and uses it more than me. I love it. It is amazing to see what our old vacuum was missing.

For informational purposes I was put on a new medication that seems to be working a lot better than the Celexa was. I seem to have more energy and I am feeling a lot better. I am not so down all the time and I am enjoying my kids and Rob alot more now. Pristiq has been wonderful.


Also I was talking to Rob and we were thinking about starting the biggest loser again. So those who are interested please let us know. I gained all the weight that I lost back. It is very depressing. So if you are interested we are planing to start January 1st. So you have a few days to get things in order. We could do it for a reward or just because we want to feel better about ourselves. So its up to you. Let us know as soon as you can.

This year has been as crazy as we could imagine. We are happy to see it go but also grateful that necessary lessons were learned. We will try to learn, and not make the same mistakes this year. Family is our priority, wherever we land.

Sorry about not posting any pictures lately, our camera isn't charging again so we don't have pictures of Christmas or thanksgiving. Hopefully we will have some pictures soon. Miss you All.
