How time flies.....

Hello, all! Our USB cord is not working, so I wasn't able to upload any recent photos, but I found this while I was digging through my files....

Not much is new. We are still working closely with Jack's alternative medicine doctor to help keep Jack's autistic symptoms at bay...vitamins, minerals, chelation etc...we are thinking of getting a special mattress pad for him as well. It's a little voodoo, but it's electronically charged and is supposedly very successful in treating and healing all kinds of ailments. Also, we are considering what's called cold laser to treat his food sensativities. He has an appointment with his child psychologist at Devos tomorrow, Thurs., to be reevaluated, so we will keep you all posted on how that goes!

Well, not much else. We're gearing up for Thanksgiving. We are looking forward to seeing family...and eating some yummy food! Aunt Cindy, we are anxious to see you Tuesday! Also, Bill and Judy Shearer and David Ward and his brood are coming up! We will also be at the Tamlyn house for the weekend, Nana's birthday and possibly a new little baby!

Love you all! Stephanie

Updates.....






Hello, friends and family! Just a quick update. Not much new...we switched antibiotics for Jack's double ear infection and we're already seeing results! Praise God! Also, some of you don't know Wendi (Smith) Yee's boys Noah and Collin...but I watch them 2 days a month. Here is a picture of them! Cuties!






Also, the boys were in the bath the other night....

Tonight, Heath was "reading" to me and here is a little bit of it.....sorry it's so dark! (again)

One of those weeks...!






Hi, all! It was one of those weeks. Between housework and school schedules, soccer practice and swimming lessons, parent teacher conferences and voting, I had a busy week, but we threw a double ear infection for Jack on top of that! Hurray for surprises!






Also, the boys are really into legos suddenly. This is a picture of a tower daddy built with Heath (yeah, those are my arms)




Happy Birthday, Chris! You're 31! Craig's family was down this weekend for Chris's birthday. Craig's Cruisers, cake and YMCA fun!



Renee worked a 70 hour week at Munson Medical Center last week, so we let her sleep whenever she wanted!

Also, I hope you all enjoyed the video of Heath singing and dancing (where do you think he gets the dramatics from? Craig?) He also has another song he likes to sing and dance to. It involves clapping and stomping...now, Heath has known how to clap for awhile, but it's as if it's a new skill he's aquired. He claps all over the house now....during meals, after meals, walking down the hall...in bed......

I hope you are all well. We got our first snow today! Love you!

This weekend...halloween, dancing...spite and malice

Greetings friends and family. The boys went trick-or-treating Friday and loved it! We went with the Stonehouse family. Their oldest girl, Elaina was a deer and their younger daughter Emma was an angel and their youngest, Ellerie, was a pumpkin! We had a blast. My parents were also here (Thursday and Friday); who didn't make any of the pictures again! (sorry Mom and Dad...we love you, we promise)

Also, I taught Jack how to play "spite and malice". Hopefully by next summer he'll be all ready to play for hours with Great Grandma Balyo! And Heath also has a new dance he's been doing for 3 days..."wobbly whoopsie" from Playhouse Disney CD....here's a clip....ENJOY!
