well, today was a very dreary monday! it rained all night last night, and most of the day today, so the kids were stuck inside! they did fine and played quietly most of the day. while the twins were taking their nap, i took jordan to go get a speech evaluation. he has gotten alot better, but i still see issues. we took him about a year ago to have one done (a different place), but we were told that he was not bad enough to qualify! i was very upset to learn that his speech pronounciation is at the level of a 3 1/2 yr. old and he is 5 1/2. so, he qualifies for speech at the same place that he will be having his OT. he will have speech on mondays and then OT on thursdays! i am not impressed with the other place at all. i was told that had he gotten the help a year ago, that he would be fine now, but that it likely had gotten worse because of going untreated for a year. so anyway, he will get help now. while i was there, i scheduled the girls to have speech and OT evaluations on Friday. i figure i want to catch them early if there are issues so i don't have to go through this again!
after we got back from that, we went to applebee's to have supper. while we were there, we saw the girls other main NICU nurse sarah. she was there with her hubby and two of her three kids! it was so nice to see her. she hasn't seen the twins in quit a while. i felt bad because i really wanted to talk more to her, but i felt kinda rushed since there were people waiting for tables. i'm not sure if she reads this or not, but if you do, sarah, and you have a email address, could you post a comment and leave your email address (or have elaine pass it along). i would love to get caught up with you. :)
well, that is it for now. we went to a birthday party for justin and lucas (we'll just call them cousins). the kids had fun. i didn't take too many pictures as i felt a little awkward. most of the people i had never met and the ones i did, i have only met a couple of times. i hope you all have a great week! here are a few pictures from the party:

I am glad to know that he is finally getting the help he needs! I hope the girls do not need anything. It is so hard to keep up with it all isn't it? Olivia has a speech and hearing eval next week. Joseph and Nicholas were fitted for braces for their feet yesterday. Oi! Too much stuff!
i wonder if the speech has anything to do with his ear infections. dont worry-he will catch up he is a smart boy
Well Robert and I are super glad you came and so were the boys. I am sorry you felt akward, but if it's any cosolation, I still feel akward around Robert's family.
I was glad to have you, Jess, and Heidi there. Otherwise, I would have NO ONE to talk to.
Thanks again fro coming, I am really glad we are getting to know one another!
Garrett was evaluated for his speech about 9 months ago? He didn't qualify, but is supposed to be re-evaluated in January. I'm glad that he is going to be re-evaluated because he still has problems with certain sounds. I'm glad Jordan's getting the help he needs now!
