Look at these beautiful kids

Kid update from a proud mommy:

For all the days that seem long, never ending and very tiring, there are 3 more that just make you smile.


Spencer is speaking more and more words every day. He loves to repeat or copy people and has even made complete sentences when asking for something. He is just Happy all the time - he has this amazing and infectious smile that helps us overlook his scream that accompanies him throughout the day. We even get comments every where we go about how cute he is. His favorite thing to do is to walk around the house wearing just his diaper and some shoes. It doesn't matter whose shoes, anybodies will do. He also LOVES baseball - go figure....

Alyssa is such a great helper with Kady, always willing to hold her, or help mommy with anything. I don't know if I could get through the day without such great help!
Her latest thing is to collect everything Hannah Montana, she has even produced a few talent shows at the house with a lot of HM songs sung on her HM guitar.
She's anxious for summer to be over so she can start school. She asked me just yesterday if she could start kindergarten sooner than her birthday cause she just can't wait. We have even began to shop for her back to school supplies starting with her Hannah Montana pencils and folders.

Kady is already 6 weeks old and growing so much everyday. She is very "squishy" as she has been called by many - I say she's cuddly and of course cute with those Chubby chubby cheeks!
It is hard to think that this is our last baby. We are trying to enjoy every moment of it, Even the crying moments. :) She does smile for us occasionally but not in any pictures yet.
We are still trying to figure out how to control the spiky, wild hair - so I use headbands a lot just so there is no confusion that she is a girl.

We just finished another appointment at the University of Iowa with the behavior specialists for Chandler, we have 3 other departments that are going to be assisting us in evaluations so that we can have the best plan possible for him. He continues to do well on his medication for the ADHD, now if they only had one that helps kids listen to their mom and clean their room.
Lately he thinks he is a wizard and can do magical things like open the automatic doors at the grocery store and stop the rain. When I asked him to use his wizardry to help him clean his room, he told me that there wasn't a spell for that yet. Smart.

He was playing a video game in this picture so it was hard to get him to look at me. He has lost about 8 or 9 pounds since December so his clothes that used to fit him are now too big on him. It is a challenge to get him to eat anything during the day, so if you have any ideas - we'd love to try them.
