Been away for awhile....

It's been awhile since I last posted. As usual, life is just busy.
-Shayla is now a yellow belt in her karate program & learning several kata's (if that is how you spell it).
-She just wrapped up the 2nd grading session & continues to progress very nicely, which makes us very proud despite the chaos that often looms at our house.
-Shayla is participating in the Children's Christmas program at church in a few short weeks.
-She is making a list for Christmas & birthday wishes understanding that we (Mom & Dad) are focusing on family time this year & gift giving will be very scaled back---those are hard lessons sometimes to understand, but we keep working on that.
-Thankful that we are almost ready to celebrate our 8th Shayla Day...wow, were has time gone!?

Our Hayden.....
-School is going for Hayden....some weeks are better than others.
-Hayden is suppose to increase his time at school to almost a full day in another week.
-He remains without active seizures, thank the Lord since April & partial seizures gone since August.
-Hayden has made the rounds to his various doctors in the fall & has had some repeat visits before the end of the year.
-Hayden is a real Monkey Boy...he climbs everything, is into everything & some nights I wonder where the energy comes from it is like a new bottle of energy has been popped open at bedtime.
-We located a new pediatrician & feel good about the move there.

We are especially thankfully this season for health, & family. We hope that your day is filled with thankfullness.
xoxo, Amy
