There are lots of things that I've been addicted to lately and one of those things are SLEEP! Troy has been spoiling me this past week while he was working at his parents house. He'd take Ryan and I would take Benjamin home for an afternoon nap. So, what would any other mother do while their cute little child slept? I probably should have got on my treadmill or did something productive. But, that would have been a good choice. My bed was just calling my name. I was able to sleep and take nice, comforting naps. Ahhh. Now, that's heaven!
Some other things I've been addicted to? TWILIGHT! I just finished reading the 2nd book, New Moon, and I'm about to start the 3rd. I already watched the 2 movie trailers HERE and I read the first chapter of Midnight Sun (Edward's perspective). I sure do hope that Stephanie Meyer finishes Midnight Sun. That's going to be a really good book!
Another addiction... Another cross stitching project! My Aunt Diane (Sara's Mom) let me borrow a pattern of a really super cute cross stitch she did. It's all the seasons with cute buttons on them. I can't wait to start but I just have to get away for a while so I can go shopping for the material and thread. Things have been a little crazy because Troy's been busy with this, that, and the other.
So, a couple of weeks ago, I had an urge to make something for myself. I decided to make a cute little jumper I can wear for church. I bought the pattern and fabric and with my MIL's wonderful help, here's what I came up with!!
Here's a close-up of the fabric...
I'm pretty proud of myself that I was able to do it. I'm really grateful for my MIL who had the patience to help me with it! Thanks Marianne!!
Alright, here are some pictures of the boys and how adorable they are!
Ryan is doing really well these days. We started a music therapy program back in April and this week is the LAST WEEK! I can't believe that it has been 20 weeks that we did this program. Ryan is talking more and he likes to sing Old MacDonald Farm, Itsy Bitsy Spider and ABC's.
Here's BENJAMIN!!
He is unbelievable! He is just a ray of sunshine in this family! I'm really enjoying this little boy and I can't wait until he starts talking more. Benjamin had another CT scan not too long ago to see how things are checking out in his huge head of his. Back in December when he had a CT scan a couple of days after his surgery, they did notice that he has enlarged ventricles in his head. We did another CT scan now so we can see if the swelling went down. According to my doctor, they have gone done a little. I asked him by how much percentage wise but he wasn't sure. He was going to get back to me but he never called me back. (This doctor we have for the boys is not scoring any points with me lately. Ugh!) We have an appointment with the neurosurgeon who operated on Benjamin for a follow-up next week. I'm sure everything is just fine for Benjamin because he is developing so well and his skills are right on.
