It's my first day without Nate and so far it's just fine! I know by the end of the week it will start to get hard and I will miss him like crazy! The kids are already missing him! They keeping asking when daddy is coming home from work! How sad! I know that I will have to have lots of patients with the kids to be able to make it without Nate for the next 2 months!

Elijah is growing up so fast! He decided that the dryer was a great place to hide! It scared me when I was not able to find him for about 30 min. Finally I heard something form the Laundry room and there he was giggling! Nathan and I have been taking Elijah to speech therapy the last 8 months and we noticed that it was not doing much to help him so we decided to have him evaluated to see if something else was going on. He first meet with this great Doctor who helps kids that are Elijah age and see if anything might be going on and he decided that we should see a child sociologist. The child sociologist did a test on Elijah for about 2 hours and told me that he has a minor case of Autism. Scary I know, but this Doctor gave me some hope! He told be that if Nathan and I get him the help he needs he will be just fine by the time he is 5 or 6 years old! He said the best thing to do is get early intervention with children that have Autism because it gives them a better chance of helping them!

It was Abby and Gwyn's birthday in April, but I wanted you to see how cute the cupcakes are that I made for them! I worked on those almost all day! Nate and I decorated the entire great room with balloons and streamers and princess stuff! When the girls woke up they were so excited! I can't believe that they are 4! It was just yesterday that they were born so small and cute!

This waterfall was amazing!The name of this waterfall is Marymere. It is close to Forks which most people have heard of because of the book Twilight! What a beautiful place! The kids loved it!
