The past few weeks have been BUSY! Finn started Kindergarten and Elan started Preschool! Finn has a fantastic and energetic teacher named Ms. Russell. He has 12 girls and 12 boys. He has been in school for 3 weeks now and loves it. He takes the bus and he is only on it about 5 to 10 minutes more than if I drove him, perfect! The bus literally picks him up on our property too. Our neighbor girl is also in Kindergarten and they ride together.
Here is a photo of Finn going to his unofficial first day. They sent the kindergarteners to a full day as a large group to basically see how they all get along and then split them into 5 classrooms. They did something right as Finn's class seems well suited for him!
Elan started preschool too! He really enjoys himself and goes Wed - Fri 9 to 12:45. His PT, speech and a hearing audiologist all go to the preschool to work with him. The PT does is right on the playground with the other kids so he doesn't skip a beat.

| His eye is getting so much better! |
We have been doing acupuncture lately and really see a difference. We are working on his balance and paralysis in his face. Still can't believe he turned 3!!!! We are so beyond fortunate to have him with us, let alone living a really truly normal life!
I am 33 1/2 weeks now with the twin girls and will have them October 11th! All is going well and I have no restrictions. I am still able to drive 1 1/2 hrs for work and even though tired, feel really good.
Thanks to everyone for your support!
