What's happening?

This past weekend we were able to go down to the LA temple. We picked up Bud about an hour early from school Friday to try and avoid some of the traffic. Ricky and Kim also went down. They were so nice and watched our kids while N8 and I went together into the temple and then to dinner. It had been a very long time since N8 and I did a session together in the temple. We're trying to continue our goal of monthly temple attendance for at least one of us. We were able to get a little bit of shopping in on Saturday and head back home.

Today N8 left of travel for the week and I took Bud to the doctor. His teacher had asked if we would have him evaluated for ADD/ADHD. I was worried about how this would go and what would happen. I came away from the appointment feeling a lot better about the situation. She said she does feel like he has ADHD, but is not at the point of needing medical treatment. She gave me some recommendations for home and school. She also let me know at what point I might want to bring him back in to discuss more treatment. It's something that we're going to monitor a lot more create more stucture for his routine.

We got his progress report for this trimester and he's really doing well. His reading has really improved a lot in the last couple of months. His STAR testing has shown that he's really getting it, which is always nice for a parent to know!


Today I also talked to my parents. Skpe is a wonderful invention! We're able to use webcam's and talk to each other each week. For those that didn't know they are serving in Georgetown, Guyana as family history specialists. They are now serving in the West Indies Mission which is a change from their original call to the Dominican Republic. They are going to get a chance to travel to much of the Caribbean setting up and teaching members about family history.

No major cleaning or organizing goals for the week. Mo has turned into Mister Distructo! So, lately I keep adding more child locks onto things that I never would have thought of! Maybe I'll actually break out some of my mountains of fabric and get working on some projects, mmmm, or maybe I'll play my new favorite Facebook games like: WordPaths and Challenge Suduko! We'll see... If anything Bud will go to school, Emma will go to preschool and we'll all survive another week!~
