Family Update

So it has been quite a while since we have updated the blog and soooo much is happening in our lives so I thought I would share.

Aidan:
Yesterday was his birthday and we took him to The Saffron Cafe to have dinner. He got to have a wonderful dinner Chicken, rice, noodles, lemonaid, and of course Birthday cake. We were going to share more of ours with him but he was way more occupied with his friend Athena and the sparkly dancers. He had fun dancing with Athena, the dancers, and Mommy and throwing money at the dancers and so on and you get the picture. His 6th birthday was lots of fun and he says his favorite part was when the whole restaurant sang happy birthday. He got a balloon and a certificate for a new bike from Mommy and Daddy.

He has been doing great in school. His reading and writing is improving. He is having difficulties seeing so we are going to take him to get his eyes checked which will probably happen sometime at the end of march.

Isabella:

She is growing like crazy and getting into everything! It is so fun to watch her grow and help her learn. She is finally saying mama which makes me soooo happy. She can walk if she holds onto something but she is getting daring. She tries to let go of things and still stand and walk but she still wobbles and falls. She will get it eventually. Can you believe that she is 10 months old? It seems like just yesterday she was in my tummy.

Trevor:

He is still working with ERS. They send him for training a lot which is hard for me when he is gone but I am learning how to deal with it. He is working on some things with IndyGo at work. I don't know exactly what he is doing but I am sure he will expand on this entry later.

Me:

I started my next set of classes. I am taking The History of Art in Early Civilization. It is really interesting but a ton of work. In my last set of classes I got an A in Digital Image Manipulation and a B in Life Drawing. I think I could have done better but I just did not have the time to put into the Life Drawing class that could have gotten me an A. At any rate a B is not that bad.

I will be starting yoga teacher training on Tuesday. I have also been taking bellydance classes online with Suhaila Salimpour and am working through the Improv toolkit by Nadira Jamal. Anyway with all this work I am losing weight steady but sure. We still want to get me tested for thyroid issues as I still show many of the other signs.

I started to go to Al-anon last week. Holy Cats was it hard to do. I was scared and embarrassed and I knew that I just had to do something. So I went... I got a lot off my chest and found that a lot of them knew how I feel in one way or another. However no one had really been where I was so it was kinda strange and helpful all at the same time. Anyway that is about it for now.


I hope life is going as well for your family as it is for ours.
