I know I keep saying more pictures soon, but they will have to wait a few more days... just wanted to give a somewhat quick update on our little family...
Jack completed his set of autism evaluations and it will probably be a while before we know anything. He still shows some signs of autism, but not enough to diagnose him. It might be like this for a while until he gets a little bit older and they can either say yes or no for sure. He is defnitely improving in some areas, but he is still very challenging. At this point we have no clue and it wouldn't suprise us either way.
Lots of big changes for Logan. He is sleeping in a regular bed now and we are in the process of turning his room into a big boy room. The new bedroom is his birthday gift from us! It would be a silly birthday gift if he didn't like it, but he loves it! I can't keep him out of his room. Can't belive he is almost 3! He is completely potty trained when we are home, but going out of the house is a completely different story. We will start working on that soon, but one step at a time! And lastly, he is going to preschool! It wasn't really part of the plan to send him yet, but it just kind of hit us that it would be best for both children. At this point we feel it would benefit Logan and Jack, (maybe even Jack the most) for some separate time. They are always in each others business and some days it can be a problem! Logan will get to use up much more energy and have fun at school, while Jack will get some much needed alone time! I can't even imagine what it is going to be like to be able run errands and get things done with only one child again! I am so excited to take him on his first day and I really hope I don't cry. James would be the first to make fun of me.
As a family we have been very busy with church. We are so thankful to have found a place we like so much and is so close. Meeting lots of new people and we are in the process of membership classes. Sundays are great and Wednesday night church with dinner just started up too. For the last few years, we had nothing on our schedules at all besides work and our kids. It has been completely opposite the last few months. One activity after the next!
And I also have to mention our running. Yes, we are still at it. I will update on some races later. Our weeks are full of interval training at the track, long runs, short runs, 5k's, 8k's, runs with the kids, fast runs, slow runs...you name it! Our Disney half marathon is less than 2 weeks away! Me and James cannot wait for our 2 nights away! First time away from kids for even one night since before Logan was born. ( 3 whole years!) We just made our hotel reservations and it will be here so soon! Just weeks after the Disney half, we are signing up for another half marathon at the end of October in Boston, Georgia. We are taking the kids in a jogger along for that one! :) Probably a little slower than usual, but the kids will love it.
So, that should be it for now. I will get to pictures, races and all that fun stuff next! :)
