Busy, Busy, Busy

Once again I've fallen behind on keeping up with my blog. Things have just been very busy around here. One of the nurses at work went away for a little over a month to visit her kids in the phillipines so everyone else had to pick up the slack which meant I had to work every Sunday except for one in March. She was suppose to be back the second week of April but Mt. Redoubt blowing it's top put a halt on that and she didn't get back until last week so things are pretty much back to normal at work until June when we loose another one to maternity leave until August.

My car died on me again so we have finally decided to get our new vehicle. We are going down to the dealership on the 23rd and sealing the deal. Turns out my new transmission they installed back in January died on me. I found out the hard way when I was on my way out to my parents house last Saturday. I got to the first stop light in Wasilla and my car wouldn't go anywhere. I finally got it into 1st gear and from that point on I had to treat my automatic transmission like a standard. Mike took it into the shop on Tuesday and they had to seen my transmission back to Subaru and they are waiting for them to return it now. Fortunately we have a 1 year warranty on the transmission so we don't have to pay anything when we get it back.

Michael went back into surgery on April 2nd. This time he had the plates and screws removed from his legs so he's back in the healing process now. It's not so bad this time around. He's already back to walking and crawling. Hopefully there won't be anymore surgeries for a very long time. Michael had his IEP last week and he's doing very well in school. He had met quite a few of his goals and they are starting to work on a new set now. It also sounds like he may be in the same class again next year which makes me very happy. I love Michael's teacher and she is so good with Michael as are her aids. Since he will be in the 4th grade next year he was suppose to move to a different class but that class seems to still be pretty full so they are probably just going to leave him where he is and he will just do 4th grade work instead.

Mason has his IEP the first week of May. He's having some troubles in reading and math so he will be attending summer school this year.

East was nice this year. Mason dyed eggs with my mom on Saturday and on East we attended church as always and when we got home we hid the eggs so Mason and Michael could go out and find them. The East bunny also brought both kids a huge Easter basket with lots of goodies in them that both kids enjoyed. As so as I get my pictures uploaded I will be posting them.
