Our Most Recent Book Order
I try to limit how many times we order books from school. We get order forms sent home ALL OF THE TIME. Emma and Sophie LOVE books-which is awesome! But, we have SO MANY. And, we end up donating a ton every year or two. But, when I saw *these* books on Emma's order form I could not pass it up:
Coloring Easter Eggs
My two dearest peeps and I colored Easter eggs today.
I boiled the eggs, set up the table, & mixed the dye tabs.
Emma and Sophie did the rest ALL by themselves (almost)!
They did a VERY good job. :)

A Huge Step!!!
I received the BEST email ever yesterday from Emma's Special Education teacher, Mrs. Donahue:
I didn’t get to witness it…but Jen (Emma's Para) said that when they got to PE today, Emma did her running warm-up and exercises without any support or prompting (for the 1st time), she was smiling and saying hi to coach…and smiling at the other kids. And that’s not even the best part! They played tag today and Emma got to be the “tagger”. She played tag WITHOUT JEN or anyone else helping her. She was interacting with the other kids…smiling and tagging and running around!! Hooray Emma! Everyone was so proud of her.
To say that Greg and I are proud of Emma is an understatement. This is such a HUGE step for Emma. It gives positive hope for her future. Emma will ALWAYS have autism...but, she is proving that it will NOT define WHO she is.
Emma is now taking a cocktail of 3 medications every day. It is not ideal by any means, but obviously it is working!

Mini Martha Stewarts.......
Emma and Sophie STILL love sitting down together to do crafts.
Hmmmmmm, perhaps I ought to teach them how to make
wreaths or pillows and make a lil' money
off of this.
;)
(I am only kidding).
Do they look like live little dollies in their dresses & hair styles?!
I love them so much.
BeaUTIful Girls!!!
Emma had her second piano lesson last night. She did a great, great job by the way!
I thought that she looked so grown up carrying her "piano bag"...
I just HAD to take a picture.
:)
Yes, Sophie has a piano bag.
No, she is not taking piano lessons.
*A-hem, cough*!!
;)
(Draw your OWN conclusions).
*LOL*
Surfing the Web on Daddy's Computer
I love the way that my littlest imp, Sophie dresses herself up with jewelry.
It cracks me up!
*LOL*
