Summer Vacation

Does anyone still read this????  I have been so bad with updating over the last year, I am hoping to start writing regularly again.

A lot has happened since I last blogged.  We are in the mist of summer vacation and took a week long trip the TN at the beginning of July.  It was nice to just relax and hang out with my family.  We spent a day out on the lake and then had a nice 4th of July party, even though it rain all day long. 

Nathan and Liam both attended a week of art camp and are also participating in the River City Swim League with champs coming up in a few weeks.  Braxton has almost mastered potty training, no pee accidents in two days but still working on getting him to go poo on the toilet.  He was is doing great at swimming.  Both Matt and I hope that he is swimming by himself by the end of the summer.

Mid June we found out Liam application for the McKay Scholarship was accepted.  For those who don't know about the McKay it is a scholarship for FL students that have an IEP.  Liam has had a IEP for speech since he turned 3 so we were able to apply.  He receives the funding he would of used in public school to apply it towards his private school tuition.  With him receiving that it has made it possible for Nathan to return to Trinity in the fall.  Nathan is happy and sad at the same time, he is going to miss his homeschool friends and zoo class but will enjoy going back to Trinity with Liam.

Braxton will also be starting preschool in the fall, he will be going 2 days a week from 8-12:30.  That will give be a little break from the kids.  I am hoping to get involved at Trinity volunteering in some capacity. 

Matt has been dealing with a bulging disc in his back for a few months now.  Last week he finally was able to have surgery.  His sciatic is doing much better but him leg muscles are still very tight.  I keep telling him that he hasn't used them for months and that it will get better with stretching.
