So special!

Cambria is growing and changing so much these days. She has had a wonderful year at school and is slowly continuing to develop. Every little progress she makes is so sweet and so precious and we are praying that God continues to bless her through school in TX. Her end of the year evaluation went well and there has definitely been great progress in speech, she loves repeating words and phrases. Her receptive language is coming along slowly. There is now the concern of autism, it isn't a diagnosis and it is difficult to determine if her delays and actions are due to vision or something else. We are hoping by taking the concern of autism seriously, she will be able to receive the services she needs. She remains as happy as ever! Thank you so much for all your prayers!

 

Along with all her special needs, God has blessed her with a crazy amount of strength! We caught her like this completely on her own and she stayed there for a bit- looks like someone got Daddy's strength!

She has given up naps for the most part, but a couple times a week she does fall asleep. This was a rare moment where I found her on the couch!

No, we aren't potty training, not even close. I got it out for Ainsley, she is more curious. Cambria kicked her off and I let her give it a try. She sat there looking at a book for a while, but nothing. She didn't get it at all, but she did like pulling the stickers off the potty and at least she wasn't scared to sit there without a diaper! Someday we'll be there!

My sister sent Cambria these painted tennis shoes that Cambria loves! They have duckies on them and on this day she brought them to Daddy and asked for "ducky shoes".

 

She likes to escape outside, if the door is unlocked. She is content exploring in our yard for a bit before running as fast and far as she can- this makes play time in the back yard very short (can't wait to have a fence).

"apple on tree" She was picking up rocks and trying to put them on the tree!

Avalyn's Recital- Year 3

Avalyn had another great year of dance! She Loved every minute of it, especially the recital! After 3 yrs. you could see so much improvement. She did the routine with a smile on her face the whole time! We were so proud of her!

Ready to go!



They get a pin at year #3! Avalyn was so surprised and proud to earn her first pin!

The proud big brother!

Cambria enjoyed the music and being there for big sister. Ainsley stayed with a friend and took a nap- sitting still for an hour (during nap time) is not her strong point right now.

This year we surprised her with a new dress, jelly shoes and a doll!

Praying God provides a way for her to continue to dance!

Our living room!

This is what's going on in our living room, a-lot these days! Avalyn LOVES working on her gymnastics and cheerleading. She has improved so much this year and we look forward to watching her talents grow!

Easter!

It was a busy day, with Easter baskets, church, lunch with friends! Didn't get a picture of all 4 together this year. Makes me a little sad, but these will have to do-

It was a wonderful day! Our small group from church came over for lunch and some Easter egg hunting!

 

Then we brought out the cascarones, thanks to both sets of grandparents! So much FUN!
It was a great time with some of our Nebraska "family"!
