The past few months . . .

Ok, I know it's been a really long time since I've posted. So, I will try to give you the quick summary of the past few months . . .

Isabella continues to be seizure-free. She is still on 2 anti-seizure meds, and has not had a seizure since early March when she was in the hospital. She continues to keep us on our toes, being quite the active two-year-old. She loves being outside and can't get enough of the pool (another little fish, just like her sister!). She also likes to color and play dress-up with Emma. Isabella started going to preschool two half days a week, and she is always talking about her teachers Miss Shelly (Shel-Shel she calls her) and Miss Susan. Her favorite preschool activity is the playground time.


Emma - once our 4lb 9 oz baby - is now in kindergarten!! She is going to a school where she attends 2 days a week, and then we homeschool her the other three days. Emma is adjusting to kindergarten and is missing Pre-K . . . she misses "all the toys from pre-k and thinks there are too many books" in kindergarten. Her favorite subject so far seems to be social studies where she is learning about different people in the community. And, she loves the poems and songs she is learning. Emma did great in swim lessons this summer, and participated on the neighborhood swim team. She really enjoyed all the people watching her swim across the pool!! She also attended Safety Town camp, Mermaids and Tropical Princess camp, and gymnastics. She will be starting back to ballet and tap in the fall.

Tom and I celebrated our 11-year anniversary in May by running our first 5k together. It was a fun experience and a totally different way to celebrate our anniversary. Can't believe it's been 11 years!! Anyways, I've done a few 5k's since December now. The most important one to us that I did was the one where I ran for the Epilepsy Foundation of GA and ran in honor of Isabella. We traveled north to visit Tom's brother's family in July, and then spent some time with my mom. The girls and I actually stayed at my mom's for almost two weeks. It was so fun and relaxing. We went to several festivals, visited the local amusement park, and played at Nana's. The time went by way too fast.

That's a quick summary of the past few months. I hope to stay on top of our blog updates a little better!
