There are a million other little extra things we have been doing each week also. Last week, We did family pictures, which was an experience in its own! I am thankful for the wonderful shots we did achieve though!
We spent 5 days in Oregon at my parents for Thanksgiving. We had a great time. Nick and I even got to sneak away on Black Friday and get most of our Christmas shopping done. Not only was it nice to spend some time together but also a quick shopping trip for the holiday. I have not put up a Christmas tree, as I am fearful of how Joey will treat it, or react to the sensory effect of the lights. So needless to say I'm not really feeling the holiday cheer. I hung our stockings and wrote out my Christmas cards. I haven't made bread, or cookies, or crafts. There is a paper wreath hanging that Joey made though. We experienced our first taste of the cold season too. Joey ran a 100 to 102 fever for 3 days, has a runny nose and cough. We are going on 5 days so far. Nick sort of pulled out his back but of course he is toughing it and working through it as he usually does. I have really been enjoying working. I am getting to do so much more than I learned in school. On a side note, as much as I felt like I was so ready leaving school, I felt confident and knowledgeable, I have learned so much more in 2 months working then I learned in 9 months in school. I was some what disappointed in PIMA when it comes to the proficiency of the basic tasks, yet I was appreciative that I learned front desk unlike some of the other colleges. You win some, you lose some.
Joey is in the process of doing genetic testing. He is talking some, says all gone, all done, and I got it! He is really in to Cars right now. We bought some news toys to help with his developmental delays. We just keep working hard and praying. For that is really all we can do.
