Going Bananas!!

I Realize I have been off the internet for a while but WHEW!! Trying to keep up with my friends is exhausting when I've been MIA for a while.

I'm glad to see that everyone had a nice thanksgiving and is moving happily into Christmas. We have started our shopping and we are almost through. I do my shopping little by little throughout the year and when I pull it out to wrap it its like "WOW, didn't realize the boys had that much stuff."

We received our first Christmas card of the year and it was from Jarod and Katie. They have two adorable dogs. Which reminds me...for those of you who do not know, Allen got me a Great Dane for Christmas. I've wanted one for so long and now i have one. He is full blooded, black with a white star on his chest. The boys love him. His name is "Momma's Big Ben" we call him big ben. Before you ask yes, I named him after Big Ben Roethlisberger of the Pittsburg Steelers. I also have a kitten we call Polly she's named after Polimalu of the steelers.

We have finally started getting answers on Austin, he is NOT having seizures but we still do not know where we stand. He's not speaking much at all so we are trying to learn and teach him sign lanugage. His teacher thinks this is a great idea and has even enlisted the help of the sped office to help us locate materials for him.

Aubrey is doing well, just being mean. He likes to pick on his brother and poor Austin doesn't really defend himself. Ah the joys of parenting boys. :)

I'm sure there are THOUSANDS of other things I have planned to say but I can't remember them now. I wish y'all all a Merry Christmas and I'll try to stay in touch better this time. :D
