Well it's been since Feb 2011 since my last blog.. WOW.. What all has been going on?? ALOT.. LOL so here is update on all of us since Feb.. Get your glasses and coffee ready to go..
Update on Tanner: In March we went back to specialist so had told us that Tanner's vision is progressive, when it changes it will get worse not better, but they would do testing. He went for many tests that showed he is color blind and detail is hard for him to see. We saw a low vision specialist who gave the school lots of pointers for them to use devises for him at school. Which is he currently learning how to use a magnifer for his papers and using a marnicular for seeing things far distance. Sorry this is just a short and sweet update on him. But things are the same he is getting better about telling us things he can't see without being embarassed. Its a change for us all but we are all adjusting!
What's new with Tatem??? She just started cheering at a new gym in Cleburne and is loving it!! We haven't started competitions yet but she is having a blast practicing with her friends. She is in 4th Grade and doing great. She is involved in Choir this year and also has a job before and after school helping the librian shelf books.
What's new with Tanner?? Other than vision stuff, he is in 1st grade we held him back and this has been the best decision he has the same teacher and she is a blessing. She knows all of Tanner's vision needs so she is on top of everything. He is doing great with school and all the people helping him succeed are AWESOME.
What's new with Travis and Tamara?? We celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary in March. We didn't do anything fancy but that's ok. Out of everything we have been through in the last couple of years we have proved that we have a strong marriage and I am proud of that. Travis was working in Houston, but was able to start working in Ft Worth as of March and is still local as of right now. Anything change with the railroad LOL.. And lastly but certainly not least.. I accepted a job last summer to start working for the school for the school year. For the first time I feel like I am exactly where I need to be job wise. My calling was to be in education and while I am not a teacher, I am the teacher aide for pre-k but it is just a good.. I love my JOB!! I get paid to have fun and teach little people PLUS it's a big bonus to see my own little people everyday.
So all in all 2011 started off rocky but we are taking it as it comes and are coming to terms with everything as it is handed to us. We are very blessed to have a happy, HEALTHY family!!
