At the end of Dad's vacation you may need to pick Alex and I up off the floor, but we sure are having fun!!!!
Sunday we went with our neighbors to the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens to see the butterfly exhibit. There were SO many more butterflies then the last time we went. It was a fun morning. We were supposed to be heading to church in the afternoon for some fellowship and an Easter Egg Hunt. But, Alex fell asleep at 1 and I woke him up at 5:30! Poor baby was too tired.
Monday was horseback riding day. Grandpa was impressed to see how far Buggy has come in the last few weeks.
Yesterday, we had therapy and a doctor's appt. Liz (our beloved OT) was out and we had a sub. She pushed Alex extremely hard. (Liz has been working with Alex since he was 18 months and knows how much he can do and when he has had enough). Needless to say, he was exhausted. When we left he tripped over his feet and fell and skinned his knees. Poor baby! One good thing is there is never any lack of medical supplies around here for bandaging up!
Today, we are off to the zoo! We can't wait. The weather has been beautiful. It should be a fun day.
Bruce has a second interview today with a company he interviewed with on Monday. Please storm the heavens with prayers and keep your fingers and toes crossed!
Buggy is doing really well overall. We have one problem that has been going on for the last month. We aren't exactly sure what is going on, but we are working with Dr. K to try and get to the bottom of it. Basically, Alex is seeing flashing lights and colors. He is also complaining of his head hurting. The two things we are throwing around are migraines and seizures. I will let you know as we get more info.
Another Thank you to the two WONDERFUL ladies who did photo shoots for us in the last week! As you all know I LOVE good pictures of my sweet boy. I have seen previews of both sets of photos and I am so excited. We continue to be blessed by the generosity and love of others. For that we are SO thankful! To check out the photos you can go to www.starglophoto.com/blog and Sweetland Photography on facebook.

What a fun day!
We had the honor of having a photo shoot this morning courtesy of Alison with Starglo Photography and the Littlest Heroes Project. We went to a park in Dallas and took tons of pictures. We had several different outfits. Alex was really cooperative and did a great job. I am so thankful for her generosity. It was a wonderful experience.
After our photo session we headed to Ann and Oscar's house. Alex loves my Aunt and Uncle and cousin. He was happy to see them and even happier to get in their hot tub! It is nice to have at least a little family close by!
Alex is loving his time with Grandpa and this BEAUTIFUL weather!

Yesterday was an all around great day!
Alex is officially on vacation! He has two weeks school free! We are supposed to have perfect weather and we plan to make the most of it.
Grandpa flew in yesterday morning. Alex was SO excited! As always he was glued to him the rest of the day. I love to watch them giving each other a hard time and laughing.
In the afternoon we headed out to participate in Alex's first ever Easter Egg Hunt. It is only appropriate that it be with his very best buddies! It was held at a small botanical gardens. We got there early and I was able to convince him to let me get some pictures. Then we got to have a friend who is a professional photographer take some photos of him holding a rabbit. He loved that little rabbit, but was not happy it had sharp claws! Then it was on to the hunt. He thought it was so much fun to collect the eggs and compare his goodies to his friends. The kids weren't thrilled when we forced them to endure our never ending photo shoot to attempt to get all 7 kids looking at the camera at once. As our loyal followers know, we force the kids to do this every holiday so they know the routine, they just aren't happy about it. BUT, at least we have five and a half years of photos of these kids growing up together. Some day they'll thank us!
It was an awesome day! Thanks again to Jessica for being so generous and helping us create memories.
