First Day of School
I realized that I never posted pictures from Wyatt's first day of school! Here they are:
Right before leaving:

And pickup:
AH HAH! I finally remembered my password.
It has been ages since I was able to get on the blog (I am adding it to my "morning coffee" -- a Firefox add-on -- so that I'll get to read it weekly). I found the note where I wrote down my password, so all is well again.
We got our new windows today! They worked very quickly, and all of the old were out and the new in within 2 1/2 hours. They cleaned up after themselves, and we got the "bonus" of having our back porch shoveled for us (until the storm tonight, that is).
Just a bit before Thanksgiving, Liam fell and hit his head on a wood chair. He split his head open, and required 6 staples to get it closed up again. I would post a picture, but I know that there are those who are squeamish that read this blog. He bounced back quite quickly, and claimed that it didn't hurt a bit when they pulled the staples back out. He can be such a brave boy!
We took Liam in to be tested by the Utah Department of Child Development, and the diagnosis is Asperger's Syndrome. We were told that if we get him into a therapy group, there is a good chance that he can learn the social skills that he is currently lacking. The psychiatrist said that while it will never come naturally to him, he can come to recognize the social cues that he otherwise misses and his social life will be only minimally impacted. I was so relieved to hear that. It is apparently a good sign that Liam enjoys being social and has no problem with meeting new people. There are many Asperger's kids that would be content to be pretty much solo all of the time, and are uncomfortable with approaching someone new.
I thought I would have a LOT of news to pass along here, but it seems that this is it (for now). I will be adding pictures of the new windows when my camera battery is recharged and I have light outside. The sun is going down now, and my camera is still charging.

Spaghetti Dinner
Brendan & Katie had a sleep over at our house on November 19th. We had spaghetti for dinner. I only got pictures of Luke & Katie though. The others only stopped playing for a few minutes to eat and I didn't have my camera right then.
The pictures of Alex and Corwin were taken the next time we had spaghetti (Dec. 1). Corwin doesn't like spaghetti sauce, so he eats his noodles plain and this is as red faced as he gets.
