I have some catching up to do! Spring was a challenging time--I (strangely) came down with mono--so all "non-essential" activity got scaled back in the interest of survival. I'm afraid blogging fell into the above category. We made it through, though, and enjoyed a relaxing and fun summer. Visits with family, and a trip to Walt Disney World, Sea World, and the beach and birthday #3 for Pierce were the highlights. I really didn't know how it would be going by myself with two children (Bob couldn't come), but decided to give it a try. Pierce embraced every new experience with everything that was in him--he didn't want to miss anything!
Pierce has made good progress with his speech and is making beginning sounds to words. We had him tested and his receptive language is well above average--woo hoo! Not bad when you consider he never heard English before last October! He will start a special program at school in September and will be getting speech therapy as well as instruction in a small class every morning. He is such a smart little guy and loves exploring and figuring things out (a little scary for Mom, sometimes :) !)
We're trying to decide whether we should pursue surgery on his hand and foot in the coming year. If we're going to do it, this is the time (so says the doctor)! We're praying for wisdom in this....
Summer for us is now over--Mom goes back to school this week!

Pierce Turns Three!
Pierce had a great early intervention teacher and speech therapist (just can't find her pic at the moment). He'll be going to a morning three year old class in school starting September.

Walt Disney World--at Epcot!
This one was taken at Sea World.
The kids really enjoyed the pool at the resort where we stayed! Pierce was a bit cautious after a couple nosefuls :)
Pierce was sooo determined not to miss anything, but he did succomb to sleep eventually.
