Halloween Update

Taylor had her parade and party at school on Friday and Grandma Marla drove up to go with us. Taylor was be Ariel. We have attended two Halloween parties, one was the NICU reunion and Taylor dressed up as Belle, Lauren a UCLA cheerleader (in honor of Aunt Shauna and Uncle Ryan), Alison was Tinkerbelle. The Junior Blind had a halloween carnival and Taylor was a pirate and Lauren and Alison went as nurses. Here are some pictures from the past weeks.....






Last week all the girls had there first real colds of the season, Lauren and Alison didn't get to school or therapies all week. Taylor managed to skip thru with no problems, just a nasty cough. I have to admit even though the girls were sick it was nice to just stay home and do "normal" things. So we are back to the same old hectic schedule this week. We have decided to pay for an additional physical therapy session for Lauren at home, her old PT Lynne will come just to stretch her once a week. Lauren loves to be worked out and is so calm and relaxed after her session. The girls will be turning 3 in April which means everything will change once again, so we are starting the transition from Regional center school/therapy to local school district, which means most likely they will each go to different schools due to their needs; Alison a more "typical" preschool and Lauren will stay were she is just in a different classroom for the more physically involved kids. I will post more as I get info.....but for now the holidays are upon us once again and to let everyone know Taylor's "Wish List" is about 756 pgs long to date. The wish list was my great idea (was at the time anyway), she would ask for toys and things when we were shopping and would readily accept that she couldn't take it home with her as long as it was placed on her wish list. So while watching TV we hear every 30 seconds " I'M GOING TO GET THAT ON MY WISH LIST" Darn commericals!!! Anyway hope everyone is well and ready for another holiday season. We will be traveling to San Diego for Thanksgiving this year and Christmas will be spent at our house with my parents!! It will be nice to spend Christmas with them, it will be the first time in 8 years.

Love you guys so much. Words can't explain... Lauren as a UCLA cheerleader just made my day. The zombie pirate is a little disturbing, but thanks for the pictures and keep them coming.
