We were lucky enough to get tickets for this year's White House Easter Egg Roll. The Obama's had decided to put the tickets on line this year vs. the past years where people had to camp out to get them. I started trying to get tickets at 6am. At 2pm I called my mom to have her try since I had to pick up Addie from school. 30 minutes later she called saying she had the tickets!!
We had a great time. The weather was just right. We didn't get to see the Obamas but it was a wonderful experience just the same. There were about 6000 other people on the lawn at the same time. It was a little crowded but all the kids seemed to be having a great time.
We have been busy getting everything ready for the move. It will be here before we know it. Nathan went back to school last week.....for two days.....then he got sick again. He has a sinus infection, but we all decided that it isn't worth him being back in school for the rest of the year. He just can't seem to be able to stay healthy. So he will get homebound services again until we move and then hopefully he will be well enough to attend school next year.
Addie is doing great. Her lip/nose is just about healed.

Long Overdue
I have finally have found some time to update everyone on how things are going in our lives. My mom came to visit at the end of Feb. We were able to see the National Cathedral, which was beautiful, and visit the Pentagon 911 Memorial.
After Nathan's last hospitalization, we decided it was best for him to be kept at home and not go to school. So for the past several weeks his teacher has been coming into the home and working with him. The good news is that he is doing well and we are hoping that he will be able to go back to school on the 13th of April.
Addie is doing well. She had surgery on Tuesday. It was mostly just a cosmetic touch up. The surgery was about 2 hours long and she was able to come home that night. She looks like she was in a fight, but is doing well. She went to school today and the teachers said she did wonderful. Her classmates didn't even seem to notice her stitches or swollen lip. Her speech is coming along great. She will continue to have articulation issues until the holes in her palate are repaired, but she is doing really well. She celebrated her 3rd Birthday at the beginning of March. She got a new pink stove and sink, which she loves.
Last night, Addie told us that she needed a band aid. So she went upstairs and got this band aid for her head. I guess the one the surgeon put on her wasn't big enough!!
Last week, the White House, made their Easter Egg Roll tickets available online. I thought it would be great if I could get tickets for the kids. I tried from 5am until 2pm and had no luck. I went to pick up Addie and called my mom to have her try while I was gone. A few minutes later she called and let me know she got us the tickets!! We are so excited to be going to the White House and hope that we will get a glimpse of the President.
The other exciting news is that we are moving back to San Antonio at the end of May. We are waiting for our final orders, but it is pretty much a done deal. We are going to miss this area. Not neccessarily the people, but the area and the fact that there are seasons. TX has really only one season - HOT. We were so thankful to be able to experience on last snow.
We are also in the process of buying a house. It is one story with a loft area, which is great because it means no more carrying Nathan up and down the stairs. All the bedrooms and the living room are on the ground floor. It will suit our family so much better.
We hope everyone has a happy and safe Easter.
