I was uploading some photo's when I got a pop up saying I had a new email. It was a notification of a comment from here. From my last entry.
I got goosebumps when I read it and it prompted me to come back here.
As I posted not too long ago, I seem to be blogging less and less. I think the fact that I have a new baby, and 2 busy boys is one reason. But the bigger reason being that I don't feel like I need to. When I started this blog, we were in crisis-mode. Cuyler was newly diagnosed, Cam was just starting kindergarten. I pulled out of my night school classes due to stress.
I needed the blog to get all of my shit out. And it helped tremendously. The little network of fellow bloggers was a great bonus! Through them, I knew I wasn't alone.
I don't want "Sherry" to feel alone. The impression I got from her short message was that she may be in crisis-mode. It's a terrible place to be.
So, while we are out of crisis-mode and in a good place at the moment I wanted to check in with my fellow bloggers and offer support to a new "friend".

I also wanted to share some recent pics of my amazingly gorgeous children!

Cam the man:
Cam turned 6 3weeks ago. He continues to excel in reading and started his second year of lacrosse today. His summer 3 on 3 hockey program starts next weekend.


CuyCuy the cutie pie:
Cuyler is still getting over a bout of strep throat. Some breakthroughs: He went to the dentist and allowed the hygienist to look in his mouth and count his teeth. We took him to the dr and he let the dr look in his ears, listen to his chest and swab his throat. His langauge continues to expand and he is using it functionally and is doing tons of spontaneous sharing.



Eva the Diva:
She is now just over 3 1/2 months!!!
Well...it appears the hemangioma is breaking up. It is starting to look cloudy/milky and not so bright red. It is becoming flat and less textured. I'm not getting my hopes up yet. It could come back. These things often grow for up to a year, then lay dormant, then breakdown. For it to be breaking down at 3.5mos is crazy! But it did have an extremely active growth phase during her first 2 months. We are now going to the dermatologist monthly as opposed to every 2weeks!
Checkout her gorgeous-ness!!

I didn't post on the board on your thread so I will here....your children are so beautiful!!! That Eva is going to knock some hearts!

And I know what you mean about crisis mode. That was when I started blogging as well. Shay has progressed a lot in the past year so I don't feel a need to post as much. And then when things start getting hard, I post a lot!

I am glad Cuy is doing so well. I always knew he would, he is such a great, strong kid! And he has a very strong mommy!
