Where has the time gone?

Wow. It has been SO long since I've updated everyone! The last time I posted, Emilie Cate was one year old and Camryn was just out of Kindergarten. Clearly, blogging is not a regular hobby of mine. I wish I could find the time to update more, but hey, life happens. I guess I mainly blog so I can share these times with my children when they are older, and to update friends and family that do not live nearby.

Where do I start? So much has happened! Camryn completed first grade and is now a second grader. She is thriving in school and doing so well. I cannot believe the progress she has made just in the amount of time since I last posted. She is doing so well with speech therapy that her therapist is having trouble finding things to work on. She has been doing great with occupational therapy (probably our biggest delay right now) and just loves her new "teachers" at our new therapy clinic. She can read and write very well, and is really only struggling with math at the moment in school. She loves school and seems happy to go each day. Her current favorite thing to do is play on her iPad that she got for her 7th birthday. I cannot believe she is already 7. She had a Disney Frozen themed birthday party in which she invited the characters Anna and Elsa to come to. They showed up and Camryn had the time of her life. She got to sing Frozen songs, make snow, and have "princess lessons." It was the cutest thing ever. Her eyes just lit up. I pretty much cried watching her sing with them. She is doing much better with her social skills and we are currently working on how to play games appropriately with others, sharing, etc. She's just doing great all around, and we couldn't be more proud. I can't wait to see where she is in another year's time. Here are some pictures of our sweet girl that you may have missed!


 
 
Emilie Cate is now TWO years old! (And yes, they are sometimes terrible! Ha Ha!) She is talking in full sentences and asking questions, and just getting so big! She LOVES watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Her favorites are Mickey, Minnie, and Donald Duck. She also loves watching the older Mickey cartoons on her phone while relaxing in bed or on the couch. That's the life, right? She is learning to share with her sister and is becoming very independent. She just learned to wash her hands by herself and we hope to start potty training soon. She's also learning to brush her teeth. She's starting to develop a love for reading and books, which I am so excited about. I can't believe how fast she is growing up. It seems like just yesterday she was born. Here are some recent pictures of Em!
 


 
 
And last, but not least.....we have a NEW family member to announce! Welcome to the world, Grayson Shaun Mouser! We finally got our sweet baby BOY!!! He is perfection. I never thought I'd get the chance to be a mommy to a sweet baby boy, and yet here he is. God knows what we need exactly when we need it. I hope to do another post soon on my pregnancy with him and his birth. But, for now, I will share some pictures and call it a night, as I have to tuck the girls into bed. <3
