Christmas photo session

Our friend Jamie (who took our other pictures a month or two ago) agreed to try and get some Christmas pictures for us. I'm not gonna lie...I get very anxious over Christmas pictures. It's stressful. For those of you who agree with me, add a special needs child into the picture. What stresses me out the most is that EK is a BEAUTIFUL girl. But most pictures don't show that. :(
 
I decided to go where we have taken pictures the past couple years. As I was getting ready that morning, I realized I was crazy to think that I could handle all 3 kids while Jamie tried to get good shots. I called my mom and thankfully she and my dad were able to meet us there. They were a HUGE help. Andrew is so mobile this year and I wanted to be able to try and get a smile from EK.
 
Jamie got some great shots. I have not included any that I used on our Christmas card. You'll have to wait for that! :)
 
A couple of my favorites: This was the best smile that we got from EK that day. She loves it when I hold her around the waist and help her jump. Good sensory imput for her, I think.

Awww...AK and AC. She was a good sister to try and keep up with him. Pops helped a lot too.

This one cracks me up. Perfect example of how hard it is with three. At least EK wasn't crying here, but it's not very becoming. AC put the ball right in front of her face several times. I don't know why I needed to tell her to put it down so we could see her. And look at AK...he had just thrown his Christmas ball and he is congratulating himself. :) HA!!

Another cute one...AK saw a plane in the sky. We were closer to DFW so the planes are much bigger over there. :)
So, I'm glad it's over for another year! A big thanks to Ms. Jamie who did a fantastic job! She's so patient and great at capturing my kid's personalities! :)

Autism Awareness Day

It's hard to believe this is our 10th Autism Awareness Day. Ironically, I also sat in EK's annual ARD this morning. To be honest, life is so busy right now that I haven't had time to think much about this day approaching. Maybe that's good. When I have too much time to think about how autism has changed our family's life, I sometimes get discouraged. When EK was first diagnosed in February 2009, we thought that if we got her in the right therapies, she'd start Kindergarten in a mainstream classroom. That was our goal and early on, it seemed doable. We changed her diet (which by the way, I don't regret at all. I truly believe it's helped her to be the happy child she is.), we did occupational therapy, speech therapy, ABA therapy, vitamins/supplements, school preschool program for kids with autism and many other things. Fast forward a few years  and we saw no real improvements. In fact, she stopped talking a few months before her 4th birthday. Those begin...

3 days in a row...

EK started back to preschool on Monday morning. After 2 weeks off for Christmas break, I was a little nervous about how sad she'd be when I dropped her off and how long it'd take her to get back in the routine. When I picked her up on Monday, I was SO relieved to hear that she hardly fussed that morning. She was happy all morning long! She participated in music therapy by playing the guitar. She worked on fine motor tasks with her teacher and she colored with a marker! This last thing is a BIG deal. For some reason, the past 6 months or so, she would NOT hold a writing utensil. I'm not sure if it's because I used to tell her constantly to not put it in her mouth or if it became a sensory thing or a control thing. Whatever the reason, she just wouldn't even try to hold a marker, pen, crayon, etc. If you put it in her hand, she'd drop it or throw it. We literally had to firmly hold her hand around the writing utensil to keep it in her hand long enough to scribble ...

3 months ago today...

Most of you who are reading this know what our family is going through right now. It was 3 months ago today that we took EK to a developmental pediatrician. We left there with a diagnosis of autism. Even though we knew it was coming, it was tough to swallow. We've done so much research, reading books, searching on the internet, and talking with those who've been down the same road. There is so much information out there. We're trying to be proactive and do all we can to help her live a normal life and I'm praying like I've never prayed before. She's still our sweet 3 year old daugher, our firstborn. Her diagnosis doesn't change our love for her. I'm not even sure it changes our dreams for her. We know that God is able to completely heal her, but regardless of the outcome, we know that our God has a plan for her that will bring Him glory. I'm so thankful to be the mama to EK and AC. They are such sweet blessings, even on the hard days. :)
