Christmas

Christmas break was 2 weeks long and with all three kids at home all day, I didn't get many extras done. (Besides clothing and feeding kids, changing diapers, cleaning up after kids, etc.)
EK and AC went back to school last Thursday and it was a nice break to just have little man. He is a handful in and of himself! :)
 
Anyway, here are some pictures of our Christmas! It was so nice to stay here AND enjoy time with family!
 
Here's AK on Christmas morning!
 
We always read the Christmas story from Luke 2 before we open presents. Since AC had memorized it, she read it to us from the Bible. :)
 
 
I knew AK would have fun opening presents this year. Just stocking goodies made him happy. :)
 
After stocking presents, Grandma and PaPaw came over for breakfast. It's tradition in our house to have monkey bread and sausage egg casserole for breakfast. Yum!! While we ate, AK took a nap. He was getting over a double ear infection and needed sleep. Poor boy!
Then it was time to open presents.
 
AC and Grandma (with her new Cinderella doll)
 
Here's a happy one of EK. She wasn't really into opening gifts, but was at least happy. :)
 
The dollhouse that Mommy and Daddy put together on Christmas morning. The Christmas miracle! Miracle that we still had a happy day afterward. :)
 
Super fun surprise! It snowed on Christmas!!! YAH! AC was so excited! :)
 
AK likes the dollhouse too. He got stuck once or twice. What a mess that boy is!
 
Later that afternoon we went to my parents. We opened gifts and then had dinner. Notice all the stockings? I found a picture the other day of Christmas Eve 2002. It was just me and my 3 siblings and Keith. My, how things have changed! Seven grandbabies later...
 
Uncle Steven and AC
 
Someday we need to attempt a big Hoyer family picture. It's been a long time since we've taken one.
Keith's parents came over to my parents for dinner. It was a great day with family! And we got to sleep in our own beds that night! :)

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. :)
