Life's just moving along!

I feel like my life has really changed over the past 2-3 weeks, in a really good way. It all started on Mom's Weekend Away. Something happened that just made me feel all put back together, and like I became a whole person again! I have just been feeling great.

Then Courtney had the incredible swallow study. That just added to the wonderful feeling I already had! We just got a copy of the swallow study in the mail. Hubby asked me if we should frame it. Tempting!

Courtney started new private swim lessons yesterday. I found a lady in Monument who has a pool in her house and has swimming lessons there. She also has an instructor who works with special needs kids. At one point she was a physical therapist, so she is helpful to have work with Courtney. Courtney got right in the pool, she has no fear! She had a blast with flippers on her feet and goggles on her eyes. She even put her face in the water a few times! We plan on going about every other week for a few weeks. We will then decide if we want to stay there, or try something else. It's a bit far away and a bit pricey because its private lessons, but that is really what Courtney needs right now.

The sale of our domain DOOH.com should go through this week. So, please be sure you switch our email addresses over and also if you go to our homepage to look at pictures, that is changing too.

Kasey is walking almost all the time now. She's so cute, I love this stage when they are learning to walk. I have several videos of it on my website, it looks like they don't work, but you click on the video it is there.

I think I forgot to mention before that Kasey is on breathing treatments. Her last set of x-rays didn't look great, they think she might have either asthma or reactive airway disease. So, she is currently on once a day breathing treatments with a steroid and another medicine. We have to do those through mid May. She will then have another set of x-rays to see how her lungs looks. Hopefully they look good, but if they don't we will have to take her to a pulminologist. The one pediatric pulminologist that was here in Colorado Springs moved out of state, so we would have to take her to Denver. But here's to hoping that whatever is going on with her lungs clears up with these breathing treatments.

She is such a ham too. You get the camera out and she starts making faces like this:
Courtney had her first Fluffernutter last weekend. Ok, it wasn't a TRUE fluffernutter because we don't have FLUFF out here, but it was as close as we can get. She didn't gobble it down like I did! (My mom made one for each of us), but once we added chocolate chips to it, she ate it. Now, doesn't that sound like a healthy sandwich?! That's what happens at Nana's house...
Courtney is still doing well at Hippotherapy. She rode a BIG brown horse named Echo this past week. She is doing really well at that! She doesn't realize she is working her muscles!

I had my last MOPS meeting. The MOPS runs in two semesters concurrent with the school year. So, we are done until fall. It's sad, I have really enjoyed MOPS, it came into my life at a much needed time! I think I am going to volunteer to be on the ministry team next year.

Kasey helps out with laundry and the dishwasher! She moves clothes from the washer to the dryer all by herself. And when I am emptying the dishwasher, she will hand me the silverware to put in the drawer. It's awesome. Now if I could just teach her to vacuum....
