I guess it's been a few weeks since my last post...but in my defence, it's been a busy few weeks!

We are fast approaching May 19th. I've been looking forward to this moment for so long, but now that it's 4 months away, I'm starting to grow anxious. We know that we will still be here a little while past May, but it does mean that that this "phase" is about to be behind us. Spencer takes his practice DLPT on Wednesday and Thursday next week. We are incredibly nervous, I can't imagine how we will be on the actual day of  the final test. We're sweatin' over the practice one!  He feels confident though, which is great since HE is the one actually testing not me. Otherwise, we'd been in trouble! 

We are still trying to figure out what we're going to do when he goes to TX. Should we move with him for those 12 weeks or go back to FL and stay with a friend? I love the idea of staying with my girlfriend Cassy, and collecting BAH, but I know it'll be hard on the boys. We will be living in limbo for a few months and I'm not sure how Alex, especially will handle that. He is very much a daddy's boy and not so good with change. I think it'll be good for us all though. People assume because we are military, we're use to separation, but honestly, in the past 5 years of Spencer's career, he has never gone TDY or deployed. We know he will deploy with this new job, so I think it'll be good "practice" for when when that day comes.

Update on Aidan's 18 month baby well (even though he's about 20 months now) lol

He is now in the 60% percentile for height and weight, and 90% for head circum. His doctor enjoyed watching him move about and was really impressed with his physical development and put him at a 24 months for his social development. ( no surprise there really) he is SUCH a flirt.  Some day's, I wonder if his energy will ever run out since he seems to just go and go, finding new ways to explore his world. I can feel another ER visit soon. He's been climbing alot lately, scaling the book shelf and what-not. Yesterday, I came downstairs to find him half way up trying to reach a book! That child is 100% fearless, which I do appreciate but not at the expense of my frequent "heart attacks!"

Alex is also doing very well. He is such a  little talker these days. We are amazed at how well he can count, recognize letters, even write! It amazes me even more that he's only 3 years old. If you know me, you  know how big of a head start education nerd I am. I do tend to push them, but only because I know their limits. Alex could be reading by this time next year, that has been my goal, to see him read by the age of 5, and here we are writing our alphabet and name at 3! I guess you can say, I'm a pretty proud momma ':o)

Well, looks like my 10 minute break is over! Back to work! :)
