Alexis

As part of my New Year’s Resolution’s I promised myself that I would write more in my blog rather than just posting pictures.  I’ve been posting pictures of the kids so that my family can see how big they are getting and because I don’t know what to write.  I guess you can say that I’ve had ‘writer’s block’.

I was listening to the radio yesterday when the weather person said that the over-night high was going to be -10!!  Yes, you read that right NEGATIVE TEN DEGREES!!  Holy Cow!!  It sure was cold when Stevie went out to the bus this morning.  The high’s today was 26 degrees.  It was so warm the snow was melting and we didn’t need to use the heat in the car!  I never thought that 26 degrees would feel warm to me!!  It was so ‘warm’ that Stevie didn’t want to wear his jacket!! LOL I guess that’s what happens when you get so used to being in the single digits.

We are still trying to find ourselves in Maine.  I’m not going to lie and say that the transition from the city to   a small town has been easy.  There is absolutely no work up here unless you travel 45 minutes to Lincoln or 1 hour to Bangor.  With the winters the way they are I can’t imagine traveling.  Its a good thing that Keith is able to create websites for those that need one.  Its also a good thing that he can do this at night after he’s worked on the apartment upstairs. 

The kids love it up here.  Stevie LOVES his school, teacher’s and new friends.  I love the support that he’s been getting.  He is recieving speech and occupational therapy as well as extra help with reading/comprehension.  He is still hard to understand however I notice a big difference in his speech. 

Alexis and Trevor are beginning to be a handful.  Trevor is at the ‘strange’ age.  I don’t remember my other 2 going through this stage.  He gets a big sad face and starts crying the minute someone tries talking to him.  I had to take him to the doctor the other day for his second round of shots as well as an ear infection follow-up.  The second he saw the doctor he started crying.  He clawed the heck out of me when the doctor was trying to look in his ears.  He was very upset when I had to lay him down on the table so the nurses could give him his shots.  While I was getting him dressed he was pointing his finger at me and was yelling angerily at me.  As we were walking out he stopped at the nurses station and pointed his finger at them and yelled, “TWO TWO TWO”!  I used 1-2-3 Magic with the kids for discipline and I’ve been counting a lot for Alexis lately (terrible twos).  HAHAHA
