Hello.......Is anyone still out there????

I have lots of pictures to post but those will have to wait for a different post. Desi is doing great!!! She is about to finish Pre-K in a couple of weeks and we have seen such amazing changes in her. Her teachers have both told me how far she has come socially, academically and even physically. All I keep hearing from them is how much they are going to miss her next year and how much joy she brings to their day. I'm sure it has to do with the fact that our child smiles....all day....literally. Well, that is unless Jenna ticks her off about something and then.....wow.....she has got one hot little temper!!! LOL We have seen progress in her speech, although it is obvious to anyone that knows her, she has a long way to go. Her language skills are off the chart, but she talks so fast and is a little lazy (in my opinion)that she will not pronounce her blend sounds correctly and has gotten into the habit of not finishing the words. You kind of get the middle part. Jenna has become a pro at translating and I can pick up quite a bit of it, but Steve still says he can't hardly understand anything she says. We are currently looking for a speech therapist for the new school year and one of Devan's friends is going to work with her this summer. We are hopeful that individual therapy sessions will produce some better results. One thing is for sure....she is READY for Kindergarten and cannot wait for the new school year to start :-) Devan graduates college this Saturday, May 11th. We are still in shock that the past 4 years have gone by so fast. She has applied for an internship with a business magazine in Little Rock. Unless they offer her something that she can't refuse, Devan has plans that will take her out of the country for almost all of 2014. It's called the World Race and she applied a few weeks ago. She will find out during the summer if she's been accepted or not. We are trusting that God has a plan and we will support her in whatever decision she makes. Jordan is finishing up her Junior year in high school. She is taking the ACT and we are planning all these college visits. She'll be getting senior pictures made this summer and getting ready for her last year at Benton High School before heading off to college. So hard to think that in a little over a year we will only have TWO children in the house. How in the heck did that happen??? LOL Jenna, well, she continues to do her thing. She's finishing up 3rd grade and each week gets closer and closer to her back handspring in gymnastics. One week she will almost have it and then the next week, she struggles again. It's been very frustrating for her but I know she will get it soon. She will definitely be one happy girl when it finally happens. Summer is just around the corner and it's already shaping up to be a busy one. Aside from college visits, we have Family Farm (Christian Day Camp), Vacation Bible School and vacation in Gulf Shores!!! Yeah, we're all looking forward to vacation :-) Hopefully I will be better at updating this blog when I am at home more this summer. Pictures coming soon!!!!
