Where in the world have we been.

A while back when I began writing this blog, I decided that if things were happening that were negative in nature or were highly emotional that I wouldn't write about it. Hence the break that I took from writing. I had been going through a period of deep loss and transition from having Sarah, moving, and a couple of friends who were dear to me passing away. I used the time to play with my kids, and to spend time just alone with the Lord.
Now that things have taken on more of a positive life. Andrew has been working for The Container Store for the last year, and has been moving up.
 I can now say that taking the leap of faith and moving our family to another state so that Andrew could get a better job was totally worth it.
It was not the easiest of times although in my humble opinion God provided everything we needed (to the last cent). Was it scary and did we ever question this decision daily? Yes.
We had some difficulty finding a church, because a friend of ours felt we should have gone to another church because of it's charismatic nature (because we were used to it). We went there twice and didn't feel like it was "home" (That church died a few months later).  We walked into a church one Sunday and were totally shocked the sign on the building or by it said First Euless Baptist.  We have been there for over a year and although it's a bigger church, it never ever feels big.  We even go to a class on Sunday mornings with other married couples and love it.

Once we got that started. We've begun to make some friends.
Our boys started school and once we had Jonathan transferred to Daniel's school, Jonathan began to excel.
I mean like get on the Honor roll at least every other grading period. Not get on the list of the most injuries because of bullies.  He still falls over his own feet etc, but bullied he has not been (to the extent he was at the other school).
He is learning to love himself as being different, due to the difficulties he has with balance, muscle tone and speech issues.
We are still experiencing issues with Daniel, and although we love him something terrible. We don't like what his teachers are telling us. Until we can catch him in a seizure on video we cannot be treated for it. In fact we were shoo-ed away and told he should be seen by psychiatry.  Only thing is everything in the area for kids is considered out-of-network or only accepts medicaid (which we don't qualify for).... We re researching other avenues for getting him help with our insurance company.
We have discontinued therapy due to their wanting 5,000 for therapy and their refusal to feal with our insurance company. That and I had a suspicion that they weren't really doing anything and He wasn't liking the therapist he had who was mistreating him.
 Since we discontinued therapy outside of school his behavior dramatically improved almost immediately.Like within a week or two.
He has however during this time started to pull himself together. and behave well for his teachers, who are so warn out by the time their second class shows up that they can hardly deal with him when he is in a bad mood..
Sarah has been visited by an early interventionist twice a month.  She did qualify for services, although that whole deal is overloaded to the point where we've been in this system for 4 months and have yet to be seen by a speech therapist or a physical or OT... I figure by the time we get sent to the district for services, they might will have seen her twice. Whoop Tee doo.
 By the time Daniel goes to school every days, Sarah and I get 2.5 hours before we have to go and get the boys from school.
 So that's our life right now. Good bad and otherwise.
