Mood:  lucky

Okay, so I finally got around to taking some new pictures.  Well I should say that I'm finally getting around to POSTING new pictures, as they've been on my camera for a few days.... 

Here's Blake on the 8th at dinner!  He was just too cute in this picture and he was at long last cooperating with the camera!! 

And here he is a few minutes ago playing Guitar Hero!!  Yes, I finally broke down and bought the game!  Bad mom, I know!  lol  Sarah's the only one who hasn't got to hold the guitar, but more about that later:

Blake is doing really good.  Not too much new to report on him.  He's still looking forward to the move and can't wait to start karate, which for some reason he believes he can only do in Japan!  lol  But it's what got him excited about moving, so I'm not correcting him until we get there! 

Sarah's next, cause we're doing it in order of age today...  She's doing great!  As I said before their speach was evaluated and when we got the first set of results, she was at a 17 month level.  Well, the indepth evaluation was completed and Sarah is now at a 22 month old level!!  Weird, since she hardly talked for the therapist on the day that she came!!!  But yesterday, when they came to give the full results, Sarah wouldn't shut up!!  lol 

Here's Sarah at dinner on the 8th.  It was the girls' first time with black olives, so of course we had to put them on all their fingers! 

And this afternoon with her "Gover"...  She can't quite make out Grover yet, so she just leaves off the r! 

So, you remember how I said Sarah was the only one who hadn't gotten to hold the guitar?  Well, normally we wouldn't have let Samantha either, but while 4 of us were finishing up dinner, Samantha wandered into the living room where the guitar was sitting against the tv or on the couch - whereever Jake left it at the time!  She was freaking out, so we went to find out what was wrong, and luckily the camera was sitting right there:

And here's Samantha at dinner:

So Samantha was also tested, and she was at a 23 month level with her speach!  Which is VERY weird because she speaks WAY less than her sister, but when Michelle was here testing them, Mantha never shut up!  Just like her huh?  I guess she figured she needed to prove herself, but Sarah thought that she had no need!  Anyway, here's Samantha with Oscar the Grouch:
 

Yes, she was crying!!  Poor little girl!

Okay, I've got to go get ready for work now.  I meant to type more, but I ran outta time!
