I was told to update my blog...lol

I know a lot of you catch up on friends through their blogs, so I decided that I would update everyone on our family. Things are going great so far this new year. Kahlan is getting stronger everyday, and she only has a couple more surgeries to have done this year. She will have to have a lazy eye surgery sometime in March or April, and then after that she will have her central line removed after they do some more Mri's and other scans to make sure the cancer is not growing back. She is also getting some developmental help for physical therapy and speech therapy.

Samantha will be starting kindergarten in August, and she is more than ready to start. It is so amazing how much they absorb and learn each day. Its amazing to me how fast they grow. Samantha acts like she is 10 and she is only 4 and a half. She is definitely my little helper.

Alexander is developing almost faster than Sammie, even though he is almost a year younger. He is my little tender heart and love his sisters so much. He is always talking about how he is going to take care of Sammie, Kahlan and the new baby girl. He is also ready to get out and start pre-school or some kind of social activity.

Albert is enjoying his new job and is gone a lot, but it is nice to have him home with us each night! It has been great being together as a family, we really have missed out being a family for a year while Kahlan received her cancer treatments.

As for me, I am 25 weeks along in this pregnancy. We are excited that we are having another girl. We were hoping for a boy, but we are just happy to finally finish having our kids. I am still busy taking Kahlan to all of her doctor appointments, but other than that it has been awesome being in our own place! We are just getting back into a regular routine and we are happy that things are working out so well!

I'm so glad for the update! It's good to hear Kahlan is almost done with surgeries. I don't know how you keep up with all the appointments. I can't believe Sammy's starting kindergarten... she's going to do great. She has such a fun social personality! Hope the pregnancy is going well... I'd love to see a preggo shot! Much love!
