| | It has been awhile since I have blogged and so much has happened.
We got a newer used van that actually seats 8. Yeah!
Elijah had his surgery to get tubes in his ears and his tonsils and adenoids out. That was painful for him and he even had to get admitted back into the hospital for a night after the surgery because he got an infection, but now he can hear and that is an amazing thing. His attitude is so much better and he is so well behaved. I think life is just less frustrating.
The kids all started taking a homeschool P.E. class and the older two are now pretty great swimmers. Yeah!!!
Jedidiah turned 8 and Priya turned 3. Where did that time go?
I have joined a book club and that has been great to have stimulating adult conversations
We have gotten a lot of snow and watched the kids enjoy sledding for the first time in their lives.
We joined the Y and have had so much fun getting back into shape.
We started a garden so we should have some great summer meals.
We started attending a church we feel like we can be a part of which is a great feeling, plus the kids are loving their Sunday School classes and learning a lot.
Life has just been crazy, but good. I feel like I am coming out of a winter fog. A lot of the winter I was home without a vehicle so going out was not even possible but the days we had a vechicle it was just too much work to get the kids all bundled up to go out since only Jedidiah could get his seatbelt on while wearing gloves Now that spring is in the air I am more motivated to get out and feeling more ready to try to make some more friends here in Omaha.
Last week Jedidiah had his evaluation for ASD at the clinic and that went very well. The dr. said we are doing all the right things and that Jedi seemed to be doing great. Then we went to the pediatrician who said she saw marked improvement from the first time she met him. Seriously it has taken his so long to get over the anxieties that life in Nepal put him under. It wasn't until about 2 weeks ago that he started actually missing Nepal. But he had to get rid of the anxiety before he could think fondly of life there. I feel so much less anxious now that he is less anxious as well. Friends were saying a few weeks ago that Silas and I are different people then when we were in Nepal. We seem so much more relaxed and it is true we are more relaxed. We both are enjoying exploring who we are and being able to just be a family without constant distractions.
As great as we are doing we still continue to miss Nepal. Priya found some hair clips the other week as I was doing her hair and they look like the ones Rekha uses so she started cheering, "Yeah Auntie here." and walked around looking for her it was so cute. Thankfully our Nepal family has kept us well supplied with Nepali Dahl and candy so we eat a great Nepali meal once a week on our metal plates although last night Adia said it would taste better if we were sitting on the floor like in Nepal.
