Fall is flying by!

I just don't seem to have as much time as I used to, gee, I wonder why?! In October we celebrated birthdays of our youngest 2. Nicholas had a My Gym party with a few friends. While it was not a disaster, it was a bit stressful because Nicholas still has a hard time with group structured activities. He did love the free play time and having all the attention. He has been on a gluten free diet since the summer so we ended up ordering a cupcake birthday cake and I made some gluten free cupcakes and was able to use extra frosting to stick one in for him.

Claire celebrated her 6th birthday with a special tea party for several friends. She had been asking for this kind of party for at least 2 years so she thoroughly enjoyed her party, big smiles the whole time!

The girls are doing great in school, they received glowing remarks from their teachers at the end of the first quarter. Claire needs to improve her handwriting and her talking (too much), but overall, her teacher said she is doing great. Olivia is a model student and growing up too fast. Nicholas is improving so much, we owe much of this to his weekly social skills class and lots of hard work.

So happy to hear that everybody is thriving and that you've been too busy to blog! If it makes you feel any better about N's group activities - at Miras's gymboree party, Miras refused to do any group activities and even to play alone at his own party. All he would do is hang on me and cry if I tried to encourage him to do something else. A little embarassing that the birthday boy was a "no show"... but what can you do. At least all the other kids had a great time. And I love the additional photos too - looks like all your cuties are having a great time.
