Chatting it up

It is no secret that I have been busy lately.  I had a flair that began on Mothers Day and lasted over a week and then for several days afterwards I was in recovery mode.  This past week I have been feeling good and trying to get my house back in order.  Gabe's grades are coming back up.  Last week we worked on his final book report for the year.  Lucas has become so much more vocal lately and has become a little mimic, repeating what we say.  He is not always clear but I have become fluent on Lucas Speak!  His vocabulary is growing and he surprises us with his new words constantly.  Leo and I are always filled with pride when someone besides us is able to understand what Lucas is saying.  A few days ago we had one of those moments when one of Lucas' previous teachers had the chance to hear Lucas and understand him.  It was a very touching moment, one we will always remember. 

I never want life to pass by in a total blur.  That is why I love taking random pictures of the kids and the occasional video of Lucas talking to us.  It is not always easy capturing his verbal moments because he doesn't like to sit still to talk while I record him.  As you can tell when you watch the YouTube video's I post!
