That evening we attended Christmas Eve mass in Argyle. Both the boys did fantastic. Of course, Weston was happy as long as we kept letting him have his snack puffs. He would probably eat a whole can at once if we let him. But if you have read the nutritional facts, there is only 25 calories for 78 snacks. I need to start taking them to work to nibble on :)</div>

It was midnight before we made it to bed. Next year Santa needs to wrap the presents before Christmas eve. It may have helped if <strike>Andy</strike>, Santa's Elf would have helped instead of sitting on the couch watching movies :)</div>

Last week we received a special box in the mail from my Dad and Step-Mom in Nebraska. In years past (since Hunter was born) we would go up there around the beginning of December to visit my family. This year we weren't able to make the trip because I had already cashed in my one Monday or Friday I am able to take off at work when I took the boys to the Omaha to the zoo. I hate that we didn't get to see the whole family this year, plus we always go to this John Deere dealership to see Santa and their amazing gift shop!</div>

It is an evening parade that is really neat because the <strike>floats</strike> trucks/trailers are all lit up, plus Santa is at the end rounding up the parade. Santa then goes into the courthouse where the kids get in line to tell them what they want for Christmas.<br />
<br />
This year ended up being more eventful then I could imagine. While waiting for the parade I was standing next to our banks booth who was handing out hot chocolate. As I was talking to people, I could see Hunter dancing in the lights over at the DJ stand. I heard someone say, "here they come." I turned around to see the parade was starting. I turned back around to go get Hunter so we could find a place to watch...and he was gone!<br />
<br />
I didn't initially panic because I figured he just got in line with the rest of the kids to watch the parade. But I didn't see him. I walked along the group of people on our side of the road, and still no Hunter. Andy then went to the other side of the road and walked. I began to get more and more anxious. It was becoming clear he wasn't there...but where could he have gone. Before I knew it the parade was over and Hunter was still gone. I went into the courthouse and made my way through the line of people waiting for Santa. But he wasn't there. At that point there was a lot of people looking for him. As I was rushing around searching for him, people kept asking if I had found him, I would just shake my head "no" and not make eye contact because I was on the edge of losing it and was trying to suppress the tears welling up in my eyes. <br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
After what seamed like forever, my sister-in-law found him. He ended up being around on the other side of the courthouse. At that point I didn't know whether to hug him or spank him. But it was clear, he didn't know he had done anything wrong. He knew where he was the whole time! This kid will be the death of me!</div>

We ended up missing the whole parade. Amongst searching for Hunter I remembered that Tina had asked me to take pictures of G&W's float. So at one point I just happened to look up and see their float and quickly grabbed my camera and snapped a shot. But that is all I got of that parade.</div>

The sucky part of working out of town means I am not closely and/or easily available to my kids. With Hunter's speech therapy, it has required me to rely on other people to get him to and from speech. My mother-in-law (who works at the school) has graciously volunteered to go pick Hunter up at daycare and bring him to the school for his therapy. We've timed it right that shortly after his therapy the preschool bus arrives to take home the morning students, thus taking Hunter back to daycare. It works great!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But, I HATE it! I want to be there for my son. I want to take him to and from therapy. I wanted to see him get on the school bus for the first time. (He has been excited for this moment...forever). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Corney as it is, I was able to get my brother-in-law (who also works at the school) to take pictures of Hunter's first time getting on the bus. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

UGH....I wanted to be there so bad!!!</div>

Hunter has recently began speech therapy at the school. I have been concerned about his speech for quite awhile. I took him last year to the school to be evaluated by the speech pathologist. We were there for only about 20 minutes, and about all she had to say was "He's three." Ok? So we left with no answers other than his speech will possibly flourish as he ages.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here we are a year later with the same concerns, if not more. I can't help as a parent compare the development of my own children to those around us. It was apparent to me I could hold a better conversations with many 2-3 year olds better than I could with my 4 year old son.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While Hunter would pronounce words wrong, he also couldn't form long sentences, as well as when you would ask him a question, he couldn't seem to comprehend what you were asking him and therefor come up with an off the wall answer. I feel like I am his translator when we are around other people who don't understand him or when they ask him a question, I tend to rephrase it for him so that he will understand what they said. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I re-contacted the Special Services at the school and requested additional and more extensive testing on him. The speech pathologist is only in Vienna twice a month, and of course she had just been there before I contacted them, so we had to wait nearly a month to get in.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hunter was so excited to go to school. Here he is patiently waiting for the "fun" to begin.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The testing was supposed to take about an hour. We were there for 2 1/2!!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The following week I went in for a meeting to discuss the results.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He was found to have a <a href="http://www.minddisorders.com/Ob-Ps/Phonological-disorder.html"><span style="color: red;">phonological disorder</span></a> and an <a href="http://www.minddisorders.com/Del-Fi/Expressive-language-disorder.html"><span style="color: red;">expressive language disorder</span></a>. I felt he had more of a <a href="http://www.minddisorders.com/Kau-Nu/Mixed-receptive-expressive-language-disorder.html"><span style="color: red;">receptive language problem</span></a>, but he tested well in that department (but I don't think it is accurate because I believe a 1 year old could have completed what she asked of him on this particular test). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Therefor, he was finally approved for speech services. He will go twice a week for 30 minutes. Right now they are going to focus on the phonological (articulation). They feel once he does better at that then, possibly the expressive language will begin to develop. So we will see.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I pray so hard that the speech therapy will be successful and he will flourish and be back up to par with the rest of his peers by the time he starts school. It breaks my heart to see him struggle. A speech and language problem effects so much of his life and his ability to learn new things.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know it could be so much worse. He is a healthy boy and I am beyond grateful for that. </div>

A couple weeks ago, I helped host a baby shower for my brother and his wife Annelise. They are expecting a baby boy in December...well that is when he is due. But looks like he will possibly be making an earlier appearance :)</div>

I couple weeks ago, me and the boys traveled nearly 400 miles to visit my dad and step-mom in Omaha, Nebraska. Andy had to work that Friday, so he was unable to go along. So I put my patience to the test and packed up the boys and headed off alone. I can't lie, I was pretty nervous. The week before, the check engine light came on in my Jeep, luckily it was just a faulty gas cap and then the day before we left my Jeep wouldn't start and I had to get it jumped. Ended up I just needed a new battery. I began to wonder if these were signs for me not to go. Knowing that Andy would not be with us if something would happen along the way was making me anxious, I had my most precious cargo solely in my hands. I ended up purchasing Roadside Assistance and Rental Car Coverage in the event the Jeep decided to crap out on me along the way....and off we went :)</div>

I was unsure of how long it would take for us to get there because pretty well the only schedule we were on was Weston's. We stopped three times on the way up there for feedings, diaper changes, gas, etc. We made it there in about 8 hours. I thought that was about right.</div>

We had such a great trip. The boys did fantastic!! Especially on the way home. We only had to stop once. Therefore it only took us 6.5 hours. There may have been a little more led in my foot as well. </div>

The other night I was working on the computer and I had my external hard drive hooked up. My drive holds every picture I have taken since 2008. This particular drive has to be plugged into the computer by a USB cable and plugged into the wall outlet. While I was working, Hunter came running past and tripped over the cord causing my drive to crash onto the ground. I completely panicked fearing I had lost all of my pictures. Luckily I plugged the drive back in and it worked. </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
This drive is priceless to me. I can't leave my house without putting it in our safe for fear of fire or theft (I work in insurance, this is where my mind is at 24/7). So why I have never "backed up" my photos is a question I keep asking myself.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Even though my drive still worked, I was paranoid of losing those pictures so I went and bought another external hard drive. I started coping all my pictures over. I have them all sorted by years. I started with 2008 and worked up. I was on my last folder "2012" when it started acting funny, so I clicked "cancel" and that was it...my drive will no longer show up on my computer.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
I searched for help in every direction on what to do. I was instructed to take it to a computer shop in a neighboring town. Andy dropped it off and on Friday they called to say they were unable to retrieve any of my files. (Insert Breakdown Here). I was hysterical. These are all the pictures of the first 6 months of Weston's life...GONE!!! How could I be so stupid to not back all these pictures up prior. </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
But then it came to mind that they guy said they couldn't retrieve the files because it wouldn't show up on their computer either. No Crap!!! But that was it, they didn't try anything else. I did research online for any other option. There is clearly something wrong with my drive and it needs broken down and hopefully fixed. There was two companies I contacted to see if they could help. In the end, I am going to 24 Hour Data Recovery. They have a 99% success rate to recover files and the tech on the phone was sooo helpful and reassuring. Unfortunately, it is going to cost us between $750 and $2,000!!! Yes, you read that right. CRAZY!!!! Depending on how much extensive work needs done on the drive to get it back working to get my files off. If they can't help me then clearly there is no cost.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
So tomorrow, I am off to Fedex to ship off my drive for one last hope of recovering my photos. Fingers, toes, legs and eyes all crossed!!!</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
I beg you all right now to go buy an additional drive and back up all those precious price-less pictures you have. You do not want to be in my position!!</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Side Note: My drive was a 1TB. Apparently this is really big. I only had about 50 GB of photos. So the cost to recover my photos is based off of that my drive has a 1TB capacity because files are not saved on the drive as organized as I viewed them. So they literally have to go through all 1TB to find my 50 GB of data. So when you go by a drive, it isn't necessary to buy such a large one and in the event you ever have to have data recovered, it will be cheaper for you. Just saying.</div>

Last Saturday, we celebrated Hunter's 4th birthday in Columbia. We went to Bonkers. Which if you don't know, is a huge indoor play arena full of tunnels, slides, obstacles and more. It is like Burger King's play area times 10!! All the kids seemed to have a really great time.</div>

I've linked up with Jeannett with <a href="http://liferearranged.com/">Life.Rearranged</a> for an Insta-Friday. Pictures through out your week, but through the eye of your cell phone. I tried to use my Instagram App, but apparently my iPhone is too old for that app to work anymore. So plain old cell phone pictures is what you get!</div>

Today I got the pleasure of taking both boys to the doctor for their check ups. Hunter's 4yr Appt and Weston's 6 month Appt. Talk about a chore! The nurses were really great at helping balancing the process between the two of them. That was until it was time for shots. Hunter got three shots and Weston got two. DRAMA! In less than a minute, both boys had their shots and then both nurses were gone. There I was in a small doctor's office with two screaming boys!! AGH!! Of course Weston quickly recovered from the trauma, but Hunter spent the rest of the day limping around and pouting. </div>

Every once in awhile I would cut it pretty short and or grow it out my natural hair color. Which is dull brown color. I have been really wanting to do something different. So, I did!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I tried to find a before picture. But I am usually the one behind the camera, so I didn't have much of a selection. But here you go. This pictures was taken in May so it had grown out quite a bit since then.</div>

After one day, I can tell people don't recognize me in town. And at work customers keep taking a second look before realizing it is me. Before long, they will all forget what I looked like as a blonde!</div>

This morning I went and woke Hunter up and wished him a Happy Birthday. He proceeded to ask me if Santa brought him some presents. I said no, it wasn't Christmas and that he would get his presents tonight. The look of disappointment flooded his face. That was until he walked down the hallway to the stairs and looked down into our living room where Andy and I had blown up 20 balloons and had them spread everywhere, as well as some Happy Birthday signs. Hunter loved it! He kept telling me "Thank You Mommy, Thank You!!" If only I had known he was going to be completely content with some balloons, I could have saved some money on his present. Who am I kidding??? I still would have got him something.</div>

It was finally due for Weston to get his haircut. Ok, maybe he was a little over due. He was rocking some long hair on top that had to be swept to the side. His hair was the absolute definition of a comb over. He also had some long hair on the side that had some curl in them. We referred to to them as his "devil horns"</div>

My brother-in-law, Abe was deployed to Afghanistan just days before Weston was born. Even while on the other side of the world, we asked him to be Weston's godfather. He may not have been able to attend his baptism, but we are happy for him to guide Weston for the rest of his life. Abe just recently returned home and tonight Weston finally got to meet him :)</div>

Lets do a quick catch up on some highlights that have went on the last 11 Months and 17 Days since my last post. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We finally finished the construction of our house! Yay! Just days before Christmas. The decorating is still a work in process. I am overwhelmed with many ideas from Pinterest. Plus the need for family pictures to incorporate in the decorating.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

That is all the major eventful things that have gone on (that I can think of). I will probably elaborate more on some of these events at a later time while it is fresh in my mind so we can go back and look at how far we have come.</div>

While free time to write tends to be pretty scarce, there are many reason's why I should continue. <br />
<ul>
<li>I love looking back at my prior post. It is like an online scrapbook. Especially seeing Hunter as a baby and remembering the everyday little details of our life.</li>
<li>We have a lot of family out of state and this blog is a great way for them to feel as if they are here with us on a daily basis.</li>
<li>Not to mention the demand! I get numerous messages from people wanting me to start the blog back up. I never realized my son leaving a poop trail across my carpet would make this blog so popular :)</li>
</ul>
Soooo, that is it....it is official! <br />
