A *real* entry now...

Real quick, let me say thanks to the couple of folks that signed up on the Netwinner!  It's been down for maintenance off/on today, but it's worth it!  I keep it minimized, play as I can.  Anywho, thanks again :)

Now for *real* news...lol.  Brandon had his 6 month appt yesterday.  He's such a big boy!  He weighed in at 21lbs 10ozs (granted, they don't undress, so off a few ounces), and 27 inches long!  He's the light of our family...when any of us are having a bad day, we just look at him and he gives us that big toothless smile-it's amazing :*)

Kaitlynne got her progress report, and she's doing so well!  She brought her math grade up to a C (started out an F...it's by far her hardest subject), and the rest was all A's, B's and E's and S's!  My mom kept her overnight Saturday and they had fun together as a reward...we're going to do something with her this weekend (I'm thinking we'll go see Happy Feet).  I have started having her pulled out for added help in math, but I'm happy to see her put forth her best effort on her own...definitely proud of her!  She's had a rough few days this week with her behaviors/moods, but today she seemed to try a bit harder to control them.  She should be starting her new counseling soon, as soon as I stop playing phone tag with them.

Other then that, we're just plugging along like everyone else.  I cleaned out the closet in the baby's room the other day (going to sell some of Brandon's clothes, since he's outgrowing everything so quickly).  I was doing fine, going thru this and that...using all the energy I had to avoid the left side of the closet.  The left side has a large garbage bag of baby girl clothes...I remember buying each and every item in that bag.  I remember picturing her wearing it when I did.  The left side has a box of keepsakes...all that's left of a shattered dream.  I only held it off for so long, before I broke down...hard.  I haven't cried like that for her in some time...usually have a little boy smiling at me to remind of the gift she gave us.  This time, I didn't.  I had nothing but a clean right side, and an untouched left side.  2 years later, and the pain is still just as fresh as the day we found out...
