It's been a while!

Boy I dont even know where to start!  Its been months since i've written, life has gotten crazy over the past few months!  Joel is doing amazing!!!  His speech has come so far and hes talking so good.  In complete sentences and able to have back and forth conversations!  I'm just LOVING all the stuff that comes out of his mouth. He makes me laugh daily!  We went to disney for 2 weeks last month. (well april end of march till middle of april)  It was good for the most part.  There were quite a few moments where I wanted to pull my hair out. 2 babies in disney is NOT easy!!  Joel struggled the first half of the week.  He basically cried on every ride, and was having a hard time adjusting to the change in routine, but by the end of the week, he loved the parks, and pretty much every day since we've been home he keeps saying "go to disney store" (which is what he calls disney world.  I have no idea why, i keep telling  him its disney world, not disney store, but he perfers to call it disney store.  I keep telling him that we cant just up and go to there, but he doesnt get it and its been the route of quite a few melt downs since we've been home.  He did amazingly well re-adjusting to being home.  I was a little nervous because after xmas break it took a good 2 weeks to get him back into the swing of things.  But this time he got right back into the swing of things.. other then being in go mode.  Every day he kept saying "lets go bye bye," because while we were there, every day we got up and went somewhere, and our days were filled with go go go!   Disney has whats called a DAC card (disablitly access card)  which allows you to wait outside of the ride.  and use the fast pass lane when your time is up. if rides have less than 15 minute waits it lets you go right on.  it made our time at the parks a little less stressful because he doesnt do well with crowds, standing still and waiting.  we still had a few issues, but all together, he did great, and the card was a blessing.   We have started his transition into pre-school. He ages out of EI in July, and will be starting the summer program for preschool.  Hes already had his speech eval, and he has 2 more next week.  His service coordinater for EI went on maternity leave, and that just made me realize that pretty soon we'll no longer have all these people in our lives.. Its really making me sad.. and kind of stressed!   They have been my support system over the past year and a half and I see them all more then I see my own family.. its going to be so sad when he ages out.   We just bought a house, so I feel good in knowing that were firmly planted here and the kids will grow up in a nice house, and stay in the same school system their whole life.  Life with 2 toddlers is Exhausting and I just keep piling on more and more to my plate!  Joel going to pre school will be bitter sweet for me.  I'm really looking forward to only having one child at home with me.  There is a HUGE difference between having one and two. HUGE!  I'll be able to do so much more with just one.  I started my own boutique, called jazzy kid boutique, check it out! (https://www.facebook.com/jazzykidboutique)  on top of my photography business, and being a mom, Its just sooooo much to do, never enough time in the day!   So im looking forward to him going to school so I can focus more time and energy on working more.  But things are great, Joel's doing amazing, and im hoping and praying that the preschool will be an easy transition for him.  we've gone for a short visit, and he jumped right into the class with the other kids, so I think hes going to do amazing!!   As always, I have 10 million photos to share. since its been so long, there may be more than usual! :o)
