Liam's appointment went great at the eye doctor. He was amazing. It is so suprising to me how well he is doing. Sometimes I forget that he has only been with us for two months. He just fits right in. Him and Estella have been really cute together. They were kissing and hugging yesterday at the grocery store and it was so cute. Liam is such a lover. He loves to give and get hugs and kisses. He is starting to talk more and more. Also he is getting more comfortable wth his grand parents and aunts and uncles. He loves both of his cousins and knows their names. It is so cute when he sees them and says ther names. My oldest neice, Olivia, has been great with him. He just adores her and loves it when she comes over to play. Liam is growing like a weed, more up then out. We are excited for his appointment on the 4th to see just how much he has changed. September is a big month for us. Liam starts preschool and daycare. Estella is going back to daycare after a long haitus. They are only going three days a week. Liam starts gymnastics and Estella starts Ballet. Estella is so excited. She cannot wait. Lets see what else has been going on. Liam has been going to the golf course with Adrian and he loves every minute of it. They think he is so cute there. He rides in the cart and hits the ball with his putter. I was afraid he would just run around, but Adrian says he is really good. Oh how could I forget when went to the Cornish Fair last weekend. The kids loved it. Liam makes Estella more daring. She is normally a little reserved about rides, but with him she just goes right a long. Liam on the other hand has no fear and will try anything once. The went on all of the rides, and did the pony rides twice. They had so much fun. We did not get them to bed until almost 10pm and then they both slept until 9:30 the next day. What a good break for mommy. I am going to try and post some picture if not here, check the other website. Thanks for all that keep reading. Lindsay are you out there? Sarah

We are all starting to feel normal again. I am not sure for Laim, but the rest of us. He is getting a new normal. Adrian is back to work full time and we are making arrangmens for Laim to start preschool and then for him and Estella to go to day care 3 days a week. We are so nervous, Liam does not fully understand danger and is too curious for his own good most of the time. I have explained our situation to the day care provider and his preschool. Today is a big day as we are going to the eye doctor. We are anxious to hear what she has to say. This morning we had all four of us in the bed by 6 am. Very unusual for us, but when I looked over and say my whole family it made me so happy. Liam is making gains every day and we as a family are making gains everyday. He nomrally only cries for Adrian, whihc he call Daddy, but not normally for mommy. But this week he cried when I gave him to my sister in law so I could go to work. It made me really happy. We both feel that he is attaching to our family. Estella and Liam spend their entre day together and when either one of them is somewhere else they other is asking for them. Estella is always saying where is Liam and Liam always looks at me and goes Estella? It is so cute. Liam has been trying to talk more and Estella has been such a good model for him. He will come up to me and rattle off a bunch of "words" and I wish I knew what he is trying to say. It is so cute though. I smile at him and he just goes on playing. Liam is so happy most of the time. He still gets really mad when it is time to stop playing and time for bed. But we just ignore his crying and transition to the next activity. He is becoming more cuddly as well. he is starting to slow down a little bit. I think he is realizing that there is always time to play. He will sit on the couch and cuddle and then get down and play. He is getting calmer and easier to handle. Which has been nice for me, since when I get home from work. I need a few minutes to relax and Estella and I would cuddle, now all three of us cuddle. They are both very cute. Well I need to get everyone up, at least I only have to go to one place.

We just got back form Maryland. This was our first family vacation with Liam. We went down for my cousins wedding. Liam was the hit of the wedding. He danced the night away. He was so funny. We could not get him off the dance floor. We would dance with anyone. It was so cute. We danced him self silly and fell asleep right away as soon as he got in the car. By the end of the weekend everyone knew who he was. We also took him and Estella to there first red sox game. It was so hot, but the kids were good and I am not sure if they really watched the game. But Adrian was so excited to be at a game. Liam loves golf, so Adrian took him with him when we played with Liam's uncles and grandpa. Adrian said Laim had the time of his life. He had his little clubs and loved hitting the ball around and watching other people hit the ball. The weekend did not start off that great. We drove down and the kids where pretty good. When we got to the hotel, Liam with his obsession to close all doors, shut Estella's toe in the door and then the drama began. She hurt her toe pretty bad, but after about an hour was able to put pressure on it and walk. Liam got into everything while we were attending to Estella. He turned the air conditioner to heat, turned on the micorwave and kept putting things in and out of the fridge. He has a hard time sitting still and is very busy. He will not stay in a chair and rarley just sits dwon. He goes all day. Boys have so much more energy then girls. i do not know how he is going to do at preschool. He gets into everything and we have to watch him like a hawk. He will go up to anybody and would go with anyone. He has no saftey skills. If he wants something and thinks that one person over the other will give it to him, he will just go with that person, even if they are a stranger. I am getting really nervous since he is starting preschool and then will be going to daycare, three days a week starting in September. I am afriad that he will wander off. Well I have to go to work. I will post more pictures soon. Thanks Sarah

We are going along here. Liam went to the urologist and is going to have simple surgery in September. We are happy it is going to be simple. The doctor said it will be day surgery. Liam went to PT as well and she said he is looking great. She feels like he has made a lot of progress. We were happy with that news as well. Liam has put on a pound and a half and 2 inches. It is amazing. We have had some struggles. He gets really upset when he does not get his way. He just cries and it is so sad. He is also starting to test. He knows he is not supose to touch my lap top and he will stand beside it and look at me and touch it and I will say and motion to step away. Which I know he understands. He will stand there with this look on his face and wait for me to get up and come over. As soon as I get up he will move away. Then I sit back down and he touches it again. Oh toddlers. Estella and Liam are getting a long great. Tough since Estella is more verbal than him she will say thngs to him, just to be mean. Yesterday we went for a walk and we went by a playground. I said we were not going to go. Of course Liam starts crying. Estella starts saying to him, Liam momy said no, no swings, no slide. Of course he is crying more. I have to tell her to stop, it is amazing that she is just doing it to be mean. I am like who's daughter is this. I never taught her to be mean. I guess it just comes naturally to her. Wonderful. Well other than toddlers being toddlers, things are going great. I do not feel scared to death when I am left with them by myself. I feel like I can handle it. I do not worry when we leave them with a baby sitter as much. Adrian and I actually went to Boston over night and did not see them for 22 hours. It was so hard, but Laim did great, better than Estella who normally wil not go to bed, but eventually she does and she did. Next weekend we are driving to maryland to go to my cousin's wedding. Now that should be intresting. 9 hour car ride with the two of them. We will see.
