Well its been awhile, but I need to update this! I was supposed to be going back to school this fall, however because of Calvin's biting at school, he was asked to leave. I work at the daycare he attends so I was a little heartbroken. I told my bosses that I wouldn't be able to work there and pay for daycare elsewhere. They're working with me and going to see how Calvin is doing in January and decide if he'll be able to stay for good. It's a little confusing cause he is allowed to come into work with me if I'm needed on the days I was supposed to have class, and lately its been like everyday! But I am enjoying my time away from work. Getting the opportunity to spend more time with him and hang out with my family is a definite plus.

My husband Derek leaves for Navy boot camp in January. He recently left his main job a few weeks ago to spend more time with us. He still works at the grocery store around the corner at night. I have mixed feelings about the whole Navy thing. I am not too fond of moving...and not knowing where I am going. Plus its a lot of change for a little boy! We agreed that we would wait until I was done getting my Bachelor's degree before moving the family with him.
Fall in upstate NY is absolutely beautiful! It came all of a sudden and just about every tree is a lovely shade of red, orange and green. Halloween is coming up, and this year HAS to be better than last year! (You'll remember Calvin had shingles on Halloween) Calvin will be into it a little more. He is really into dinosaurs and I found a dragon costume on Ebay. It looks like a dinosaur and he loves it! We've gone apple picking a few times, I've posted pics below. They are also on facebook (my new addiction) so sorry for the repeats if you've already seen them!

Calvin's speech has really improved! It is easier to understand him now and he is using his words more to ask for things, and dealing with certain situations. He still has a little bit more to go to catch up to where he should be, but he is really into therapy and his therapist is just awesome!

I believe that's it for right now! I'm going to try and update this thing at least monthly!
