So,it has been so busy around here lately,i have had no time to blog it!

Well where am i going to start??

ok,starting with Jonathans appointment at Syracuse University…we met with his doctor,and after reviewing all the results of the blood work,it turns out that he has “Periodic Fever Syndrome” which IS the diagnosis. Before it was suspected that it was the symptom of something else that was the cause….if that makes any sense.So we had the option to receive a prescription for prednisone,or go with the probiotics,which,we have been doing and have had great results. We chose probiotics…of course. So this opened up a whole new avenue for the doctors,and Jonathan is a “test” patient because if probiotics have the same effect as a steroid treatment,then they can look elsewhere to find the cause of periodic fevers. Now we have to document his fevers and when we give the probiotics. Real fun. Here are a few pictures waiting for the doctor…

The tissue paper kept her occupied!(I think she was pretending she was a nurse!)

Talk about a loooong exhausting day!!

Laura graduated from 5th grade and they had a ceremony at the school,it was so cute!I could tell she felt like such a big girl.I still can’t believe she is going into 6th grade to the middle school! I don’t want her to grow up,i want to freeze time!

I tried to take pictures of the ceremony but it was so dark in the school the flash would make the stage even darker,and since i haven’t figured out for 2 years how to use the camera,the pictures didn’t turn out that great…

Well i do have video,and i made sure i was taping when they announced students who carried a 95 or higher average for the entire year!

 Yes my Laura was one of them…I am so proud of her,she does so well in school,and in everything for that matter,it seems effortless.

Did i mention i am so proud of her?

Jonathan is REALLY excited for school now…he really enjoyed the water fountain!

This is the look he gave me when i asked him if he wants to go to school.A little undecided? I think Mom wants to keep him home as long as possible,and he can sense that!

My older sister Hollys girls Marina and Lexi.

Outside of the school Lexi found a cricket,I made sure they let it go so it didn’t get tortured to death by the boys.They don’t understand if they keep bugs forever,they will die.Still working on that one!

Lexi

Laura Carter and Mason(cousin)Which i just noticed Mason is wearing one of Carters shirts!LOL

Mason,Carter,Laura,Marina,Lexi,and Jonathan

Laura and Carter with their dad who made a surprise visit.(even for me)

i was NOT expecting him here until the weekend!

They are now with their dad in Louisiana for a whole month…(i still regret even saying yes to that,but he IS their dad and they DO miss him.I hope they return safely)So far i have talked to them once a day at least…if not more.I still wake up in the morning expecting them to be in their beds,it’s really hard for me to adjust to them being gone.

My oldest babies…awww i miss them so much!

Thursday night,after the graduation, they were able to make it to the meeting with us before they left with their dad,so i snapped some pictures then.

Saturday we went to a friends house for a picnic…it was a “Thankyou picnic”…Our friend Cathy had broken her leg in the winter and a bunch of our friends gathered together and made meals for them while she was recovering..it was a way for her to say “Thanks” to all of us..sooo sweet!
