What's going on...

What's going on with the Holloways today. Well, actually a lot. Monday marked the end of an era. Andrew graduated from The Little School. I actually handled it okay. Not too many tears. I can't believe that it has been a year since stressed and lost sleep over whether or not to send him to Kindergarten. This year it's completely different. I know he is ready. He has so much more confidence, and he's so excited about school.

Matthew has one week of school left, and he is ready. These last few weeks are such a waste. There's no learning going on there. The teachers are just as anxious to get out as the kids. Matthew's friend Zack came over today for a playdate after school, and they are playing the Star Wars Lego video game. (I've grown to despise that game.)

Ryan...my sweet little Ryan. He turned 2 last week, and is bringing us so much joy. Right now he and Andrew are visiting their grandparents, so the house has been very quiet. Ryan's big news is that he failed his hearing screening last week at his 2 year old check up. We'll be taking him to a specialist next week, and I'm anxious about the results. It's amazing to me because I know he can hear. He talks very plainly, and responds to noises, us calling his name, follows directions, etc., so I can't imagine that he's having a hard time hearing.

Chris had to go to the doctor yesterday. He's arm and shoulder have been hurting for several weeks. He was playing baseball witht he boys a few weeks ago, and somehow threw the ball funny and it started hurting. Turns out there's more than his shoulder hurting. Most of the pain and numbness are coming from a bulging disc in his neck that is pinching a nerve. Friday he'll have an epidural procedure to hopefully relieve the pain.

That leaves me...I'm hanging in. Actually, I feel very blessed to live in this chaos.
