I have never been so frustrated...I could pull my own hair. For the last few weeks. I have not been able to download pictures on my blog. It will not let me browse my files and select them like I always have. I keep sending feedback to Google but don't get a response. I have looked at and tackled all the suggestions in their forum when you have issues downloading pictures. Sigh....any advice out there? I even downloaded Picassa so I can select pictures from there but it won't let me unless a make my Picassa pictures into web albums for all to see. I'm not doing that.
So here I sit after finally straightening things out a month or so ago, and buying monthly blog space for more photos, and now I can't download them. Grrrrr.....I mean ROAR!!!
Please bear with me.

Gift Opening
What? more lego.
Emma got her first dolly.
Isaac got some trains.
Pretty spoiled in this house especially by Nana and Papa who bought the kids a WII. It has been great for all of those -30 windchill days over the holidays.
Concert Night
So we all got dressed up and headed to the church for the annual Christmas concert.
Brothers having fun in front of the tree.
Emma actually stayed awake for the whole concert and sat really good on Grandma's lap. Isaac, on the other hand, was a bit more work.
Sam, hiding from his Mama who loves taking pictures.
Andrew looking pretty serious and pretty tired. It was a great concert but our boys are always so sleepy. They are used to going to bed at 7:30 and that's when the concert starts. They were also up at 6am that day to play hockey. I think Andrew yawned as much as he sang.

Christmas Prep
Having lots of weekend fun these days getting ready for Christmas. Only 4 days of school left till teh holidays and we are so looking forward to a break.
Family Time @Birds of Prey
Our family has been spending lots of time down the street, at Birds of Prey lately. Well, mostly Ken and the three oldest while Mom walks over with Isaac and Emma to see how things are going. The boys love exploring the islands as much as they enjoy the skating part. It is so awesome to have this close by and we can't wait to spend more time there over Christmas!

This brings us to today with all of Isaac's appointments. We still don't have a specific diagnosis if there even will be something to diagnose. What we have learned since my previous post which I had originally written in early November, is that he had fluid blocking his middle ear and that tubes would be recommended by the ENT. During his surgery they would also snip his tongue tie which may, or may not impact how well he speaks. This surgery was done On November 30. We have seen some improvements already but we are keeping a close eye on him and starting weekly speech therapy sessions at home this week. Hopefully his hearing was the issue with the delayed speech which may have impacted a lot of the other odd behaviors we were seeing.
Today I met with his pediatrician along with the infant preschool educator and it was a comforting appointment. Autism, has for the most part, been mostly ruled out based on his social interaction and awareness. His scores on recent autism screenings were not perfect but didn't cause too much alarm. We are meeting again January 28 to discuss how speech therapy is going and to see how he is progressing. In the meantime we are looking forward to only having speech therapy for appointments this month and the bonus is that the speech therapist will come to our house. Huge sigh...
