Update

The boys are doing really well! We had a little "cool" spell here in Tulsa, so we enjoyed a couple of days at the park and taking some walks. They have still enjoyed the pool though and Owen has become quite the little swimmer! He only had four sessions of swimming lessons and the difference is amazing! He's a fish!
Nate has his communication device back and it now has internet access. He played on it some yesterday with his teacher and speech therapist and we found a website that he LOVES! It's very fun and educational - http://www.starfall.com/. He's also still "talking", mostly telling us his favorite tv show (spongebob) and his favorite movie (Jonah).
Owen went to the dr. this week to have a little lump checked out in his neck. Turns out it's just a normal lymphnode. (Crazy, worried parents right!). We also had his ears checked because his left ear had failed a hearing test done by his speech therapist. It does have a little fluid on it, so we have to keep an eye on that. No infection yet, but if it doesn't come out in 90 days, we might be looking at tubes. This is probably the reason he's delayed in speaking. However, I swear his hearing is perfect. He hears things I don't. Maybe his right ear is super power hearing??? LOL.
Well, I'm off to Kansas City tomorrow to see my brother and sister-in-law. First time I've been gone overnight in 4 years, so I'm a little nervous (well a lot nervous) about Nathan. But, we have all our nursing shifts covered and Nana (mother-in-law) is coming in to help Trey. I'm sure everything will be fine and hopefully I can relax and have fun. I sure will miss my boys (all three of them!).

Nate turns SIX YEARS OLD soon! We'll have lots of pics!

Thanks for checking in!
