Welcome to my jungle!
no see!
Hi everyone! I hope some of you remember Aly and I. Been thinking of y'all and thought I'd pop in to see how everyone is and give an update on Aly and our family.
Aly is now 11 yo, in middle school in 6th grade and is 5'8" and gorgeous! She still struggles with her rollercoaster of emotions and has a hard time in school, but she has blossomed into such a lovely young lady. She has been diagnosis'd mildly MR, which was heartbreaking to hear, but it also opened up a whole new area of supports which will help her as she gets older. She and I continue to have our little power struggles, but I am practicing patience like never before and it really is helping.
husband and I are back together under the same roof, after 9 months of living separately. Things are better, not great, but ok, for now. We really need to get into counseling, hoping to get that going soon.
J, now 5 yo, is doing really well. She is very happy to have us all living together again. She is so funny, quite the silly little girl, so much fun. Aly and J get along pretty well most of the time.
On a sad note, easy child 2 and his fiance lost their baby to a still birth. It was a very hard time for all. They are so strong though and have a great faith in their higher power, so that is carrying them through.
Well, just wanted to say Hi and offer up a little update. I pray everyone is hanging in there. I will try to check in more often.
Hugs, Vickie
