Thread: It has been forever but I have a new photo of the boys...

Ive missed this forum sooo much but life got the best of me and we have been so crazy busy, i work during the day and started another big term in school that I do at night and unbelievably Elliott started kindergarten this year and Ethan is doing very well in preschool ESE, his speech has absolutely taken off and hes developing such a little personality now that hes feeling better its just amazing. He had a surgery Sept 14 in efforts to correct his obstructive sleep apnea for an adenoid revision, tonsilectomy and frenuloplasty but aside from that he has done very well. He has actually caught up in height and weight and just fourishes at school.

Here is the latest photo of the boys, obviously no PP was done on any of them lol


and the newest member of our family "Dayley" joined our family June 1st, Elliott named her after our long talks about how important it is to take care of his dog everyday, walk her everyday, feed her everyday, exc.. Daily was his choice of names and wouldnt hear of it being anything different. Her birthday is 3-22-09, the day after Ethans birthday. Shes a miniature dachshund a chocolate dapple, she has one blue eye and one brown eye. Her coloration (& eye color) is a genetic abnormality and Ethans conditions, being that they are all genetic complelled me to get something "different" for our family. She is currently in training (that we do through the local humane society) to be a therapy dog, our little way of giving back to the hospital that did so much for him. Here is a recent photo of her


I hope to get back in the swing of playing with photography as i have obviously gotten a little rusty. Dayleys therapy vest came from the website www.petjoyonline.com, they were accepting photos to be featured on their website of dogs in their brand of gear and Dayleys photo was selected, it will be shown on their website in the next 30 days as a model for the "tiny cape style vest", im very excited

Wow, it does sound like things have been quite chaotic for you. I hope things calm down now and we see more of you around here. Your boys are cuties and the new "baby" is precious!! I love the name and where it came from, that's so cute! I know you didn't ask for CC, but I would lighten that photo of your boys just a tad if I were you, it seems slightly underexposed. I can imagine how difficult it was just to get them both look and smile, though!

What precious little boys. They have grown so much. Dayley is just precious. She looks like she is a lot of fun and I bet she keeps up with the boys! TFS!

I would like to play with the photo of the boys, I just hadnt taken the time to do so. Thanks as always for your input Thats what I love about here. I took a good dozen that day and got a couple cute ones that were very spontanious with how they held themselves (one with elliotts head turned, arm around ethan, exc) they pose themselves now, i find its less of a fight and they have learned to be quick, stand still nice smile and mom leaves us alone lol!!

definitely sounds busy in your neck of the woods. your boys are so sweet. and Dayley is a cutie, love that first picture of her. and that's neat that she'll be featured on the website.
