IT HAS BEEN 2 YEARS

I cannot believe it has been almost 2 years to the day that I written a post. A LOT has happened since then and words cannot describe the difference those two years have made not only on myself, but my whole family. Rilee has been through two cochlear implant surgeries, two years of a deaf and hard of hearing preschools, and was officially accepted into Talent Elementary for this upcoming school year. 

When we started our journey with getting these surgeries for Rilee we did not know what to expect. 

• We didn't know if she would like them, 
• we did know if she would benefit from them, and 
• we certainly didn't know how long it would take for her to talk.

 All of these questions were slowly but surely answered by Rilee herself. NEVER in my life have I seen a more determined child

 

Here is our big girl after her Preschool graduation with Larry and I

 She loves her sister and her sister loves her

She is so Beautiful

She is so grown up

She has grown so much in both her studies and herself :-)

Like Rilee, Reagan is also a determined little girl in more ways then one. She is spunky, sweet, a wreckin ball, and HILARIOUS. Some of the things that come out of her mouth are surprising. We love how much she loves and misses her sister when she is gone and how much Rilee just adores her. Larry and I are so blessed with the children that we have, they are sweet, good mannered, and well behaved. Here are some of the best pics of Reagan and of the girls together.

She is just the best

So grown up

It is amazing to think that these two years have just FLOWN by. Larry and I have moved to Talent Oregon and love the town house that we are in. Larry loves his job, I am loving my job as a wife, mother, and paralegal, and the girls are just being themselves. Thriving more and more everyday. I am starting my second year of school at CCU and Larry is on his third year at SOU. We will soon be getting our degrees and starting a new life for ourselves. We are in school because we want to show not only ourselves but our girls that no matter how old you are you can achieve your dreams.
