ONE YEAR! ONE YEAR! ONE YEAR!

Matthew has been with us, ONE WHOLE YEAR! HALLELUJAH! What a wonderful year it has been too. A son.......Mrs. Kooky? You have a son! That is what our family coordinator said to me on the phone over a year ago. I was over the moon! I had to tell Daddy Crazy IMMEDIATELY! And now look!!! 3 years old and flourishing! I wish his real parents could see him now. PERFECT in the sight of God! Perfect in our eyes! His cleft palate is fixed. His cleft lip is fixed. His speech is getting better and better every single day............SPEAKING of..........he can now say PEE PEE! (no more hee hee, typical for a cleft child) YOU talk about over the moon. I just tried to see if he could have a P sound. And he does!!!!!

He will start speech the week of March 10. Matthew is going to HIGH SCHOOL! hehehe No, really, he will be our first high schooler. His speech therapist is at our local high school and apparently, she is the BEST therapist and comes highly recommended in our county.

We are grateful! Thank you Lord!

Speaking of being thankful and grateful? MY NEW JOB! OH WOW! You talk about folks who love me. Truly care about me. GO TO BAT FOR ME!!!!!! My new supervisor is a lady who says please and thank you. She takes the time to truly teach me new things and talk with me with respect and treats me very good. So do the rest of the folks in the office. The lady who is teaching me is so awesome! She talks with me. Shows me things. Likes the questions I ask. (I think about all aspects of the work, not just the present, here and now stuff.) I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT! Did I say that I liked it?! Just one bummer thing..............

my old office put my computer in storage for me so that I didn't have a computer. Then I get it today and my NICE keyboard is gone. My VERY, VERY nice laser mouse is GONE! And the BEST kicker?!?!?! They trashed, let me say that again, they trashed my equalizer, headphone adaptable speakers!!!! Can you say, what?!?! Yep. They did.

My new office is trying to get me a better keyboard and mouse. The mouse that they gave me is one of those rollie ball things that doesn't move and already fell apart twice already since it was put in! *oy*

Well, tomorrow is THEE day! We celebrate Matthew's GOTCHA DAY! And do you know what my son wants for dinner?! DUH! PIZZA! hehehe.....*s* I asked him what about Chinese food and he said, NOPE. Go figure!! He's Italian at heart! ;o)

That's it for now..........
