Pictures

I just got off the phone with Ray and we had a great 2 hr conversation. He is really busy right now. He is taking 2 classes at the moment and working. His classes end March 13 so he has A LOT to do by then. He is getting very excited about coming home. I can't give you the exact date, but I can tell you he should be home by the end of March. A lot of things have to fall in place for that to happen, so we will see! He sent me a couple pictures yesterday so I thought I would share them with you. He also informed me there were 305 that he has, but obviously could not send me. So when he gets home, I will load all of them to a photo site and send the link to whoever wants it.

Today is kind of a blah day. It's cold and windy so Connor and I are going to make some cookies and watch some movies in hopes for a warmer day tomorrow!

I am Lara, a thirtysomething who is just now starting to figure life out. I am a very proud Army wife to Ray and a very proud mommy of Connor (7). Between hubby's job and his National Guard commitment, and Connor's school, speech therapy and horseback riding for OT, I'm finally finding time for me. I LOVE my family, sonic ice, Target, Hobby Lobby, Christmas, cold weather, cupcakes, mexican food, MOPS, flip flops, crafting, cooking, baking, spending time with my friends, photography and the occasional date with some guy I call my husband.

Connor was born on September 11, 2003. After he was born, we were informed that he failed his newborn hearing screening. As it turns out, Connor was born deaf but perfectly healthy. We were informed after meeting with a few specialists, that Connor was a canidate for Cochlear implants. We were beyond thrilled! Our little boy would hear! He had his first implant surgery 1 week after his 1st birthday and his second surgery in May 2006. He is still about a year and a half behind in his speech and language, but he is really making progress everyday. He's been through more in his life than anyone I know. He has also been diagnosed with kidney reflux that we discovered while on vacation in California in 2007. He had surgery to correct is in 2009 and it worked! He is currently in 1st grade and rockin' it if I might add. He goes to speech therapy twice a week and horse therapy once a week. He rides a horse named Chaney in hopes of gaining more confidence and he's making huge progress! He loves math, writing, word searches, legos, running around, climbing trees and eating. He is really an amazing kid and we are SO blessed he's ours!
