The Bunny came, mommy!!!

Hi Daddy!

The chocolate bunny that he wanted to eat first thing this morning!

Surveying the goods!

Unloading the Easter basket!

Connor in our bed last night!

As you can see from the title, the Easter Bunny paid Connor a little visit last night. Actually, early this morning. Connor went to bed last night, then reappeared in our room crying, lips quivering and really upset/scared. He said he wanted to sleep with mommy, so we gathered all his pillows, blankets, bunnies, etc. It took him awhile to fall asleep, but we did finally manage to get a few hours of sleep! So Connor gets up this morning amd I realize, oh crap! I forgot to help the Easter Bunny. So he runs in to go potty and I moved really fast to make ot happen! WHEW!! It was a close call, but he was so happy when he saw all of his goods, it was so worth it!

It rained for about 10 minutes his morning then it quit and it has been a beautiful day. Connor has been outside playing and I have been inside doing lesson plans, dishes and laundry. So much fun! Connor starts swim lesson tomorrow, so I will post about that when we get home!

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!
