It's been a long, long while actually. Not sure what has happened too all the time. Quick update and I will make a concerted effort to post EVERY day. Not that anyone probably cares about what I write, but just for the history books of the Nudlers - I will carry on!
So, lots has happened in the last year or so. Bubi (Al's Mom) came to live with us in Jan. 08 after her heart attack. We had a wonderful 9 months with her, until she died from cancer on September 30th of last year. Having her here and taking care of her was both the best thing and hardest thing I have ever done in my life, next to having children and Al. We all miss her very much and I am dreading the next week.
On a happier note, N is in 8th grade, S is in 7th and B started 3rd at the public school this month. Knock on wood, but everyone, including B seems to be doing extremely well. We just signed off on his IEP and placement, but will continue to meet with the school team every 6 weeks or so.
This summer was a bit crazy - but a summer of some firsts. This was the first summer where I was able to let the kids swim in the pool together WITHOUT ME! This is huge people. N got himself a girlfriend in June and they are still going strong (very nice and age appropriate relationship). S & N were both in the summer play at ACT and had great roles. They were in Urinetown and N was Lockstock and S was Barrel. Very funny and they played great off each other. B spent most of his summer at camp. He started off with 4 weeks at the Extended Year Program at Crisafulli with his best friend, then went to summer camp at Academy North's Camp Triumph for two weeks and finished up with a week at Basketball Camp in Littleton. The first for him was that he went to two camps where he did not know a soul and did fantastic! We are so proud of him! S is playing baseball this Fall, B is playing Flag Football and Baseball, and N is playing Football. N has already had three injuries and currently has a cast on his right arm and hand. He will not be playing for at least another few weeks.
A is working at State Street currently on contract. He left Fidelity after many years in Jan. 09. He is enjoying the job, but the commute sucks. Marlboro vs. Boston, no contest, however we are just super thrilled he has a job!
