October 4th 2012 - Long time no see

I want to start with apologizing to our readers for not
updating the blog in so long? We have been so busy?

We bought a new apartment in the same neighborhood as were
we live now. It is a little bit bigger which we desperately need. The boys get
one bedroom, Alicia gets her own room and Ross & I get one. The rest of the
apartment is pretty similar to the one we have now. We get the new place on
December 1^st and are planning on doing some renovations before we
move in. Right now we are trying to sell our place ? so please hold your thumbs
that we will get it sold!!

Talking about thumbs we had an accident on Sunday. Damien
fell down when he played at Leo?s lekland and hurt his thumb. It got really
swollen and a little miss colored. I called the nurse service for advice and
they said we could wait until Monday morning to see how he felt. As soon as I
saw it the next morning I realized we had to go and have it checked out. Poor
Damien had a fracture in his thumb!! He was such a good boy at the doctors and
at the x-ray. I was so proud over him!!

Poor little baby!!

After we got home from the States this summer my mom (Alicia?s
Mormor) started to work as Alicia?s assistant. It is so nice to get this help.
Alicia and Mormor do a lot of fun things together ? they go to swimming, horse
riding, training and to upplevelsehuset.

Upplevelsehuset is a place that is built specially for people with disabilities. It has 5 different rooms where you can experience with all of your different senses.

Some days Mormor comes to our place and helps Alicia out at
home. This is also a great help! She can play with Alicia, help her with the food,
and give her a bath and so on. At the same time Alicia is still with the rest
of the family but can be entertained the whole time. We are so grateful for
this help and we are so grateful to have wonderful Mormor who would do anything for Alicia. She is the best assistant we could have!!

Mormor always picks Alicia up after school on Fridays. Ross
is taking Fridays off so we can do activities with only the boys. We have been
going on some hikes that we have really liked. Ross will make a blog about this
later on!

Liam is getting bigger and bigger. 10 months old!! He is all over the place and it is hard to miss him
He has taken 5 steps on his own, but he is scared to let go..
