Happy Birthday you silly girl.. Can't believe your four years old. Kinda freaks me out how fast your growing up. You are however, a walking Hallmark Commercial these days. When giving a smooch: "I love you too much.." "Aiden is my Prince and I love him" as if we said that you didn't.. "I don't want Coley to go to Camp, I will miss her and cry all the time".. The DRAMA! "You are the best mom in the whole world" -(Because I gave you a freeze pop before breakfast..) This year has been so much fun for both of us. Together we got to watch Aiden grow into the fruitcake that he has become. He plays the games you make up as long as he can bring his ball. Nicole and you are the best of friends, reading books and painting your nails.. You made new friends at preschool. Report card told us what we already knew.. Your a smartie and that you were kind and gentle to your classmates. Crazy that you are old enough to get a report card.. Happy Fourth Birthday Baby Girl.. We love you! PS: You might not remember.. But, Sorry about hitting you in the head with the car door today..

May 2007.. GREAT HOUSE SEARCH OF 2007: lots to report. Located a home in Pembroke,NH only a few miles from the Chelsey home. Yeah! However.. the septic needs to be replaced. So we are kinda going back and forth with the seller. I'll keep you posted. Nicole: Doing well.. Progress reports came out. Learned REALLY fast how a "not-so-great" progress report can affect a budding social life. It's hard to be (act) 12 years old ALL THE TIME.. Emily: I had a meeting with her pre-school. Next year she will go 3x a week with speech 2x. We are also enrolled in the summer program. Ultimate goal is for her to speak (and be understood) at or around her age level. She doesn't mind being corrected if she pronounces something wrong but hell hath no fury like Emily being MISUNDERSTOOD! Aiden: HE'S A BOY! Between learning the word happy and finding out he's a boy yelling is his new favorite trick. He frightens people. Random strangers are assaulted with his deep man voice as he jumps in their path and screams "I a HAPPY BOY!" There is so much more but I have to go! PS. For those who saw the video of Emily's Singing.. We provide that child with some beautiful clothing, she takes it off and runs around in her underwear.. She's crazy like that.

Happy Birthday B! Aiden moments to remember: He's HAPPY! He is so animated and funny so I posted a video asking him who is HAPPY.. Cracks me up every time. Loves Diego. He says FREEZE BoBo's! (Diego's tagline) The Spanish I could do without, but there are times when Aiden could be speaking German for all I know. Had evaluation for speech, he scored very low. 2 days after the evaluation, he had a language explosion. Calls Nicole : Cole, says apple juice, chips are PIPS. He talks all the time now: Mommy's car, Daddy's car.. HI, CAR! Loves to wave to passing vehicles. He will still have therapy but just for articulation. Crazy in love with basketball and baseball. Says "shoot?" when he want's you to play basketball with him. He shouts "almost" if he misses a pitch. Started Gymnastics. He runs and jumps and "almost" waits his turn on the trampoline. Emily pretends she doesn't know him. He seems to like the balance beam, likes the danger in it I think. He stops halfway across and pretends that he's going to fall off. Nutcake. After the airport fiasco where my mother and I were going to step on him because he kept running away, I began puppy training. Just him and I walked the mall, if he ran away he had to sit for time out. He had 4 in an hour and a half. He seems to be getting better. But I'm sure if the opportunity presented itself, he's be off and running. . Loves to give kisses. If you ask him to "wind up a kiss" he pucker's up and will continue to smooch you until he's removed . This list could go on for ages... I hope that we remember how much he makes everyone of us laugh so hard. Happy Birthday Crazy B..

Yeah! For those breathlessly awaiting an update.. It's here.. Almost. As you may have noticed, it's been a little busy here at Casa de Weldon. So I need to recap the last couple weeks more for myself than anyone else.. The front page has gone retro! In honor of the Papa's birthday we dug thru a billion pictures so I posted a few on the front page. Nicole: We signed her up for Summer camp. Had sleep over after the big dance. Watched over her brother and sister ALONE for the first time. Passed Reading exam. Has learned (the hard way) to refrain from asking WHY? Emily: Hmm where to begin. She used to call my mom "I" she now calls her G-mommy. If something was missing and she located it she would screech "Elmo!" Now she just rolls her eyes and yells that she "found it".. Her speech is coming along, slowly. There is still no real diagnosis, appears to be strictly an articulation issue. She still uses her signs, but not as much as she used to. She's pushing limits and testing my patience, but at the same time she's more aware of other people's feelings. Very quick to say sorry if she makes someone sad. What's kinda weird is that she doesn't let it go. Two days after the incident she will randomly apologize again. Aiden: He's HAPPY.. I'm trying to get him on video explaining how he's not sad. Not sad ='s HAPPY. I love how he decides who's happy : Emily, the cat, everyone's HAPPY! The best part is the visual, when he says "HAPPY" you can see every tooth in his mouth as he concentrates on the word. For the last couple months he would refer to Nicole as DO-DO, (no clue why), he'd break out his man voice and shout for DO-DO to COME HERE. Last week for the first time he called her Cole. Kinda sad to say good bye to DO-Do. Hope you all are HAPPY!

Welcome to ESPN: NH Version.. Nicole and her fellow cheerleaders won the Class M Championship last Sunday. This title has not been held at their school since 1993. This information however did not keep them from being totally sure they'd win. Before the competition Nicole told us that even though they hadn't won in 14 years she know they were going to win, because the Coach promised them Jackets! C'mon..wouldn't you do the best performance of your life for a cheerleading jacket? No word on the jackets yet,but each team member was given a medal, Nicole keeps hers in her room and each day we are allowed a 2.5 minute viewing each day. Christopher's Basketball Team finished 2nd in the league. After a nail biting round of playoffs the season is over. Christopher scored about a billion points and has won a serious case of Hero-worship from Aiden. Aiden loves basketball. He made it to Christopher's last few games and would sit quietly, hoping he would be allowed to play. His eyes only left the ball long enough to point at Christopher or clap with he made the basket. I have been trying to uploade the video of Nicole's routine, but so far no luck. I shot a small video of Emily singing Twinkle Twinkle. Backstory: Dan had taken her two necklaces and put them on top of the Entertainment center. Emily climbed up there to get them and was explaining to me why there was a chair next to the TV
