Diane

Today, Lukas had speech. Every week for two years we have seen Diane. Lukas calls her "my friend". He loves her very much. Beckman started this year and he really loves her too. When I drop them off there, they happily give me a kiss and send me on my way. They are excited to see me when I come back, but they really enjoy their hour. I don't know how people can work all day, everyday with kids like she does. It takes loads of patience and a love for children. We are grateful for her. She has helped our boys so much.

For some reason, I thought I would waltz in, get the boys on her lap, they would all smile and bang -- perfect picture! What was I thinking..especially after a solid week of trying to get the perfect Christmas card picture (or which I did not and finally gave up and settled for an ok one)

This is Adele..the office also includes a lab etc. She works there and has always been so sweet to the boys. Beckman has always been drawn to her since he was very little. He runs to her and hugs her. Although, if Diane comes...he drops us all like hot potatos.

Do you notice my oldest child behind them misbehaving! ..that lil' stinker! Two seconds before that he was standing on the chair. I guess treats at the school party and treats at Diane's and no down time did them in. They were wild by 2 pm!
