My Limited Time

My time is very limited now that I am working on my photography portfolio. Here are some family pictures and others for now!

Outside Weather

We are looking forward to a weekend of nice weather. Spring is finally here and the kids know it. Avery and Gracie will find their shoes and show them to me hinting for me to take them outside. Bryson is already asking to play outside when he wakes up! (still a little chilly in the mornings!)

Our Little Ones

What a blessing it is to have three kids in our house, and four if he would pose for pictures during the times he is here (maybe I can talk him into it next time he comes over!). Even though we have all been sick, I still managed to keep my camera handy...

Bottle before bed.

Bryson is getting better at smiling for the camera!

Daddy took this one of us at the park a few weeks back!

The Crud is Finally Leaving

The messy crud made its way back into the Pearce home. The kids and I have been sick for the past week and a half. I am finally starting to feel a little better. Avery and Bryson are much better. Gracie went to the Dr. today and has an ear infection. We are all ready to start feeling 100% better and get back to our normal everyday crazy routine, instead of spending half the day wiping messy noses! I am praying this is the last of this cruddy mess this season, hopefully throughout the summer. It is getting old, but we do not take it for granted when our kids need more kisses, holding and and simply just loving! They are so worth this messy crud!

It Hurts....

Tonight, I passed by the preschool Bryson was attending and I was filled with mixed emotions. I feel horrible for putting him through that for so long. At the same time, it was a great opportunity for him, because we are finding out early what is going on. Bryson is a normal kid and we want so bad for him to be in preschool with the other kids, play with other kids normally, and not have such a hard time. Unfortunately, it is going to take some time. I see a long road ahead coming up with the therapy, the psychologist and so on.

For now, we know that Bryson definitely is performing significantly below his age level demonstrating delayed fine motor skill development. Bryson has a definite difference in how he is processing sensory information in the areas of auditory, vestibular(movement), touch, and oral-sensory. This means that he is under or under responsive to certain sensory input. This gave us many answers to why he acts out and behaves the way he does. He does not mean it, he is such a sweet little boy. I struggle everyday to get him bathed, dressed, teeth brushed. He hates it. He throws a fit. But, at the end of it all...he tells me thank you mommy, and sometimes he will tell me he is sorry. We tell him we love him all the time, no response from him. We know he loves us. I can't wait until the day he comes to me "out of the blue" and he tells me, " I love you mommy!" . I am sure Bryant feels the same way.

We are blessed to find out this much so far and know that we can move forward in a positive way to help him. And, like I said before, I always try to remind myself that this could be worse. It still hurts.

Little Dare Devil

...and the scary thing is she was rocking the horse like this! We better be on the watch out for this little one!

Thomas

Bryson is all about Thomas...

Wedding Night Out

Had a wonderful, well needed night out at Amy's wedding. Sure did miss Bryant being there, but had lots of fun and enjoyed seeing a beautiful wedding!

Craig and Amy Brockman

Declan, Amy's little boy

My girl is crazy!

Park Weather

We have been enjoying these few beautiful days God has blessed us with lately. Just perfect for spending time at the park with our kids! He knows just what our family needs!

Avery blowing bubbles on the way to the park.

Blowing more bubbles at me!

Gracie sound asleep with her Elmo.

Bryson insist on wearing his hat sideways these days...

...but I try to get him to wear it like this instead!

We love it when Bryson meets a friend at the park!
