4D!

I found a 4D picture of Austin in our MAC laptop! I didn't relazie that Austin looked same when he was born. Here are 2 pictures of Austin from my womb and after he was born!

School?

We discussed that we will not go to Gallaudet sooner because of our VR. Our Vr won't pay Andy going to Gally or where ever to get his another BA in education. We discuss about stay in Alabama and take classes in Columbus Ga or move back to Montevallo for me to finish my degree and Andy takes classes for another BA degree so that he can become eligible for a teaching fellows program where he can get all tuition covered. We are still want to go to Gally. We will wait until the room become avaiable, then we will go there for sure. I will update the blog when we have confirmed about this.

Christmas

Some for you were wondering how was Austin doing for Christmas. Where were we during christmas? We went to Athens, AL to see my (Heather's) family and stayed there for 2 days. Austin got some clothes, laptop (toy), music book, and "Jesus loves you" music box. Austin went to see his grandmother (Heather's mother). He never have met her and finally, he got a chance to meet his grandmother.
After we visited my family in Athens, we went to Smiths, AL (near Phenix city) to be with Andy's family for Christmas. Austin got some more clothes, train, elmo, cars, flash cards with texture, and sport balls. Later that evening, we went to andy's grandmother's (Austin's great grandmother) house. Too many people in grandmother's house and Austin was having a good time with people's attention! it was so hot in the house because many people are around and cause the house became hot! We had a great time with our family for christmas!

Almost walked!

Merry Christmas!
